ok heres whats new with my magic 3.1 v5 install. i made sure all the soldering connections were good. my ps2 plays OG ps2 games and psx backups, i cant get ps2 backups to boot i dont think this is a soldering problem seeing that i can play psx backups right? is this a media or perhaps a boot problem?

More than likely a media problem. What are you for media and backup software?

well my ps2 cd based games are burned on memorex, sony and fuji and they all worked fine before when i had my neo for my dvd based games i have a game burned on a verbatim dvd+rw maybe i should just burn it on a single use only i dont know if that makes a differance

CD-RW and DVD-RW are no good. I have heard of them working for some people but it is rare.

You said the games worked before with your NEO..... Are they by any chance patched?

Try re-burning your PS2 cd based game (original) with Clone CD and see if it will boot then....

Did you re-burn your "Original" game or did you try and re-burn the backup?

Also, what program did you use?

i made a copy of the copy for ico but for "the thing" it was a direct copy from the OG and i use nero. is there a differance if use nero or cd copy or cdrwin?

I would suggest trying Recordnow. there is another thread going on right now with a guy with a similar problem who solved it by going to recordnow.

Since "The Thing" is a cd based game, try using Clone CD to back it up......

see if you can get access to a import cd based ps2 disc. Regardless of what it is at least you know that if the original doesn't boot either it is a install problem, or a dodgy chip.
sublime90

at this point i think its the chip because if i installed it wrong it wouldnt play psx backups would it? im gettin a messiah 2 screw this lol

not necessarily though dude, as each wire from the chip does various different operations.

The amount of times somebody says a messiah2/1 isn't playing one thing but the other and then charlie_ps2/dust2dust automatically suggest which wire it is is totally over my head.

Although it's prob best not to bother either of them with regards to a magic chip. Ask hull_chipper if he's still around as he knows his stuff with the magic series.

what u discribed is a symtom of usig incorrect wire during modchip installation.

If u not using right quality wire on your signal connections then u will get problem booting PS2 backups.

Came across this wen I first started chipping and thought u could use any old thin wire.

Always use kynar insulated awg30 wire wrapping wire for best results.

ok i jus copied the SIMS backup i got from the site.......with clone cd (because it is cd format) using this thing i got from sum site(check it out www.psx-paul.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ ) yeah and that booted fine........it is on double sided media(is this good or bad) one side is cd-r and the other is dvd-r(i think anyways)...

any help

i used the wire that they modchip ppl (cant say who) gave to me with the chip so i was assuming it would work. are you suggesting i go out and re solder my chip with new wire? im very tempted to get the messiah 2 use that good wire and do it up . this is like the 3rd chip i installed in my ps2 hopefully if i go all out with the messiah it will be the last
