put your backup in and switch your machine off.
when you turn it on hold down your power button and it will turn blue (This should take no more than 1 second) when it does let go and your backup should boot straight away

no need for the action replay/dvd region x or whatever disc you use for ur ps2 games

if this is the starchip then that will work

let me know

damn, nothing...the blue screen with all the boxes appears and that little intro sound...and then it switches to the screen where you can go to browser or system config etc.....it doesn't boot at all...

last idea, try tapping the power button to turn it on (With ur backup already in)

or

try what it states on this link

You mean i should open up my ps2 and do all those installation things??? and tapping the power button....i don't get that part actually....

Hmmm...however...i followed that psx backup thing on that link...the PSX backup did boot only nothing showed up...maybe the syphon3 backup is'nt right or something like that...ima try out other psx backups i got....what i did

eject, put psx backup in it...pressed reset for like 1 second for it to jump on standby mode {red light} and then i hold reset until the screen came up where i can pick browser and other stuff...i let go....i don't know if that's good...i heard a psx backup screen was supposed to show up...anyway the tray closed automaticly...i waited and it did boot but i got an black screen without anything.....i'm not getting the psx backup screen i'm supposed to get according to that link you gave me.
