Duh-Sorry a link might help!
forum-PS2 Reality English Forum (http://www.ps2reality.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=40)
I have downloaded and used the player myself and I must say it is of very good quality! You do need to have a chipped PS2 or use some sort of boot disk method though.

As far as I know it works with all versions or modified PS2's (I use a no solder boot disk chip) If you've got any worries check out the forum and download the proggy for it (its got a read me txt that explains how to create a disk with the playa on it) as long as your PS2 read CDR's then you should be ok.

Depends on the size of the movie. You can burn the player on a seperate disk and then boot into that and swap disks for the movie. Thats what I do anyway. I know that looking through the forums some ppl have a problem using that method but it works on mine. the playa itself is not very big so you should'nt have too much of a problem with space but for a dvd rip you will have to put it onto two discs, which is a bit of a bummer but at least you can watch all your d/l's on a full size TV at last!! :D

Sorry brockster I did&#39;nt read one o your posts propaly. The player only plays movies inthe Divx format NOT vcd (mpeg1) DivX is the format that most movies are coded in on kazaa. (.avi) Sorry bout the confusion&#33; <_<

Yeah thats right-it works and it works well&#33;&#33; Like I say check out the forum for any issues with it but at the end of the day if it dont work for you (no reason why it should&#39;nt) then all you&#39;ve wasted is a few moments time and one cdr&#33;

When you d/l the proggy it comes with a image genarator, you drag and drop the nessacary files into it (and the DivX) and press the image button. This creates a .bin and .cue file which you can use with nero to burn onto cd. All you need to do is to select the option in nero to burn from an image and select the .cue file that you created and burn onto a disc. It is recommened that you burn at a slower speed such as x8 for better copy. Then boot th disc into yur PS2 as you wuld do with any other CDR. Just a ord of warning though- if you use a boot disc with your PS2 mod; do not make the disc size any bigger than 650MB as it wont work&#33;

Give me about a hour and I&#39;ll post how I done it. (I&#39;d do it now but I&#39;m on my way out&#33;)

OK I got delayed&#33; Follow these instructions and tou should burn it OK&#33;
Open CDGENPS2, drag the files in the folder to the right hand side of CDGENPS2 in this order- mplayer.elf, system.cnf and cdvd.irx. Then press create image and save. Next open nero burning rom with the wizard. Select CD in the first option, then compile a CD, then other CD formats and then create cd from image. Select the image you created earlier and in the next screen select x8 from the drop down and most importantly disc at once/96 from the other drop down. To create a DivX movie disc do the same as before but only use your .avi file in the image. Boot up with PS2 Reality player disc and select your langugue and then read the disclaimer. Press start and it will give you a list of options. Press X for browser and replace the player disc with your .avi disc. Then select the movie get some popcorn and enjoy&#33; If yourPS2 crashes when you sawp discs you&#39;ll have to burn the player and movie on one disc. To do this follow the instructions for making the player image but just add your .avi at the bottom. Try that and let me know how you get on OK?

so you guys are saying that a vcd will NOT play in a ps2?

A PS2 cannot decoode MPEG (vcd) But if its a chipped PS2 and you use the player it will play DivX&#33; :D

So what do I need to play the boot disc? When I put it in it says it is an unknown disc.

If it needs modding, is there anyway of doing it without a chip, like a Action Replay card or something?

Cheers&#33;

To ways without soldering- "cogswap" or "knife swap" dont know much about those but I&#39;ve heard they can damage your PS2- try a google search. You could try a pnp no solder mod. You do have to open your PS2 but its just a case of unplugging a ribbon cable and then plugging it into a chip. If you do thios it will invalidate your warranty so beware&#33;&#33;

I searched for it and it came up with some things to do with Action Replay cards. Can I do it with that? It&#39;s got something to do with disc swap.

namzuf9

I&#39;ll explain briefly what it is: Cog swap or knife swap is a method of forcing out the disc drive of the ole PS2 without using the eject button. It can damage your PS2 quite easily. I personally use the no solder mod and swap magic boot discs. Its quick and easy and does not hurt the PS2. I&#39;d suggest you wait and buy a no solder mod and boot discs.
