How to Boot DMS Explorer

Modchips open up the hardware of gaming consoles. With a modchip installed to your console's motherboard, you play backup copies of wornout games and run homebrew applications. But to access your modchips features, you'll first need to boot up the chip's software on your console. And if you have the DMS3 or DMS4 modchip installed on your Playstation 2, you can boot up the DMS Explorer to access your chip's features.
