hm.. thats pretty interesting.. are these silver cd's like home made, or like bootlegged one's? do they have a logo or any kind of artwork on the disc? you could try burning a disc and seeing if the playstation can read it thru the cd player. one more thing you can try, is buying music
cd-r's.. they say its only for music purposes, but its really not.. they are just made so they can be read by most/all cd players.. they will work for data purposes too.. do your cd-r copies work in your friends playstation?

let me know. this is pretty interesting.

Can you play audio cds that you've burned on cdr at your playstation ? If so, then I assume that there is no modchip installed inside this psx. Btw, I never heard that "all psx" comes with an installed modchip, because a modchip is a pirate product and using copies is illegal, if you don't own the original.

Anyway, have a look at: http://www.cdrom-guide.com/ubb/Forum19/HTML/017810.html , this might help you too.

ps. the modchip isn't responsible for the color of cds recognized properly by the build in reading unit, it's the laser-unit and it's adjustment.

I tried some working homemade backups and they wont start it just takes me to "insert a psx game disk"screen and it plays most originals some times I have to reset a couple of times it reads pirate cds easier (oh and in mexico the cops dont care about pirate shit they buy it to and the games cost $2.00 bucks each.)is there like something I can change to the lenz or somethin or should I just take it apart and see wuts in it?
