Can't play PSX-Games on my modded PS2!! HELP

[tattmann]

Hi,
I don't know what I may have done wrong if anything, so let me post. I have a v7 ps2 with a xeno ps modchip (This modchip is supposed to autodetect and load ps1 or ps2). I have modded several ps2's over the past year, and I have just now tried to make some ps1 backups.

I bought silent hill 1, and resident evil off of ebay, and paid a pretty price too! I have tried several programs to make a backup of them. I have tried alcohol 120%, game cloner 1.25, nero, 5star game copy, as well as game cloner-newest version, and all copies I made either barely work, or not at all. The backups that do work take forever to load. (I got NO error messages when making any of the backups.)

The screen stays black for about 3 minutes, then pops up with the ps logo. IF it passes the ps logo, it loads and runs fine. I have (with res evil 1) issues with this game. I can get it to load and run only on very rare occasions. I am brainfried! I fought it all day today, trying different programs, and wound up with a stack of coasters! I got it to load, and played it for about an hour. I didn't have a ps1 mem card, so I shut it off. I restarted it about 10 minutes later, and it wouldn't load. I fought it all day trying and couldn't get it to load again. (My daughters ps2 with a Duo3 gt modchip does the same with these psx backups.)

My silent hill 1 coasters, well, I got 1 copy to load and it ran with choppy video. the other 5 or 6 I burned don't load. This ps2 will play ALL ps2 backups fine. The console plays originals fine, just not ps1 backups. Can anyone here please either tell me a foolproof copy program, or let me know if I overlooked something obvious? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mike.
