So why is it I still can't find anyone who does fitting in the UK? After my last fat PS2 broke down, I want my replacement slimline PS2 doing.

have you concidered the Freevast project? Its working now at the cost of a memory card.

Tony Blair was hubby with Bush right? How's this new guy, Brown? Does he like being Bush's pretty boy as well or is he a bit more independent minded?
Since Tony Blair left, I haven't heard anything about the political landscape in the UK.
Bush is doing a lot of questionable things here (go look up the U.S./Mexican border wall and what he's done to get it built) and I can't help think Brown might be like-minded.

Freevast is fake.....right? Prove me wrong, please. This is something I'd love to be wrong on.

Thanks! Reading up now. I've been using several exploits for a while now, so I'm interested in seeing what this can do!
(EDIT: Now that I'm using it, I see it doesn't allow backups to load without a swap, which is fine because I already have a flip-top lid on my v7. I can't get CDloader/DVDloader to work with it, but SwapMagic 3.8 ELF and HDadvance work fine. The only benefit so far is not having to pop in a PSX disc to boot the memcard, but that wasn't a big deal anyway.
I could take this or leave it.)

This is all very good news.
I can get back into the modding business once again. :applaud:
But unfortunately mods prices will start to rise once again. :cry:
PS2 mods are very easy, not as easy as the xbox or the gamecube.
I agree with the verdict, mod chips are perfectly legal, its the pirates who copy the discs who are to blame. :angry:
Thanks for the heads up! :cheers:
BTW whats up with the PS2? Is it not reading the discs or completely dead?
-
It's not likely to happen in the USA because here the Nazi-Like DMCA states that any circumvention of copy protection, or encryption, is illegal. The mod-chips typically hack the BIOS and if the BIOS contains encrypted code or custom code, then the creation of the mod-chip breaks the DMCA. Stupid, but true.

yeah like bypassing the electronic key security on a automobile igntition to make a street car into a push button start race car.
same thing with the radar detectors and cable scrablers they can sell them but not use them :dunno
theres to many comparables and to go after a few only and look the other way on the rest.

I think you might be doing something wrong. As long as your iso's are patched you can boot them up without a swap using the free MC boot tool and the ESR direct dvd elf that goes with it.

I'm not patching 500+ already burned games, not when I can already boot them without Free MC Boot.

Do you have an Action Replay Max Evo? (Or any way of getting files from a USB flash drive to your mem card?)
Do you have Swap Magic?

got nothing, but I can swap trick any ISO(s) you can point me to (I just take the lid off, heh)

That link above that Hoagie_One posted has a lot of good info. I think on page 3 or so you'll find a tutorial.
I had an easy method if you had the above items, but just go read up on what that site has, and any questions you've got, just PM me.
