Magic 2 Question!

[breezy]

hi guys, i have a ps2 v.7 with a magic2 installed using sonydru500a and verbatim dvd-r's nero and record now max. i have made backups of all my games and the dvd-r backups work but most of the time i have to reset several times before it would finally load. is there any way to make it load better? this v.7 is brand new. i would just like some pointers please! is the ground not big/short enough, laser adjustment?

thanks

It sounds like you mite just have a shoddy install. Did the person who did the install give you instructions on how to use it? If not say so and I'll post them for you.

thanks for the reply. i installed it myself so any advise would be appreciated!

here is the manual


It is assumed that your machine is in the "Off" mode

PS2 games

Press EJECT button to switch on your machine.(tray will come out)
Insert PS2 game in tray, then press/tap the RESET button once.
Tray will close by itself, PS2 reboots and the game will load.

DVD movies

Press EJECT button to switch on your machine.(tray will come out)
Once the browser/system config screen shows. Select and go into browser.
Insert DVD movie in tray, then press EJECT button to close tray.
If the disc is not detected within 3-5 seconds. Press EJECT button to open tray. Once the tray opens fully, press EJECT button again to close tray. The disc should be recognise at least by the second time.

PSX games

Make sure disc (game) is in machine, then power off machine
Now hold the RESET button to start up your machine. Only release the RESET button once you see the first power (3-5 seconds) on screen on your TV.
Your PSX game should now boot (If it shows the PSX game as an audio cd. This means that you didn't hold the RESET button long enough. So repeat PSX loading instructions but hold the RESET button longer this time round when booting the machine)

I hope this is of help to you. I'm a professional installer and I print this out and give it to all my costumers when I do an install.

i have all that info. and everything works great. its just that it takes the boot procedure 5 to 10 times then it loads. once it starts loading i never have a single problem. its just the initial start.

Try Traxdata DVD-R. Some v7s have shite lasers and we've solved a similar problem twice with this answer.

I live in the us is there a place i could get these and try to see if it solves my problem?

Try Ritek. They use the same dye as Traxdata and are available in the US, unlike Traxdata.
