DMS4 EZI SE PRO Solderless

I can get 4 for roughly $15USD. More would lower the price per unit, as much as I wouldn't mind buying a batch and selling them for a smidge of profit I don't have the spare cash to do so.

Anyone want one, two, twenty? Shipping from my location to yours would be extra but pretty cheap as these guys will ship nicely through USPS First-Class Mail. Even internationally.

 

I guess I should buy a large batch to stock up now, as I don't think they are made anymore... so what they have is it.

This is why people keep things to themselves

 

4 for $15 or 4 for $15 each?

 

$15 each

 

I'd take 4

 

To be perfectly honest, the no solder installation is crap.

I tried on 2 different consoles and wouldnt work. I will be making diagrams for a soldered installation (you will need to remove the FPC sockets though and solder wires to the small pads)

 

Well, I would apprechiate such diagrams, since i have 3 of those laying around which I would like to solder.
It might be enough already if you can map the DMS4 PRO SE points to the FPC sockets solder points.

 

I'd buy a large batch as well if I had the spare cash. Thankfully my Uni expenses are done and every penny I earn will be going to debts+hoarding. I hope I didn't overstep an unwritten/unspoken boundary by offering a small group purchase.

Truthfully I just want one/five for my own personal use, not a single person asking me to mod their PS2 has given a damn about what the DMS4 has to offer.

 

im surprised there is even a modchip market for the PS2 after FMCB came out

 

Well, it is still easier with a modchip. No patching, no nothing. Just pop it in and you're done.

The typical user wants it as easy as possible, that is also the reason no one gives a damn about the features the DMS4 has to offer.

 

You cannot play PS1 games with ESR or any other application that could be launched through Free McBoot, and ESR does not work with all PS2 games. So modchips of course still serve a purpose.

 

incorrect there is an app by FFGYER that boots PS1 backups its a PS1 emulator for the PS2 because PS1 games dont run in PS2 mode

so technically no need for a mod chip

and given that you can use OPL to launch games by network
modchips are obsolete at this point

 

I did not count that as there is still no sound, and you cannot play all PS2 games with the applications such as OPL. Therefore your argument still does not hold up; modchips still have a place. Yes, most of the things that could once be done only with a modchip are now possible with PS2 applications, but it is not correct to say that they do not have a place any longer.

 

incorrect there was a gui update sept 2011 that added sound
and OPL has FAR FAR more compatibility and most issues can be solved by enabling one of 6 modes and a Chinese clone of the network adapter supports SATA
according to the developers of OPL its 98-99% compatibility
when HDL has 80% compatibility
and modchips/burned media kills diodes

 

I thank you for informing of the PS2PSXe update. After reading that it was without sound a long time ago, checking back on its progress frequently and seeing that development had effectively halted, I just dismissed the program for good and never expected an update to add this feature. It would only make me think what a shame it is that such a promising application was never completed, so I thought to myself. Therefore, I never thought to check back on its progress ever again. But I am delighted to see that sound has finally been implemented.

I thank you once again.

There is still no CD-Audio support for games such as DOOM, but this is promising, and I look forward to its implementation eventually. Now I just await that and the day that Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance works with OPL...

 

glad i could help yah hopefully in 0.9 MGS2 will wor :thumbsup:

 

I'd be interested in one of these as well.

 

If network loading doesn't improve load times, it is of little use to me. I've also found some games don't work with OPL/ESR at all but work lovely with modchips.

And unless you want to have oodles of fun you can't easily load up an Action Replay and then use cheats on a game. Unless OPL has solved that one somehow without needing to rebuild images that may or may not work after modification.

And even if modchip's functionality has been replaced by software that doesn't mean it is superior. I'd love to get my hands on a 500gb IDE HDD but it just isn't in the cards. I won't do USB due to the fact that load times are only going to be par or worse than a DVD; internal HDDs will improve it.

 

there are china network card clones that support SATA
when you do consider that only 2-2.5% max games dont work with OPL
modchips are pretty much obsolete at this point

ontop of sonys handy work sabotaging the mechocon
modchips break the console more then they help it
sure slims are much much much better but you loose the made in japan reliability for china crap

with a mod chip im worried about when the mechocon finally bites the dust and takes the drive with it
that i basically have a paperweight with the fattys unless i have a network card

also im worried about the sder joints failing it is a different solder mix then the traces and its just tacked on so its gonna break at some point

i think thats wht they tried to solve with the solder less DSM4 right?

sorry to clog up the thread ill leave this thread alone
i just dont see any mod chip as useful anymore
since i found out there was a soft mod for the PS2

 

2-2.5% is admittedly small, but some of those are games I do want to play. Thus not completely obsolete. The sabotage is easily bypassed by doing the romeo mod and so far has kept my v9 functioning nicely.

Though until earlier this week I didn't know it was a deliberate act on Sony's part. I figured it was some sort of hardware flaw.
