there r ways round even if u r banned...

in any case ... what was the DNA$ error number ? and did u disable the chip before going online ?

to tell you the truth i modded it for a friend of a friend i asked is all its wanted for is playing backups and was told yes, there was no mention of any online game playing.

anyway my friend brought back to me saying that he'd been using it online prviously and now couldn't get online, and that it came up with a dns error he said but since reading a few posts i'm assuming he meant dnas.

unsure of the code number as he diden't state that, i've gopt it here but have no access to broadband so i could test it.

as there was no mention of online i didn't say make sure disable if you go online, so it wasn't disabled when he tried it

is there any other way i could test??

cheers for your time m8

well, if he can, tell him to try and disable the chip, and this try again....also, try to get a hold of the DNA$ number...it helps a lot....and lastly, tell him to try and play some other online game.....if he cant play any game with DNA$ in it, and he says he previously cud, then yes, maybe his ps2 IS banned for some reason....again, tell him to get u the exact DNA$ code...

Try changing the ID of the PS2?

Your friend will either be getting a

-402 sceDNAS2_SS_INVALID_MEDIA
Invalid disc. "DNAS Error (-402) A PS2 disc information error has occurred."

or

-403 sceDNAS2_SS_INVALID_AUTHDATA
Invalid or corrupted disc authentication data. "DNAS Error (-403) A PS2 disc information error has occurred."

error.

Meaning that DNA$ has detected his chip, which is what happens when trying to play an original store bought game online without disabling your modchip.

If he puts the chip into standby or switches it off when playing originals online then he will connect fine. There's no need to change console IDs the PS2 isn't banned. The only time you would need to chnge console ID is if you want to play games from a region other than your own ie: a game in a PAL region if you're in a NTSC region. Sony only ban consoles for gross misconduct or cheating.
Alternatively, he could make a backup of the original game, patch it with the correct DNA$ ID & not need to worry about disabling the chip as DNA$ won't detect the chip when using a patched backup.
