[incline]

A million thankyous to anyone who can shed any light onto that which has left me in darkness.

A listing of my bits and pieces:

+ PAL PS2 ver 3 (I think)
<10 screws about the base, no electrical hazard logo there either, opens up pretty easily>

+ AR2 ver 2 with mem card dongle attachment

+ One "backyard job" non-descript external modchip (which I was foolish enough to buy)
<I've soldered the one wire needed for it to work>

+ NTSC backup of Devil May Cry

For my "weird" modchip to (supposably) work I need to do the following:

To play PSX backups, after placing the game into the drive and closing the tray, the machine then needs to be reset 3 times for the game to boot.

To play PS2 backups, after placing the AR2 disc into the drive and closing the tray, the machine then needs to be reset twice (2x), start game without cheats, swap discs,... etc.

I can boot PSX games using the aforementioned method, but cannot boot my PS2 backup.

Therefore;

Is it my mod?

Is it my AR2 version?

Am I doing something wrong?

Does anyone know what type of mod I have?


Thanks for reading my problem.
