Alla TOXIC filer är borttagna från forumet då det från och med 2005-07-01 är olagligt att kringgå tekniska åtgärder som är avsedda att upprätthålla intellektuella rättigheter
*************
Eftersom modchip som kan starta brända spel är olagliga i England, och även är på väg att bli olagliga i resten av EU, levereras DMS4 med ett firmware som ENDAST kan starta "homebrew" applikationer, dvs hemgjorda spel/program.
Då det EU-direktiv som gör chippen olagliga ännu inte gäller i Sverige så kan vi tills vidare erbjuda nerladdning av detta alternativa "TOXIC BIOS". Vi installerar detta firmware som default när vi monterar DMS4 chip i våra kunders PS2 samt de nya PS2 vi säljer.
Så fort lagen träder i kraft i Sverige kommer denna download att tas bort från vår hemsida, och vi kommer sluta att uppdatera chippet i samband med montering.

Introduction
============
ToxicBIOS is a third party flash upgrade for the DMS4 Lite and Pro modchips by
Team Toxic. Our goal is to provide a host of features which DMS4 owners deserve,
but are sadly lacking in the factory default "legal" flash. Thanks to the
superior hardware design of the DMS4 series chips, we have been able to create
a freeware flash replacement which will unlock your modchips full potential
and enable your console to do things you have only dreamed of
Current features provided by ToxicBIOS are as follows:
- Auto-detect and non-swap booting of all disc types (PS2, DVD, PSX, etc)
- Compatible with all PS2 models V1-V12
- Dev.olution mode (from memory card and HDD)
- DVD region free, Macrovision removal and green screen fix for the DVD player
- Auto-ATAD patching for HDD-enabled games
- Fast boot mode
- Support for the HDD browser upgrade on a non-Sony HDD
- Set default boot mode to: Normal, MC/HDD Dev.olution, Fast Boot
- Playstation 2 game video fix (Colour Carrier, PAL, NTSC, PAL60), with
automatic y-position correction
- Playstation 1 game video fix
- Enable MegaMemory memory cards without the need for the boot disc
- Configuration menu where various settings can be manipulated
- "Toxic" logo displayed at the PS2 logo screen
- When booting from Dev.olution mode or Fast Boot, games use correct language
- Modchip disable mode, for online gaming
- 100% boot rate
- Much, much more to come!
************************************************** ***************************
NOTE: All HDD related features are unsupported on the PStwo (V12) console for
obvious reasons
************************************************** ***************************
Detailed Feature Overview
=========================
-> Dev.olution mode
Using Dev.olution mode you can boot applications from either the memory
card or hard disk drive. When booting in MC Dev.olution mode, the ELF file
"mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF" is launched. This ELF file can be anything you want,
such as DMS Explorer, PS2Menu, PS2OS etc. To boot in MC Dev.olution mode
either hold down TRIANGLE on controller 1 while the PS2 is booting, or
set default boot mode to MC Dev.olution in the configuration menu. Currently
the only application which can be launched with HDD Dev.olution mode is
DMS HDD Explorer. Once HDD Explorer is installed, you may boot in HDD
Dev.olution mode by either holding down START on controller 1 while the PS2
is booting, or set default boot mode to HDD Dev.olution in the configuration
menu.
-> ATAD auto-patching
When ATAD auto-patching is enabled, you can connect a non-Sony HDD to your
PS2 and use it as though it was an official Sony drive. You will be able
to install and use the HDD browser update (found on the HDD utility disc) on
a non-Sony HDD, and you will be able to partially install some games with
HDD support to improve performance.. even though this is a bit pointless
with the existence of HDLoader ^_^
-> Fast boot mode
Fast boot mode allows you to skip the redundant "swirling electrons" and
Playstation 2 logo screens and directly load your game as soon as you turn
on the console, saving valuable time which would be better spent gaming.
To use fast boot mode, either hold down SELECT while the PS2 is booting or
set default boot mode to fast boot in the configuration menu.
