But you can convert the ts2 to ts3 file as Srikandi said. And many did it a lot nowadays. You can read convertion tutorial to do it yourself for your friend. As far as I'm still a noob I will sit back and relax for kind souls to convert ts2 and friendly share in the community.(which so many did it already also). (wink)
