ok heres whats new with my magic 3.1 v5 install. i made sure all the soldering connections were good. my ps2 plays OG ps2 games and psx backups, i cant get ps2 backups to boot i dont think this is a soldering problem seeing that i can play psx backups right? is this a media or perhaps a boot problem?

More than likely a media problem. What are you for media and backup software?

well my ps2 cd based games are burned on memorex, sony and fuji and they all worked fine before when i had my neo for my dvd based games i have a game burned on a verbatim dvd+rw maybe i should just burn it on a single use only i dont know if that makes a differance

CD-RW and DVD-RW are no good. I have heard of them working for some people but it is rare.

im using cd-r but its weird because it boots up psx original and copy and ps2 originals but i cant get the copys to load it goes right to the red screen i put the copy in turn the system off so its on standby and hit reset.

You said the games worked before with your NEO..... Are they by any chance patched?

Try re-burning your PS2 cd based game (original) with Clone CD and see if it will boot then....

yeah these copies worked with my neo none of them are patched and i reburned my copy of ico on a sony cd-r and it wont load.

Did you re-burn your "Original" game or did you try and re-burn the backup?

Also, what program did you use?

sublime90 · #11 17-03-2003, 17:22

i made a copy of the copy for ico but for "the thing" it was a direct copy from the OG and i use nero. is there a differance if use nero or cd copy or cdrwin?

I would suggest trying Recordnow. there is another thread going on right now with a guy with a similar problem who solved it by going to recordnow.

Since "The Thing" is a cd based game, try using Clone CD to back it up......

sublime90 · #14 17-03-2003, 20:02

ok i'll give recordnow and clone cd a shot and let ya know what happens