-> Default boot mode
Using the configuration menu you can set the default boot mode to one of the
following: Normal, Fast Boot, MC Dev.olution, HDD Dev.olution. If you do not
manually specify a boot mode while the PS2 is booting by holding down a
button on controller 1, the default boot mode will be used. For example if
the default boot mode is set to MC Dev.olution, when you turn on the PS2
without holding down any buttons on the controller, your MC Dev.olution
application will be loaded from the memory card. If you then wish to boot
normally (i.e.: boot through standard browser) hold down CROSS on controller
1 while booting to over-ride the default boot mode.
-> Playstation 2 game video fix
There are 4 different modes for the PS2 video fix, as described below:
- Colour Carrier: The colour carrier of the video signal is changed to
match the region of your console.
- Force PAL: Video mode forced to PAL (50hz), regardless of what video mode
games try to set. Y-position fix applied.
- Force NTSC: Video mode forced to NTSC (60hz), regardless of what video
mode games try to set. Y-position fix applied.
- Force PAL60: Video mode forced to PAL60, which is 60hz with PAL colour
carrier. Y-position fix applied.
The y-position fix is used to shift the vertical position of the display to
where it should be. For example, simply forcing PAL when a NTSC game is running
will generally result in the display being far off center. The y-position fix
corrects this and centers the display.
-> Configuration Menu
The configuration menu is used to manipulate various ToxicBIOS settings, for
example enabling or disabling ATAD auto-patching. The configuration menu also
displays useful information about your PS2 system and DMS4 modchip. To enter
the configuration menu, hold down SQUARE on controller 1 while the PS2 is
booting.
-> Language fix for fast boot/Dev.olution mode
A problem is present with most other modchips, where if you launch a game
or application from either fast boot or Dev.olution mode the language will
be fixed to English. ToxicBIOS reads the language which has been set in the
PS2 browser and uses this when launching a game or application from fast
boot mode or Dev.olution mode.
-> Disable Mode
When playing online games it is often necessary to disable the modchip so you
do not get a DNAS error while connecting to the online game server. To
disable DMS4, hold down L1 on controller 1 as the PS2 is booting. You will
see a message saying that the modchip has been disabled. Insert your game and
reset the console - the modchip will not be disabled and will stay disabled
until the PS2 is placed in standby.
Boot-time controller mapping
============================
When the console is booting, holding down certain buttons on controller 1 will
activate certain modes/features. These are listed below:
CROSS - Use standard boot (over-ride default boot mode setting)
TRIANGLE - MC Dev.olution mode
START - HDD Dev.olution mode
SELECT - Fast boot mode
SQUARE - Load configuration menu
L1 - Disable modchip
How to Install
==============
Installation directions vary depending on boot method:
- ELF boot: Simply execute the ELF using your favorite loader application
(PS2Menu, PS2Link, Naplink, PS2OS, LaunchELF etc) and follow the on-screen
directions.
- CD boot: Simply burn the BIN/CUE provided, boot the disc and follow the
on-screen directions.
Group News
==========
Coming soon: ToxicOS! Team Toxic are currently working on a BIOS release for
the DMS4 Pro modchip, called ToxicOS. As well as providing all features
currently found in ToxicBIOS such as autoboot and HDD support, ToxicOS will
boast features never before seen in any modchip - the most impressive of those
being the ability to install and run games directly from the HDD! ToxicOS will
also allow you to store ELF files inside the modchip's onboard flash and load
them via a boot menu. Unfortunately ToxicOS will only be available for DMS4
Pro and not DMS4 Lite, due to the small size of the DMS4 Lite's onboard flash.
Stay tuned for more info!
Miscellaneous
=============
ToxicBIOS may be hosted by anybody, anywhere - PROVIDED that the archive
remains unaltered.
Oh, and props to the DMS team for making such a nice modchip - even though
the flash they ship with the chip sucks and cant do much of anything :P
