matrix mxl2

[woznotwoz]

just modded my ps2 with a matrix mxl2 and although it plays perfect,sometimes it takes 3 or 4 attempts at booting my backups even though i was told the chip boots 1st time everytime,have i installed the chip incorrectly or is this normal

hmm no games should load first time.. ive installed a bunch of them.. maybe its your power/ground wires ? try beefing them up.

try what netmech suggested if not u could have a mxl clone,said to have a bad bootrate

[woznotwoz]

By "beefing up the ground and power" do you mean i should try a thicker wire?thanks

[N£TM£ÇH]

Yea use thicker wire or double up the wire. Dust2dust brings up a good point, your chip could be a clone, go to www.infinitymod.com and check to see if your chip is a clone or not.

Checked all the wires and everything seems fine also checked the chip and its not a fake and its still pot luck whether it loads a game and now its pot luck loading original discs,any ideas?

What vers ps2 do you have? You laser might need cleaning as well.

Then try beefing up your power and ground like recommended.
