Booting PSX w/ messiah 2 pro (yes i read the sticky)

[FakeBlood2002]

I cant get it to work. the directions say to have the game in the tray while in standby mode (which is when the red light is on i assume), then hold resest until the blue eject light comes on. well when i do that it just restarts the ps2 and goes back to the browser where it shows a memory card and a disc saying its a ps2 disc. every other disc type works fine except ps1 games. anyone know what the problem is :(

[bighap]

Try holding reset for a second or two longer.

[FakeBlood2002]

nothing. doesn't matter if i hold it until it comes on, or for 2 more seconds, 5, 10 whatever, doesn't do anything but load and go to that browser screen.

[bighap]

Have you tried more than one game? Open up your PS2 and see if anything looks out of the ordinary too. Might have a loose wire.

ur chip might be bad r the cdrs 650mb or 700mb and u may try burning at a slower speed do u have any other way of trying say like a ps1 with a mod or boot disk u could test the games on to see if they work

[FakeBlood2002]

ill keep tinkering....the discs are 700mb, and yes the discs work with my ps1 and worked with my no solder mod chip as well

- could u play dvd movies?
- how about psx originals with the chip on and off?
- remember to only hold the reset button untill the blue eject light turns on, if you hold it too long you will turn the chip off
- try removing the memory card from the memory slot on the ps2

[FakeBlood2002]

- could u play dvd movies? --originals yes, dont have any burned ones

- how about psx originals with the chip on and off? --no with on and off (although i cant tell if its on or off, just going by seconds reset is held)

- remember to only hold the reset button untill the blue eject light turns on, if you hold it too long you will turn the chip off -- done it

- try removing the memory card from the memory slot on the ps2 --tried that , didnt work

[kooldraco]

then maybe the a wire did come loose (maybe SCEX)

[Jay boy]

Mmm, clone methinks.

[FakeBlood2002]

i discovered holdin O while booting loads up ps1 originals and most backups. the one i was trying still wont load though, which is the IMBNES nes emulator for psx. others work. oh well guess its not a big deal since i can play that on my ps1 anyway.

[kooldraco]

Then you have a DMS3 not a Messiah2 pro

[bighap]

Sounds like you have a DMS3 then cause you hold O to boot psx with it.

[FakeBlood2002]

well i sent my ps2 to modchipguy.com with an order for a messiah 2 pro. got it back today. it boots everything automatically except ps1 games. so you guys think its a dms3? if so im not complaining lol

[bighap]

Try a dvd movie. You should have to hold square to get it to boot.

[Seven O Two]

dms3 loads dvd movies automatically now with the 1.6c


try holding triangle while booting up and see what that does
