questions about crystal chip abilities

[anarchy2007]

Apparently it has something to do with the TOC file. Ultimately if you try to record a disk like that on +R you'll get an error saying the destination disk does not have enough free space.

What the hell are u talking about? No GTA game is 4.7GB+, or 4.38GB actually, since thats the real size of a DVD+/-R.

You can burn any GTA game to a DVD+R.

I burnt GTA:SA to a RiData 8X +R, and it works better than good and like an original on my V7 DMS4 Pro PS2, which has ToxicOS .41. I might not have Crystal, but u can burn any GTA game on a DVD+R, it's worked for me on a Lite-On burner in DVD Decrypter.

I have also burned many ps2 games on DVD+R and it fits fine (including GTA)

Same here.
Seems that anarchy2007 doesn't know what he's talking about.

Hi guys. I just got the crystal chip 1.1 w/ hacked firmware and boot manager 1.8.

-backups play just fine not online.

But here's my concerns/questions

-sleep mode from boot manager doesn't work (is it supposed to?) But I am aware of the HSM

The whole reason I bought the crystal chip was to be able to bypass DNAS..but i havent' been able to at all really.

I have only been online with:

-dnas patched game
-original nba street 3

I have tried and failed going online and making copies with:
-nba street 3 (DNAS comes back with (-864) Authentication error ???
-nfl street 2 ("passes" DNAS but then immediately says I have a 'cheat device' installed and kicks out)

I am worried I have a problem with my install or software, any suggestions?

Im very new with this stuff ( been reading for 3 days, and getting my chip tomorrow :P)

But it seems to use the Crystal Chip's DNAS patcher, you need to run it in "Enhanced" mode in the Boot manager, have you been doing that?

[zarell]

Hi

Yeah I've been running the games in enhanced mode.

When its in enhanced mode it give me the 864 error

when its in minimal mode it gives -402 error.

I think if I dnas patch it myself it will work, but not with the crystal chip.

I didn't rip that game myself, maybe its one of those cracked games.

but nba street was a direct copy from a real dvd game.

I manually dnas patched the nba street and it works in minimal mode.

however, it doesn't work in enhanced mode, even when already dnas patched.

I haven't tried with the new firmware, but from what i understand, i shouldn't need it.

i think they got the DNAS patching working after a certain firmware version, no?
if your firmware is really old that could be the problem :/
