I burned a DVD-R of Tetris Worlds (just a quick game to test if it works) and it's not reading, giving an error "This disc could not be read". Holding □ gives me the ToxicBIOS and holding L1 says it's disabled. New to PS2 modding btw

What is the model number of the console and what chip do you have installed?

You have a clone of a DMS4 modchip, similar to the Mars Pro or M-Chip line of chips.
Since your model of PS2 is a V12(?), it is highly recommended to install a PIC fix to prevent the wear and tear to the laser whilst using burned media.

These sites might help you out:

His model is 77004 which means it's V15.

Pic Fix is not needed in this model

It would likely be dead if anything you insert doesn't get recognised.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @realtimesave, It definitely did take a while for the PS4 to be fully hacked, much like the PS Vita.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Sony has announced that they will be using a non-x86 processor for their next-gen console.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Amazon fire sticks switching to a custom linuxOs instead of Android, sucks for 3rd party apks
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, is the red ring of death still common in phat xbox 360s?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BigOnYa, And Linux, regardless of its distro, is still easy to install 3rd-party modifications.

    Yes, phats are just a good heater for the winter months

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, then the chance of potentially me wanting to have a phat xbox 360 is -1%
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If you have one, then chances are is that it needs a reballing of the chips.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If you can Get a slim, even if few dollars more, do it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,

    @Xdqwerty, Falcon RGH models are fine, but a slim model is slightly more money apparently.
