DMS3 v2.2

[ShinseiRyu]

Just checked DMS3 website and saw 2.2 bios for download. The link doesnt work by default but I added .zip to it and that worked.

Edit: They just updated their news page about the new flash and fixed their links.

well i tried the "new" video modes fix for PS2, and it screwed the display of PAL games, it's black & white now and the screen flicker like all the PAL games do, like before.

in the Flash 2.0 upgrade, it worked well, but now it doesn't work that good in the 2.2...


plus, in the Flash 2.0, the display screen didn't flicker or anything, it was good,but it was a bit off at the bottom (like while playing a chess game, you can't see the last range of pieces at the bottom)

since DMS3 doesn't have any feedbacks email address, i'm posting here, hoping the DMS3 team will see my post...

Raptor, there are 2 different video modes, use the regular one (not the new 2.1/2.2 addition), it'll work. And as far as I know, you have to center the screen yourself.

how?
i mean...the game is so cheap(Chess Challenger), it doesn't have a "center screen" option. all the games should have this.

so right now i'm thinking going back to 2.0 while this "bug" is fixed.

and i'm thinking of buying a VGA box for PS2...since computer screens can do 50Hz/60Hz without any flaws, and they have hardware-centering(so if there's no centering option in the game, you can do it right in the screen options at the bottom of it)

[itaintrite]

Which bug are you referring to? 2.1/2.2 have 3 different video modes, normal (no fix) + 2 others. And you're right in saying that one of those other two doesn't work (at least for us anyway).

If you really want to recenter the screen, there's a Y-fix patcher around. Use that.

ALL of the new PS2 video fix modes(in v2.1/2.2) doesn't work anymore on my PS2.

my PS2 is a V7 (39001) NTSC U/C with DMS3 2.0 with Flash upgrade 2.2 installed (for now)


the PS2 video fix worked for me in Flash 2.0 MAYBE because it was using both modes(color carrier and video mode) at the same time. i don't know...i'm not a programmer.

whooo Codebreaker 8 is working now!!! I'm happy!!!!

[Optical]

so the PS2 video fix is the only bug? if that is, not bad.

And about the Codebreaker, is the Codebreaker gonna work without the flash 2.2? because i have a Gameshark and it works with my dms3 w/ default firmware. so what's the deal?

[dzedom]

nope codebreaker didn't work withouth the flash 2.2
