whats goin on here...
 

ok heres whats new with my magic 3.1 v5 install. i made sure all the soldering connections were good. my ps2 plays OG ps2 games and psx backups, i cant get ps2 backups to boot i dont think this is a soldering problem seeing that i can play psx backups right? is this a media or perhaps a boot problem?

sublime

More than likely a media problem. What are you for media and backup software?

well my ps2 cd based games are burned on memorex, sony and fuji and they all worked fine before when i had my neo for my dvd based games i have a game burned on a verbatim dvd+rw maybe i should just burn it on a single use only i dont know if that makes a differance

sublime

CD-RW and DVD-RW are no good. I have heard of them working for some people but it is rare.

im using cd-r but its weird because it boots up psx original and copy and ps2 originals but i cant get the copys to load it goes right to the red screen i put the copy in turn the system off so its on standby and hit reset.

sublime

none of this magic 3 S**T u need a messiah 2 pro.........olus pay a little for installation it saves time and extra money.......

oh verbatim media rocks............but neva use DVD-RW or CD-RW
ok

You said the games worked before with your NEO..... Are they by any chance patched?

Try re-burning your PS2 cd based game (original) with Clone CD and see if it will boot then....

im using cd-r but its weird because it boots up psx original and copy and ps2 originals but i cant get the copys to load it goes right to the red screen i put the copy in turn the system off so its on standby and hit reset.

yeah these copies worked with my neo none of them are patched and i reburned my copy of ico on a sony cd-r and it wont load.

sublime

Did you re-burn your "Original" game or did you try and re-burn the backup?

Also, what program did you use?

i made a copy of the copy for ico but for "the thing" it was a direct copy from the OG and i use nero. is there a differance if use nero or cd copy or cdrwin?

sublime

I would suggest trying Recordnow. there is another thread going on right now with a guy with a similar problem who solved it by going to recordnow.

Since "The Thing" is a cd based game, try using Clone CD to back it up......

ok i'll give recordnow and clone cd a shot and let ya know what happens

sublime

ok i made copies on recordnow max and clone cd and nero still wont load my ps2 backups, keep getting red screen
