Ok I installed the messiah 2 pro chip that I got from charlie.

This is my first install. Everything looks good. I can't see any bridging or splattering of solder. I checked all the wires again to make sure that they were attached in the right spot.

Here's what happens : The ps2 plays all original ps2 games and ps1 games. It will even play a back up dvd movie. But it will not play a ps1 or ps2 back up. It always goes to the screen that says please insert a ps1 or ps2 formatted game. "The red screen".

It almost seems like it doesn't even know the messiah chip is there.

Anybody have any ideas of what could be wrong? THANKS!!
