sell your v4 on ebay !!! then invest on a v5 onwards pref a v7 then get yourself a mi or crystal chip ..... I think others here will advise you to sell on , at least you will have a decent ps2 to play with for the sake of a few £££££££ or $$$$$$$ ,, i picked up a v7 on ebay for £35 and its been spot on since !!

keep eye open and you will get a good deal

wait for other responces first but if you do addvertise to sell just say v4 moded ps2 !!!! could mean n e thing (paint job ect) but i do know people who have sold chipped ps2 through ebay with no problems . or try n sell private .

all ebay will do if n e thing is remove your add and refund your ad costing

V4's had crap lasers from the start and are kind of dodgy when it comes to playing dvd-r media. If your having problems with it playing dvd originals then i doubt it will even play dvd backups

slim lines v12 or 700000 v7 39003 i may have a v5 with a m2 for sale in a week or so.

Try and find an SCPH-39003 on eBay. I got a V7 one time for £40, modded with Infinity and sold it for £130!!!

the chip i got in the ps2 v4 at the moment is a judas so maybe that jus cant play dvd backups and i only use dvd+r media so will tht be any good or do they all have to be written to dvd-r's?

lufcfan · #10 08-01-2005, 14:46

V4 can't read +R - that's why your chip won't boot them. I think you'll find if you burn to -R they'll boot

crompton · #11 08-01-2005, 14:53

my dvd drive will only write to +r's does that mean i will need a v7 to read a +r? or is it like not possible???

Warlock · #12 08-01-2005, 17:23

A v7 will read +r media but its still better to use -r. Ritek or Taiyo Yuden are the best media. If its the judas chip i am thinking about it was only available in the uk and should boot dvd-r backups as well as cd-r without a swap. You shouldnt need a boot disc as mentioned above.

crompton · #13 09-01-2005, 01:48

well all i know is i definately need a boot disc, and is there any way i could make my +r drive write to -r discs? any firmware updates or summin? but like everyone is telling me to get a v7 ps2 but i dont know where to get one because everyone has always said ebay is really dodgy so like i dont know, and im only 13 and its very hard to understand what people are talking about so could someone post here if they have any information on a v7ps2 for sale and any one suggest what i could do because i only have a +r drive!!! thanks

get your maaa or paaa to buy you a +/-r writer

or save a bit o pocket money depends where you are you can pick up a decent writer for £30 check local free ads ect n try that before you go the whole hog

just a thought !!!!!!!

then try -r media as warlock has sujested

well i am in barry, south wales!, i have a dvd writer in my dad's computer and its a liteon but im not sure if its -r/-rw compatible and at the moment we cant seem to find the booklets that came with it so....ill say it again! does anyone know if a v7 is being sold on ebay and what if i buy the v7 and its faulty but they "forgot" to mention that in the item description?????
