I have GS version 1.0 and cant boot EA sports backups. When I try the method the PS2 makes a crashing sound as soon as I release the reset button.

it's easy. place gameshark or Action reply cd1 and close the tray. shut down the ps2. Start up teh ps2 but still hold the reset button ( red light button ). Untill the cd loaded you release the reset button and the tray will open. After 4 sec's the tray closes automaticly. So swap disc in 4 sec sec's. Now the normal way and play the game.

if you have the NEO2 chip installed you need gameshark version 1.3...also if your having problems with the tray not responding to the E/A boot method ....you proberbly have a bad connection or wrong connection with pin 5 and 6 so i would get ver 1.3 first then check out pin 5 and 6 these two connections are what sends a signal to the PS2 tray to make it open then shut automaticaly in 4 seconds.........

Hey guys, If your talking about playing the ea sports games here in the U.S. you will have to apply the universal Napalm patch into the bin file before you burn your backup onto cd-r media....thats how I get all my EA titles working and you do have to bootup with the GS2 disk by holding down the power button and swaping in the 4 second delay.....If you want the patcher email me and I'll send it to you zipped. I would give you the link to download it; but lets just say sony and EA is busting sites that have had the patcher.........Lates....

oh ya, I have GS2 ver 1.0 and neo2 and I have no problems booting with that crazy crashing and the cd tray not openning...it sounds like you have a bad connection like tomcat says....... should open her back up again and check all your solder points again.....

Which version of Ps2 do you have? I rechecked everything and it's all right all other backups play fine The only thing I know is I have version 2 PS2 and the place where I bought mine on there instructions for version one and two r different where the red wire goes. Check it out please.
www.playstationmodchip.com/install.html look at version 1 and version 2 and the red wire.

yeah,

I looked at playstationmod.coms diagrams and both wiring instructions for version 1 and 2 are just about the same except for where to place the number eight (ground/black)....if you wired it up just like it is in either diagrams then you shouldn't have any problems especially if your already using normal clonecd backups of your ps2 games.....Even with just the GS2 disk in your tray and holding down the power button from initial power up you get that crazy crashing sound and nothing else happens....????

I failed to mention the black wire cause it has to go there no doubrt about it.But the red wire that goes to the top ?transistor? version1. Then on version 2 the red wire goes to the bottom ?transistor? My board has both transistors but only one of those ground spots which it showed on version 2 being at the bottom where the red wire was.So that where i hooked my red wire up at the bottom. I guess I'll have to hope that GS will send me version 1.3? I read they was out of them. that would be bad if they replace it with 1.4.
