PS2 Help?
Hi,
I just got a modded PS2 recently (by way of a friend), so unfortunately I have no idea what chip's inside. I just know it (supposedly) boots directly PS2 discs, and needs a reset and hold power for 2-3 seconds for PSX and DVDs. Snag is that it boots PS2 discs (HK DVDs, CDs, CD-R backups) perfectly, but when i try the reset and hold boot for PSX (CD-R backup, HK silvers), i hear the sound u usually hear from an actual PSX at a black screen, then the console seems to hang indefinitely there. Also, for DVDs (original cross-region) i get the error message that says that i have the wrong region. Now obviously there's something screwy when i use the reset and hold boot, i just have no idea what. it probably isnt the chip though, i've seen (although just once, elusively) the console boot up a CD-PSX R backup. I'm not really in a position to take the console back to the vendor, so i was hoping some of you gurus have some advice for me. I'm not too averse to opening up the console, just as long as i know what i should be looking out for. So somebody, anybody with an idea, please help! Sorry for the lengthy read and TIA

Try this:
NOTE: This is with the disk assumed in the tray and the tray closed: Playstation 2 Games • Power up normally from STANDBY with RESET button. A single tap is required. Playstation 1 games & DVD Movies • Power up from STANDBY with RESET button held until the blue EJECT light comes on; then release RESET and the disk will boot. You can also try this for you ps1 & movies.... PS1 Backups • Insert game and close tray • Press reset twice DVD Films • Insert game and close tray • Press reset twice Also, the error you get with a cross-region dvd (i'm assuming that its a DVD movie)..... Most mod chips will not let you play out of region movies....

Hi BG,
thanx for the quick response!  unfortunately neither boot method seems to work for PSX discs still, sigh... and i had been under the impression that mods would remove region protection, but i guess not... that's irritating coz i've got a 2.13A dvd driver version for which nobody seems to have the dvdregionx codes. dang.

anyway i had a shot of dismantling my ps2 and trying to identify my chip, so the closest match i found is the "bluechip vx" also known as multiblue. matches a pin diagram i found at http://www.eurasia.nu/shop/product_i...roducts_id=226
almost exactly except D+ and G are swapped. the damn thing still refuses to boot psx backups. any ideas? thanx
