what wires control cd based games?

[sublime90]

on the messiah 2 what wires are for cd based games? my ps2 reads dvd original and backup games like its suppose to but it wont load any cd based games (psx and ps2) so im figuring i need to resolder a few wires in order for them tow ork

now i was wondering, before i mess around with b-i wires, i can load my cd-r ps2 backups using game shark they wont direct boot only dvd+r do. now do those wires have anything to do with direct booting them? or am i just booting them up wrong thats why i get the red screen?

ok heres the deal. the whole time i was blaming myself for soldering something wrong because my ps2 wouldnt play cd-r based back ups. so after opening the ps2 and looking at the cd/dvd pads (b-i) i noticed that one wire....the bare part was ever so slightly touching another wire...also the bare part i simply moved them apart and now my v5 messiah 2 ps2 finally plays all backups! i just wanna say thanks to everyone who helped me and put up with my questions for the past month or so.

peace out

Well done.

May we know please which wires were touching - for the database?

[sublime90]

the wires that were touching were E and D. my psx games play kinda fuzzy though but i dont care, i finally got it to direct boot ps2 backups thats all i really care about

explain kinda fuzzy, could b e good for future problems

[sublime90]

well for kinda fuzzy i mean when i load a psx game all the colors and graphic look really dull and kinda blurry (like a nes game) the playstation logo colors are faded its kinda hard to explain but it doesnt look like its suppose to but as far as ps2 cd-r backups....perfect
