Desperately need help with ###ne...

[TatR]

I've tried everything I can think of but can't get my ###ne to read my backups...I've been reading a lot in these forums trying to figure out what's wrong with my ###ne but can't figure it out, so I'm hoping someone may have an answer for me. Here's the story...

I puchased a brand new ###ne and bought a ModChip for it and installed it myself so I could backup my PSX games. I had an AOpen 4x4x20 burner to burn the PSX copies with. I started burning copies with CDRWin4.0beta and Nero5 and searched the net for the settings to be used in those programs. I've burnt about 20 copies with only 2 of the games working on my machine. The 2 games that work boot every time I put them in; the other 18 will not boot at all. I get a screen that says" Please insert Playstation format disc" I've tried to copy the same games again that do work in my machine but I can't get them to work. I tried with 4 different brands of cdr's and the ones that are working are just cheapy "GAT" cdr's. Although, all the 'coasters' I've made I gave to a friend to try on his older model Playstation Machine with a ModChip in it and they all worked on his. So I figured it was my burner not burning good so I just bought a brand new Plextor 12/10/32A and the first disk I copied worked. I've tried another 4 more with no success. But these 4 do work on my friend's older PS machine. I've searched the groups for this problem but couldn't find an answer. I don't believe it's the ModChip because it always works with the 3 games I have copied; but will not work with different copies of the same 3 games copied on the same cdr media. I'm totally frustrated and at a my witts end. I'm hoping someone may have come across this problem before or can give me a hand to identify the problem and provide me with a way to fix it. Thanks in advance,

Aaron R

From what you have said i'd say that there is no trouble with the burning process as all the backups work fine on your friends machine.

So the only thing that is left is to double ##### the solder joints to the psx motherboard, sounds like the connections are in the correct place but there could be a possible dry joint.

Also ##### to see if the laser assembly and cable connections are seated properly.

Have you tried resetting the machine after its initial boot failier, this sometimes works.

Hope you get it sorted.

I seem to recall seeing earlier - either on this forum or elsewhere - someone else having similar probs - One piece of advise offered was to ensure that you have fastened up the casing screws tightly enough as even a small amount of play can bu**er up a modchip installation. No experience of this myself but u never know.......
