Problems with the PS2

[endou_kenji]

Well, the story goes like this...

I borrowed a friend's PS2, but he already said that it was having some problems running

some games. well... i've tried to run the Castlevania he borrowed me and nothing... then

i've looked on the boot cd (it was one of those DVD Region X cds...) and it had a crack

inside...
I thought then, that the problem could be the DVD Region X. I've tried to copy it on the

PC, but the CD just exploded inside my DVD-R drive ;/
Besides the DVD-R doesn't working for a full day even after I cleaned it... nothing worse

happened.
I downloaded various different versions of this DVD Region X, and the Swap Magic 3.3, the

problem is: I don't know which one to burn. And besides that, I've tried to burn one of

these versions, but the ps2 hangs just after the initial screen, on a black screen with

PlayStation written on it (like that 2nd black title screen from the old PS1)
and, there's another problem: I don't know which chip it uses...
and along with this, there is a memory card-like thing, that must be on the memcard slot

on boot.

(sorry, i'm a newbie in the ps2 scene... -.-)

here are some pics i've taken from the chip and that memory-card-thing... sorry for the

resolution, my webcam sux :/

k, whoever sold that to ya should have at least explained it. I have never seen that particular chip... and the pics are beyond hard to make out... but after reading ur post I really don't understand what ur asking????

It could have problems running because:

1. The laser is worn out and needs to be replace.

2. The modchip is outdated and it has horrible bootrates.

It looks like an origa Mod except the resonator is missing which will not direct boot any copies you must have an original Game Shark or AR Max to swap game titles or DVD Region free (movies only) hope this helps some. If you in the USA I can remod it with a better chip.
