Dms3 v9 and new upgrade completed

[loy]

We're happy to announce to completion of DMS3 v9, and DMS3 Flash v1.8!

Production has already begun for the DMS3 v9 chips, shipments will take place around the middle of next week.

DMS3 Flash v1.8 is used for ALL versions of DMS3 hardware, v1.0/v2.0/v9! You'll find 2 versions of the files: one is an ISO and the other is a BIN/CUE set. Use whichever works best for you.

What's new since 1.6C:

The Good:

Now works with AR MAX.

Support for DVD Player 3.00, including RCE protected titles. This is the player that ships with v9 consoles, and
is also available with the BroadBand Navigator Upgrade.

Slight decrease in the amount of current drawn from the system during system startup/upgrading. This may result in increased stability.

Support for the Browser upgrade included in the FFXI US beta kit.

Greatly improved PS1 video fix for both PAL and NTSC consoles.

Fast boot now uses the Select button.

Dev.olution Mode 2(HDD booting) is added. This can be accessed via the Start button. DMS HDD Explorer will be released shortly after the release of Flash v1.8.

Miscellaneous little bug fixes and code optimizations.

The Bad:

Macrovision removal is disabled, due to legal reasons.

Auto-selection for DVD movies is removed, due to conflicts with PS2 games on scratched/poor quality media, but will be re-added when a realiable solution is found.

BroadBand Navigator is not supported at this time, due to the fact that BBNav replaces the PS2 operating system with a Linux kernel. A solution is being worked on for this, but will take some time.

Still doesn't go to work/school for you, or do chores around the house...


We'd like to thank the beta testers for their time and effort, they made it possible to create such a well tested release and catch many little bugs!

Excellent work DMS team. Just the fact that the chips work when installed makes them champs! Then the great additional features they offer is really another nail in the coffin of the other modchip. Then you have HDD support already.... the list goes on and on why the DMS team keeps proving they are on top and intend to stay there.

Action Replay MAX works on my V7, and it is fully functional.

Ive had a 40gb hdd, the hdd explorer and their own homebrew format tool for some time now. You will be absolutely shocked at what this baby can do. I think its a fair asumption to say that the DMS team are now the undisputed champs of ps2 modchips.

1. does this mean support for non sony hardrives?
2. also can games as well as other files (such as movies (avi's Divx etc) and mp3's) be copied to the hard drive and viewed, played with ps2reality - or *perhaps* qcast- etc?

I understand that this has to be incoorporated into the game/app through something like libhdd - i think that in due time, groups such as kilisto etc will release "hdd capable" games and perhaps patches will appear on the net using libhdd in order to get games to install to the hard druve

3. can the hard drive be used as a memory card?

i know that the "magicgate" protection has to be cracked to do this - i think that sony has no claim to the DMCA if they contend that magicgate has been illegally cracked - they are not protecting copyrights via s1201 of the DMCA, magicgate is purely to exclude other competitors from the memory card market (arguably in a similar fashion to microsoft)

4. can files other than homebrew be executed form the hdd?

if yes is the answer to some or all of these questions then that is very significant.

Edit: rephrased questions
