    guys it was a good chip
    ive used neo2, neo4, neo4 and origa combo, magic chip, messiah, duo and dms4 pro.

    dms had great features and had hdloader built into the firmware(toxicos)
    was great untill support died

    during the last update they added cheat code support wich i belive increased the size of the firmware.
    all older flashes still work great on my dms4 however last one wont work 100%
    have to press reset anywere from once to 1000000 times to get it to boot
    it either boots or i get a black screen
    this wast too common from what i heard but did hear a few others with same problem
    ive emailed dms diveno other sellers ect
    dms dont reply and thier sellers say they dont make chips now so im SOL
    they abandond thier users and shut down forums
    no more releases and no support

    i have reinstalled the chip 3 times thinking it was a ground issue ect. still same issue, revert to older flash it is fine. was told that some of the eeprom flashes of dms chips were faulty, could hold firmware but may screwup if using a larger firmware using parts of the flash that were bad.

    im still looking for a replacement. after this experiance with dms id never buy another one of thier products. however if u want toxicos and play cheatcodes off games on hdd thats your only chip to get. not bad if it works for you. i was prob like 5% of bad chips however they made no attemp to reslove my issue

    stay away from those solderless clips, they will fail. too many stories of them coming off ect. just get it soldered or solder yourself if u can.

    its def the chip.
    btw its the original dms4 pro
    rewired 3 times
    tested diff chip like m2 in same system and they were fine
    ground is fine. even redid many of the wires knowing they were fine anyway.
    took to a installer also for second opinion and they concluded was the chip also
    dms abandoned thier forums was a few threads on this too
    thier sellers and distributers unwilling to do anything
    close to 4 years now and no replacement or any response from dms guys.

    I told you guys about the dms4 failure rate a few posts back. Now, since those posts from July, there are new cases of people supporting my claims

    GARBAGE???
    This has been the best chip I have EVER owned. I have one in 3 of my systems. I replaced the DMS3 in one. I have had 8 different chips, of all, the DMS4 is my favorite.

    yeah but the problem people get is bsod...not rsod. There is a flaw in the flash of the dms4 pro se. I have personally tried to install 2 of them and the same thing happened each time. You are stating something different. What you're referring to can be recitified simply by downgrading back to older f/w. But, everytime you install a bad dms4 se pro it's dead from get go. You can't load any firmware on it. BSOD. or you just go directly to ps2 browser.
