boot disk's, patches, mod chip's......help help..!!!

[spooky]

The PSX1 does not have a multi region bios like the original PSX so there is a need for the boot disk to play any imports if you have installed on of the earlier chips for the PSX1.

The newer "all in one" mod chips for the PSX1 do away with the need to use the boot disk for imports.

You could try and backup the game and add an NTSC/PAL convertion patch, the backup should then boot.
