Uh....? Wasn't the test already completed one month ago?

**ps2swap** · 08-31-2003,08:27 AM

no tests where not finished, it is working fully now, more tests to follow

**ShadowKnyght** · 08-31-2003,10:04 AM

yes he seems to have been unusually quiet...

Must have gotten sick of people abusing the Messiah and the lack of the promised V1.31.

Anyone who has ever worked in the industry would know that he is more than likely telling the truth about stocks of the ACTEL part being hard to get.

Believe it or not every now and again even surface mount resistors and capacitors can end up with 10+ week lead times!

I'm back. It's August - people go away and leave PCs/Laptops behind!.

I got two production chips v1.31 and have tested them with my usual consumer products on US v7, HK v8 and Jap v9. A tabular report will appear Sep-01 or 02; I'm just waiting to complete something on the v9 which is being re-modded to put RESET onto EJECT because of changes made by Sony to RESET button behaviour.

If the disable function works OK then I'll publish the formal test results.

A couple of production samples will be sent 01-Sep to LOD for independent review if he cares to do so.

would love to test one in the Oz V9!

I am sure Aussieswan would appreciate that as well as the only station I can get him at the moment is a V9!

It bloody well is hard work!

Repetitive tests
AR2 swapping
Memory cards in - memory cards out
Re-mod the Jap PS2 for EJECT instead of RESET

One interesting fact comes out of this - well we knew it already. Given that the media I use for the tests is constant, the only change is the laser i each different PS2. So I noticed with respect to GTA3:

With original games there was no mirror planing
With DVD-R Princo copies there were differing degrees of planing on the v7 (worst) and v8 (slight) - v9 none.
On the Ritek copy, only the v7 had some not too serious planing

Laser condition and media quality in combo have a lot of say in outcomes.
