I have trouble with my DMS4 chip on first boot. It always give me a black screen, and thus I usually have to reset 2-3 on first boot. After that it all is ok. But the new bios didn't solve this annoying problem.

hm.. sounds like interference. perhaps changing the chips position or routing the wires away from the bottoms of the GS and EE would help.

yes, i have had this prob with a couple of my dms4 se lite's too..

from standby i geet BSOD, press reset and all is well no matter how many reboots i do, but back to standby and i get the same again..

i replace the dms4se lite with another dms4se lite while keeping the same wiring and the other works fine, booting from standby,etc..

i have the exact same issue,
and it is quite obnoxious

With toxicOS 0.41 both Spyro and Jak3 work from the hdd now!

Ok, I think I may have this figured out, but I'm not positive. Is the ToxicOS for use ONLY with the DMS4 Pro chip, or can I use it with a DMS4 ES lite, DMS4 lite? I am trying to decide which chip to go with, and the ToxicOS is my deciding factor. If it will work with a DMS4 ES lite, I will go with that and save myself 20 bucks, but if not that I guess I will have to go with the Pro

Toxic OS only works with DMS4 Pro chips. Toxic BIOS only works with DMS4 Lite chips.

Thnx!!

Hrm..
I wonder if there will be another ToxicOS update soon in light of the competition churning out a new update (the new MI update -- although the MI update is rather useless as it's HK only)? Maybe within the next few months..

[HypERSoniC]

im pretty sure the developers interests are focussed elsewhere atm

I am trying to flash my DSM4 lite with the new Toxic Bios, how do I do it? Help please!!!

I have the files on CD, burned the cue file as image in Nero and added the bin file but now what keys do I hit to get the PS2 to boot from CD?

have you tried inserting the burned disc into your ps2 and booting? the shipped firmware supports homebrew.

it won't boot it straight, it says disk read error, but I know I have flashed the bios before and I thought you had to hold down some key or keys

[lestech2004]

Is it true that toxic is no longer working on future patch for DMS. (Read from other forums)

[Gilgamesh83]

Well, its been almost 10 months and no update or word from the authors, except for people guessing or having heard that they have other stuff going on atm.

[strngprpl]

Can you change anything with the ToxicOS?.....meaning, the interface, or have the PS2 bootup in BM? or am i asking a n00b question
