PS1 Backups on PS2

[lizardking]

Can somebody please tell me if its possible to play backups of Playstation 1 games on a PS2 modded with neo 2.2 and using AR2 v.1.92. All my backups used to work fine on my playstation, but none work on my PS2. Thanks for any help

check your boot method see stickys above

From BG's sticky:

Booting Playstation 1 backups & Playstation 2 originals

Wouldn't it be great if all backups booted like this [Messiah 2 does!] !

• Power off the PS2 for 5 seconds
• Boot as normal - no special method

How to boot Playstation 1 originals

NOTE: This technique simply deactivates the chip

• Insert your PSX original
• Power off the PS2 for 5 seconds
• Press reset for 1 second (Until blue light comes on) then let go
• Game will now boot as normal - the chip is deactivated

How to boot PSX imports

• Insert your PSX original
• Power off the PS2 for 5 seconds
• Turn on the machine
• Press eject just before the PSX LOGO SCREEN
• Swap with your PSX import backup
• Press eject to close the tray
• The game will now load

Thanks you guys for answering. But none of the suggestions work, the only information I can supply you with is the model number which is : SCPH 30003.

I have read somewhere that some of the boot methods mentioned wont work on a version 4 board, but I dont know if thats the board I have or not.

Anyway thanks for trying. Oh, and I know for certain that the modchip works

If your PS2 is modded with a neo 2.2 (correctly installed) all you need to do to play PSX backups is insert the backup, close the tray and press reset once. You dont need a AR2, GS2 or any kind of swap trick to play the backup.

[lizardking]

Nope, Tried that the screen just goes black, nothing else

It could be a number of things, media, dirty laser, backup, chip not installed correctly. I have a old v2 PS2 with a neo 2.2 modchip. The boot method posted is correct.

If the mod-chip wasnt installed correctly, then Im assuming that PS2 backups wouldnt work also, but they do, the media ranges from TDK to Verbatim, and I just cleaned the lens, so that cant be it... Oh well thanks anyway
