    Default Weird Ps2 Bios

    I got my Ps2 modded with a Messiah 2 and when I got it back I noticed a slight defect in the bios. Instead of those tadpole things rotating in a cool circle they keep going in and just form 1 big dot... The defect itself doesn't cause a problem. I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing it. I used my digital camera to take a picture of the event.

    Really weird.

    I have Magic V on a v9 ps2 but "my tadpoles move around fine"

    But I noticed one thing weird. Remember when ps2 starts up, there are square shaped pillars kinda thing coming up on the screen and when ps2 doesn't find any form of media in the tray it goes to that tadpole screen.

    I find a thing weird that my square shaped pillars keep changing after booting two to three games. Sorry I don't have a digical camera so no pic.

    The pillars show how full your memory card is.

    Check your time settings. If I'm right, is should be at 00:00:00. Just input your time, and viola! your spheres begin to move once again

    well i guess when u get a chip installed, there has to be some kinda risk of something happening. If the games play fine and ur PS2 works then dont worry, the time i dont think u need, and the tadpole things, well ummmm, u dont need those either.

    Its funny that you said that because it stopped playing burnt games about a week ago, I'm taking it to my modchip guy to get it repaired in a few days.

    maybe the guy that mod'd messed up on some of the wires, like didnt solder them in good enough, or maybe the guy had no idea what he was doin.

    If he screws up he just gives me a new Ps2. But I can assure you that he knows what hes doing.

    That is the main thing to look for when someone is going to mod it.
