MI won't load most PS1 games

**Dr_Slump** · 10-12-2006,08:52 AM

Hi.

I have my mod installed by a "professional" (can't help it with soldering!) on a v7 and it loads everything-PS2, but it seems that it doesn't boot most PS1 games. Most of them are originals of various regions, I have more than 80 titles and only about 20 of them can boot. Mostly I get an infinite black screen and sometimes the "Insert a PS2 or PS disc" message. Forcing the PSX/DVD mode didn't help at all.

Note: I just upgraded to 1.88 (from 1.7x) and the problem remains the same.

Any help?

you tried cleaning the laser?

The console is brand new, I bought it 3 days before the modding. And I've been searching for weeks to find a non-slim version.

weird. i've take it back to the installer then as that definately not right.

I called him right after I found out. He said that he has no experience with PS1 stuff and he is sure 100% that everything went right since the firmware got updated successfully and the PS2 games run correctly. I'm worried if I've been cheated for a MI copy. I saw the chip when he installed it and it was the green dot version, it looked like the right thing.
Any chance he forgot to solder a cable or something?

with any luck, he could've missed the SX cable or the point is flaky, might wanna do a check on that ...

try holding circle when you boot ps1 backups, if that does not work Id say the sx point is loose or not even there

this may not apply to you but have you tryed changing the antimod psx setting in ur config menue (O + triangle on boot)

how can he have no experience with psx stuff - after modding any console I always check ps2,psx, dvd, audio.

Boot from a cold boot, not from the browser. That solves most of the PSX booting problems though even sometimes it requires mutiple resets. I've got a buglist started for PSX games on the MI chip.
