PSX newbie help please

OK...here's the deal. I have seen stuff about the PSX games over the years but have never paid much attention to it. However, my son just picked up an old Playstation (SCPH9001) and I figured what the heck and decided to see if I could burn some games for it.

First, I ordered a "mod chip" (OK to discuss modchips here?) and had a buddy install it.

Then I grabbed a couple of bin/cue's and burned them with Nero. The result was a message (error) stating "Install Playstation CD" on the screen. So...I did a little reading and found numerous messages re: burning at a slower speed (1x) and gave that a try. Now, when I put THAT cd in the player (same bin/cue format now burned at 1x) the "cd player" function pops up on the screen.

So here's my dilemma: I have no problem reading / researching more info about all of this stuff on my own but...I need to first off, eliminate the possibility that the mod-chip installation / wiring / soldering is messed up somehow.

So here's the question: Due to the fact that I was able to burn a cd, install it in the player and get a "cd player" menu to pop up (not that I know what hell to do at that point), does that imply that the mod-chip is functioning properly ?

Any advice much appreciated...thanks.
