Well the 2 major players on the modchip scene have released samples to PS2NEWZ for testing. Both teams are claiming v8 support. We hope to put then to the test very soon on a HK v8 PS2 and post the results for you all.
PS2NEWZ in the next day or two will have results of the DMS3 v2.0 testing on a OLD v1 PS2 with the 010 Bios and share the resuts also.
Most tests are done already on the v1 w/010 & DMS3 v2. I also have a picture of the install. I have 1 or 2 more tests to complete and a short review for you all. Just hold tight.
