Yes I have both gameshark and code breaker. But both are backups will they still work?

considering you'd be removing the bios wires and essentially using the chip as a swap chip instead of a direct boot chimp, while im not totally sure, i'm 99% positive it wouldnt work with a backup of a gameshark disc.

Azimuth adjustment.

Hi M8
Had same experience and located it to be the ground wire, try using either:
1) Thicker Wire
2) Alternative Ground Point

Make the ground wire as short as possible by positioning the M5 as close to the ground point as possible.
Hope this helps

The M5 is a fussy chip. Works perfectly in a good machine but will performs very poorly in weaker machines.

I have swapped the M5 out of 2 machines now & replaced it with the Smartchip. If your M5 doesnt work properly first time, fit a different chip.

It really is a good chip in a strong machine but, I cant help wondering how long it will last!

Try to isolate the (R) wire. You may have switched chips and had the same problem but sometimes a poor solder joint or 1 bad wire can cause the same problem. Try to remove ALL the wires and REDO the install. Seems drastic but it takes less time to rewire than it would take to trace down 1 bad wire or solder joint.
