Booting PSX w/ messiah 2 pro (yes i read the sticky)
 

I cant get it to work. the directions say to have the game in the tray while in standby mode (which is when the red light is on i assume), then hold resest until the blue eject light comes on. well when i do that it just restarts the ps2 and goes back to the browser where it shows a memory card and a disc saying its a ps2 disc. every other disc type works fine except ps1 games. anyone know what the problem is :(

Try holding reset for a second or two longer.

nothing. doesn't matter if i hold it until it comes on, or for 2 more seconds, 5, 10 whatever, doesn't do anything but load and go to that browser screen.

Have you tried more than one game? Open up your PS2 and see if anything looks out of the ordinary too. Might have a loose wire.

ur chip might be bad r the cdrs 650mb or 700mb and u may try burning at a slower speed do u have any other way of trying say like a ps1 with a mod or boot disk u could test the games on to see if they work

ill keep tinkering....the discs are 700mb, and yes the discs work with my ps1 and worked with my no solder mod chip as well

- could u play dvd movies?
- how about psx originals with the chip on and off?
- remember to only hold the reset button untill the blue eject light turns on, if you hold it too long you will turn the chip off
- try removing the memory card from the memory slot on the ps2

- could u play dvd movies? --originals yes, dont have any burned ones

- how about psx originals with the chip on and off? --no with on and off (although i cant tell if its on or off, just going by seconds reset is held)

- remember to only hold the reset button untill the blue eject light turns on, if you hold it too long you will turn the chip off -- done it

- try removing the memory card from the memory slot on the ps2 --tried that , didnt work

then maybe the a wire did come loose (maybe SCEX)

Mmm, clone methinks.

i discovered holdin O while booting loads up ps1 originals and most backups. the one i was trying still wont load though, which is the IMBNES nes emulator for psx. others work. oh well guess its not a big deal since i can play that on my ps1 anyway.

Then you have a DMS3 not a Messiah2 pro

Sounds like you have a DMS3 then cause you hold O to boot psx with it.

well i sent my ps2 to modchipguy.com with an order for a messiah 2 pro. got it back today. it boots everything automatically except ps1 games. so you guys think its a dms3? if so im not complaining lol

Try a dvd movie. You should have to hold square to get it to boot.
