Cant Boot FFX INternational Original on V4 US PS2 w/Magic 2
 

When I try to boot, it goes to the screen where u can select browser, but I can hear actviity and cant select anything. After about 15-20 sec, those red cubes come up and it says "Please Insert a PS2 disc". CDR copies work fine, Ps2 Originals and DVD Games and movies work fine. Tried with the alternate boot procedure, but still no luck. Any help greatly appreciated.

Try holding reset for about 5 seconds while booting. Doubt it will work but it is worth a shot.

Yeah, thats what I meant when I tried the "alternate boot method". No luck.
