post magic 3.1 boot instructions please

Please post your successful boot instructions for the magic 3.1.every web site I got to have its own variation and trying them all comes up with very different results. Some say place ps2 game in tray and tap reset to close the tray and boot the game. Some want you to close the tray with the eject button and then tap reset to boot the game. This method works better on my v7 but still no way near 100% for ps1 some say place the game in the tray before you enter ps1 mode while others want you to be in ps1 mode first then put game in tray and tap reset or again close the tray first then tap reset. Some want you to enter standby between modes using the reset button and others say enter standby using the main power switch on the back. HELP!!!! I am so confused lol

What works best for me is to insert the disc, close the tray and press reset.

For PS2, I insert the disc, put the machine in standby, press and hold reset until the blue light (or just slightly after) comes on.

Well, actually, if you press the reset button until the blue light come you are booting in PSX mode...

I have a v4 gap with magic 3.1 all i do is put in the tray and close it. and boots of the browser thats if i use good quality media. if i use the cheap stuff i have to press reset once

just put it in and play, that what i do anyway
