Dms3 v.1 review on a SCPH-30004 R PAL v.4 or v.5 (the one with a warning text on the backside/underneath).
I got my machine modded by a company since I don't have the proper skills
to do it my self and I don't have much knowledge in the ps2 technology either.
But maybe this information could be usefull for somebody.
My spelling might be wrong. Dont correct me, I've done my best ;)

I got it updated with software version 1.2. I haven't tried anything
with any earlier version.
The first thing I did was to try to install the DMS3 Dev. Explorer.
I burned it to a cd-r with Nero (I tried with Alcohol 120% with the ps2 option but it
didn't work) and it said "Install failed". But when I removed my memory expension
(JOYTECH V.1.1 16 mb) and only used the original Sony 8mb memory the install was succes.
But when I tried to run the "Browser" it would reboot (I think) and jumped to the
ps2 menu where you can choose the ps2 browser or to configure the ps2.
Then I open the browser and then the memorycard, and there were three blue square icons
with the "corrupted data" as title (when I later tried to save during a game it wouldn't,
but after I'd removed the three blue icons it would save). The Dev. Mode was chooseable
by holding down the triangle both before and after I removed the icons and it worked both times.
I own the original games and movies, and theese are only backups.
I burned them using Nero at 1x speed and Disc At Once.
Rips
Grand.Theft.Auto.Vice.City.DVDRIP.PAL.PS2-ConFuSiON - Works fine. It sounds a lot. Maybe because a bad rip/cd etc.
Rocky_PS2-KALISTO - Works fine.
Rygar_The_Legendary_Adventure_USA_PS2-KALISTO - Works fine.
Mortal_Kombat-Deadly_Alliance_PAL_DVDRIP_PS2-DARKFORCE - Works fine.
Original
State of emergency - Works fine.
Other
PsReality MediaPlayer - Divx and mp3 worked fine, did not try xvid.
Paradox Mp3Player - Works fine.
DVD Movies Originals
Every Region 2 PAL works fine.
I tried one imported movie, "The name of the rose". It was all grey and white
before I had the chip installed, and it still was with the chip installed.
The movie has no region, it says on the back it works in every region.
I dont know if I need an RGB cable.
Special thanks to berti- (dog8me) and EnTiTyZ for helping me.
And thanks to the #Ps2newz@Efnet and www.ps2newz.net.
