anyone? :(
c'mon... nobody knows anything about this??
Give it time. Not everyone on this planet is awake when you are awake!
Most of the professionals here who can give answers are asleep or busy.
You didn't tell us what was the exact error you got.
And I think that there's an error in your original message, making some readers confused.
I suppose that you are asking for help, and that your PS2 cannot play DVD9 movies?
Try disabling your chip. Some consoles will not be able to play DVD movies with a modchip enabled.
Also, the DVD movie must indeed be a MPEG DVD movie, and not DIVX or some modern format.
If your console is a PAL console, perhaps the video must be in PAL.
(If it's a NTSC console, maybe the video must be in NTSC.)
And there's a region code lockout for the PS2 too, so your original DVD movie disc must fall into a compatible CSS region as your PS2.
You might also want to use recordable discs of higher quality (E.g. Verbatim DVD-R DataLife Plus with Super AZO).
I've got one SCPH-10000 that won't ever play any of the DVD movie discs I've got, as it'll only play region 2 discs (My DVD discs are either region 3 or 1 discs).
Nope. Only NTSC-Consoles suffer from this problem, afaik.Quote:

Well, you are right, maybe i should've wait a lil' bit, but this is frustrating... i get no error when trying to play the movie, it just kicks me back to the ps2 browser.
However, i've found this problem is not only with DVD9, but with all DVDs booktyped to DVD-ROM, even with DVD5 +R discs bootyped to DVD-ROM. I only use verbatim DVD+R DL to burn my games and movies, because i can't find -R DL discs anywhere. I've tried with 2 original DVD movie discs, the second disc of god of war 2 NTSC and some limp bizkit concert i had lying around, and these don't wanna play.
UPDATE: disabling the chip helped, now it tries to play the movie, but it can't due to "regional restrictions"...
any ideas?

It auto-forces the disc-detection to 'PS2[-disc]' then (normal for most, if not all modchips).
OSDSYS think's it is a 'PS2-Disc' and searches for a SYSTEM.CNF, but can't 'come to think of it' that the inserted disc is a 'Video-DVD', thus it isn't starting the DVD-Player.
Conclusion/Solution:
--> You can start you DVD-Player manually, with an ELF for example.
I'm not sure, if your Modchips DVD-Player patching abilities are available, if the DVD-Player is started manually and not by the auto-routine.
Btw.: Maybe you can force your Modchip into DVD-Video-Mode, or similar (it should auto-force the disc-type to DVD-Video then).
i was aware of the dvd-v/psx forcing boot mode by pressing O when the console starts, but that doesn't work, not with dvd movies neither with psx discs.
Not even the forcing works?Quote:

I thought 'Y' was the one responsible for such an error.
i will open up the console and take pictures
