I boot the ps2 and get nothing, just the regular boot screen.If I try insert the flash disk I get the Red screen..Is there a way to tell if the chip is working..I installed it on a V7 PS2

[skit3202]

if u put a original game in , it will act like it starts but then it goes back to the broswer screen (like where ur memory card is at or game) , thats u put firmware disk in and flash it , don't forget bootmanager , its in the firmware disk .

Ok got it flashed and working but now i can't diable it for online play...it says to reset it 6 times but its not working

[skit3202]

try to reset 7 times and if that dont work i really dont know sorry

[chalosf]

Thanks I got it (i have to do it a couple of times to disable it and the only way to know is to try a copy of a game)...Last time I get CC chip, thats pretty dumb that you have to hit reset 6 times, couldn't they do like other chips and just hold a button...

after i disable the chip it says put a ps2 formatted game in, when i do this the game will not boot it just stays on the red screen .what is going wrong?

Don't disable your chip.
Simply press x on Boot Disc in the BM and then choose the "Sleep Mode" or the "Minimal Boot Mode".
With the hacked firmware19 you can even play backups online!

Look here: www.crystal-ps2.de
In the Download section under firmware.
The archiv contains bin/cue files. Just burn to CD with your favorite burn program.
