Format Disc for PS2
 

I got the ps2 working now thanks Bg. I put in a ps2 games and it reads it as NO DATA its asking me for my format disk, I never got the instructions on how to play the games. I thought i would have gotten it but didnt. I thought you dont have to use a format disc of any sort since its a messiah modchip. What do i need to do to play the games when it says format disc needed? thanks

To boot a PS2 original import or backup import (which is what your usa games would be since you are playing on a PAL PS2):
Turn on PS2..Press eject...Put in game....Press eject to close tray.... Press reset once...The game will boot...
To boot a PS1 original or backup import: Follow the above procedure EXCEPT instead of pressing reset once....Press it quickly TWICE..... The games will boot...

I think he needs to clean his lens or repair something that happened in transit.

What happens with an original PAL game disk?

Charlie_PS2......He e-mailed back and said the boot procedure took care of the problem.....Since he didn't know how to boot the games it gave him the message.....BUT ALL IS WELL NOW.....He is extremely happy with the PS2 he got from you.....:D

I heard from BG i need a converter to play the pal games in color since they are imports do you sell converters to make ntsc - pal? Cuz if you do i would be intersted in purchasing one with my next ps2 I order depending on the price thanks.
