PStwo w/ infinity doesn't boot ps1 games...

[kleath]

I have a PStwo that boots PS2 games, both DVDR and CDR, but Ive tried PSOne games and cant get them to work. I've used both Sony and Verbatim CD-R to test, and neither work. Is it just a media issue possibly? My chip is a matrix infinity flashed to 1.5.

You must check SX point for psx game....

Im sorry what do you mean? Are you talking like a spot on the board or something, or a software option? I didnt mod it myself someone else did it...

[cakcetin]

Yes I talking about mainboard.Not about software.If you don't know anything about solder a wire please don't open pstwo.
Regards.

Wasnt planning on it, too scared

So if I was to have this "repaired" by a modder, would it be a simple thing or difficult? Thanks for all your help to this point!

Easy as only the scex wire has to be checked. If your machine boots ps2 cd-r based games then it should boot psx games aswell, it is not a media related problem then.

Would that problem prevent retail PS1 games from working also?

I doubt, except if the SCEX line is damaged in any way. (for example if the installer damaged the capacitor or the leg of the CDVD controller)

hmm thats odd, cause I just tried an original psone game and it gave me red screen

disable the chip, and see if an original ps1 game boots (hold start button while turning the system on, then hit reset once after seeing the 'disabled' screen)
