Problem with Infinity chip

[punx777]

put the controller in!


thats when you turn it on it will take 15 sec w/o controller, with the firmware update you can go in to the chip options and change that

Correct, without the controller in port one the infinity will wait up to 15 seconds before the unit will turn on. It does this because its waiting for possable commands from the controller on how to boot, because as you know you can boot the PS2 into different modes by holding certain buttons.

Also to boot the flash upgrade if your MI is a homebrew you hold RESET until you see the blue light on the eject button, not holf the eject button its self

Also if its haveing a hard time even after you do it the right way this could be because the crappy laser in your V4 simply cant read it. You may need to adjust your laser. This is of course assuming your install is correct.

EDIT: AALLSSOO!!! why in the hell are you trying to get it to boot a CDRW! V5 and latter console will boot CDRW but struggle at that in most cases. Using CDRW's in a V4 is just a waist. Use a good quality CD-R.

Well......at the risk of bein an old woman this rule goes for any version ps2. No CD-RW or DVD-RW/+RW as it will nail ur laser. I know some will play them.......but for HOW LONG!!!
