more problems
 

ok i installed my messiah 2 when i power on i get loud screaching noises and the games have no sound at all. and the other problem is it plays psx originals and backups, ps2 originals but still the red death screen for my ps2 backups what the hell

Which PS2 backups won't work ... CD, DVD, or both ?

In my installing experience, the problems almost always have to do with the BIOS. I take a razor and lightly scrape between the BIOS legs and between all the soldered pads when I'm done. Solder bridges are easy to miss with the naked eye.

it wont direct boot ps2 cd and dvd backups i also used a razor blade to make sure and my soldering job was pretty good when i had my magic installed it had the same problem it wouldnt direct boot any ps2 backup but worked using game shark 2. im still not sure why it works that way

Did your magic have that nasty clip that goes over the bios? If so that was probably the source of the problem. When the clip was pushed on it probably created a little splinter of solder that got back behind the bios legs. Use some desoldering braid and clean up as much solder as humanly possible off the bios, then resolder your wires.

no i didnt put any clips on anything i just soldered the correct wires where they were suppose to go. on another forum someone advised i use the alt CLK point and see what happens from there so im gonna try that out see if i get anything new

yeah i have a US version 5 ps2

So you can boot PS2 backups with Gameshark 2 ?

If so, then wires A-I are OK, and the BIOS is the problem (according to the Messiah 2 install guide).

thats correct, the ps2 backups did indeed boot using gameshark but didnt work direct boot. the bios is a bitch sometimes its lookin pretty roughed up now i thought it was really good connections but i guess not...guess i gotta keep tryin till it works
