Turns out i have a Quantum hdd, and the PS2 doesn't like it. so, for now, i can't get the SOCOM iso, or any other iso, to work. WinHIIP recognizes it, but that's on my PC, so what good does that do. I agree. Somone has to find a way to make non-$ony HDDs visible in the Browser. That would solve all this non-sense. Right now, we have to patch and burn, or rip and patch, then patch again... all just to make our SOCOM virtual discs recognize the HDD it's already on!!!! and to make it go online, as naturally it should. Why make us pay $100 for a game we don't want?!!! And make a simple HDD, at appropriate cost, for all us LEGITIMATE SOCOMII owners that just want to play the da^^n game we bought! OK, I feel better now. Maybe we should just all email $ony, filling their tech support email boxes with messages about them punishing non-FFXI players...
guys........ if we r 2 wait for ps2ownz or ps2nfo... we r all in trouble. For all intents and purposes they r as useless as $ony,and for speaking my mind regarding their unprofessional attitudes I have been banned from their website. Now,the help I received from both hardstyle and khafan .... now this could be just plain blind luck,I AM ONLINE. Now its true I have been booted and had to erase my chip and redownload the patch,but damned if I didnt play the new map lastnite. As I said,maybe I just got lucky,but with these guys help I was able to do it so U can too. My hats off to them and their desire to help a dumbasz noob like me,but ... DAMN ... the new map is awesome. I played in canwest ,eseals or just about anywhere an after hours room was up. Dont ever give up guys,and thanx again to afterdawn forums for all your support.
umm real1 is your burnt copy still working online or or has it stopped and my only other idea would be to get your hands on a official sony ;hdd copy the drive onto a 15-20 gb hdd and swap that hdd in to play socom
yeah, Real1, you have to enlighten us. if everything is working for you, we wanna know! how did you do it? what chip? etc...
real i dont understand your post what do u mean u erased your chip do you mean u eresed your memory card and redownloaded the update? what exactly did you do just patch a online fix and it worked? i know how to patch a socom image so i dont need help with that just post what you did or what patch you used.please and thankyou for enlighting us with your words.
yah man, thanks for enlightening us.. i played online today, and i saw A LOT of After Hours rooms..... i wanted to go in!!!!! ARGH! anyway, real, when u get the chance, u should tell us how u got everything to work.. i dont have a modded PS2 though. and i kno u have one, so i might not be able to do anything.. 'but i'm keepin my hopes up! so, when u guyz have the time, try to put a tutorial on how u did it! please!!!!!!!
Guys,understand that I cant help U. I am a sheep,I simply did as i was told to by the guys I mentioned. I am using HD ADVANCE... SWAP MAGIC and a FLIPTOP. No,I do NOT have a modchip,and yes I am still presently online...although I do get booted. What I meant by erasing my chip is that when I try to come backonline after being booted I have been banned so I erase my socom and ps2 settings info on my mem card... when i get back online I have to download a patch that we ALL had to do,again,reboot and try to get back online. Sometimes I make it past DNA$,sometimes I dont. KHAFAN and Hardstyle are the guys u want to ask for help,not me,I am not the smart one here. I wish u guys all the luck and hope u get to play the new maps too. I'll be online in a couple of hours in can west RealNosboss.... if $ony is reading this ... BITE ME
