    What are the new mode(s) in Toxic OS 0.4? I looked in the manual pdf for info about this but found nothing. There are four modes now instead of three. What do they all do?

    Mode 4 is related to game timing. Fixes a few titles.

    Btw, Toxic 0.4 > HDL 0.7c

    Grr I hate to admit it, but ToxicOS 0.4 IS better than HDL. Dunno if its worth replicing my chip for a DMS4 Pro though...

    As with a lot of things, it's worth it once there is a game or games you want to play. I never imagined the political debates that would take place over it when I chose to get one though. Yes, I read the entire history of it all, but I do think I would have gone with the DMS4 if I'd been "in the scene" since the beginning, it is just a much too compelling workable solution for me.

    I just ran Cy Girls Disc 1 with the new mode 4, never worked before without it. Going to try other games that weren't working before now.

    Where you got that info? From what I heard it fixes games that check for the HDD like SotC and Jak X...

    See above--setting that flag does in fact fix some games that nobody has even really been yapping about. I seem to remember hearing those persons who tried SOTC had it working without setting another mode. I'll know tomorrow when I have the game.

    DMS4 lacks a force VGA mode so it is therefore useless to me.When that changes I will install one.

    BTW the PS2 scene would be far better off it it was 90% open like the xbox scene is.Problems like this with one chip having a certain subset of needed features while another chip having a different subset of needed features would be eliminated.
