Dynamic Network Authentication System

[Derree]

I have Fantastic Four for my Playsation 2 and I was trying to back it up using dvdd and the methods discussed here many many times. Normally I have no problems backing up my games but this one comes with "Dynamic Network Authentication System: or DNAS. The back up won't boot up in the ps2 ( and yes I have swap magic ) has anyone heard of this before? http://www.us.playstation.com/site.aspx?id=6

I believe Sony uses it to check your setup. It logs your software and settings and I think sends it to Sony for authenticating. Is your PS2 online?? If it is, try the game without being connected and it should be OK.
As far as I know, it's just for the online component and shouldnt have anything to do with a console offline.

[Derree]

yeah thats what I thought as well Furious and no I havent bothered putting my ps2 on line...can't figure out why it won't back up that game...hmmm..

[Derree]

Oh well I think I give up on backing up this game...still just get a black screen dammit...

[Furiousg]

Strange. Do you have any other DNAS enabled games that you have tried to backup??

[Derree]

No I don't think so I will have to check when I get home..so far I have done Madden 06, Resident Evil 4, Smackdown Vs Raw 2006, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and I think thats all I have gotten around to. I don't think I noticed on the boxs or books for those if they have DNAS on them or not. But it's the only thing I can think of..one bad burn I can see, even two ..but not three

[Furiousg]

Derree...had you used the patch tool for Fantastic four?? I found the tool that should help you crack it. Only problem is I am not 100% sure on how to use it. I can send it to you if you wish to give it a run.

[Derree]

Yeah if you wouldn't mind....I havent used it either...hope its not to hard to do Does it work like the dvdd wizard?

[Furiousg]

I really dont know how it works, but I believe it does rip all the files to the harddisk. How can I send it to you? I think it's only a couple MB, but it is on my PC at home.

[Furiousg]

Do you want me to email it to you?? Or maybe I can upload it here as an attachment.

[Furiousg]

This is a .rar file, I just changed the the extension so I could upload it. It is an exe once you unpack it. Good luck ! !

[Derree]

Thanks Furious I am at work right now too so I will have to wait until I get home to unpack it and give it a go.. I will let you know

[Furiousg]

Here's to hoping ! !

[Derree]

Hey guess what...It worked!! Game works good.. bit of freezing now and then but very good...so where/how did you find that Furious? Sending Greens attcha!..or I would forum won't let me gotta spread it around first

[Furiousg]

Super ! ! I'm glad to hear it was successful. And I really cant divulge my methods.

I did quite a bit of searching to come up with the right file. But all worked out for you
