help on DUO

[earl_je]

need your help on my DUO chip on v4. loads original ps2 games correctly, loads original ps1 games only on ps1 mode, but doesnt load any backups at all! it only loaded a ps2 backup once on the 3rd time i tried and after that it doesnt load any backups. tried Nero on KHypermedia DVD-R as well as DVD Decrypter on Ritek G04.

tried both ps2 modes but it only starts to load, black screen, goes to the Browser menu for a split second then Red screen(insert ps2 disk)

checked and double checked my connections, im sure all are correct.. except a lot of criscrossing of the wires. most are extremely short though.

any ideas?

i just cleaned the lens as well as turn the cog 1 click counter clockwise, was able to boot the KHypermedia DVD once then was never able to do it again. now im really starting to get confused.. any help would do..

i would suspect your installation. Click HERE for a v4 duo install by me.

would the placement of the wires matter? i just tried to keep them as short as possible even if they were placed in a crisscross manner..

also, could it be the chip? although i dont think its defective since it was able to boot 3 times already(sadly 3 out of 20 tries) its somewhat of a hit-and-miss

iv tested all media, the result:
PS2 DVD-R - erratic, loads half of the time
PS2 CD-R - loads most of the time (sometimes go red screen)
PS2 original CD/DVD - loads perfectly
PS1 backup - doesnt load
PS1 original - loads only in PS1 boot mode


checked my connections again and they were all ok.. question, if all wires cross agains each other would it affect the loading performance?

I have had a similar problem. Id say its just the brand of media u are using. I have had good luck with:
DVD-R PRINCO
DVD+RW RITEK
CD-r TDK, MEMOREX

put more solder on your points and make sure the bios connections are really good.
