Xenosaga Problem

**XOXJunkyXOX** · 05-01-2003,11:45 PM

i have the original of it and it wont boot on my V7...could it be b/c i have a magic2 installed? i heard that a magic2 wont boot up dvd9 games so, right now im putting a switch in it to disable the chip to see if that will work...i dont get it my ripped version of xenosaga works and every other game i have works 100% org or backup...and i have over 200 games

im really interested about playing this game

Here is the diagram i made for the Magic2 Switch....(the chip shown isn't mine, i have an orginal one)

It doesn't work because the Magic 2 and Magic 3 don't direct boot DVD9 media!!!

The 3.1 has about a 30% success rate at it.

Use a GS to boot the DVD9 game media.

I have booted a original Substance (JAP) with a JAP 37000 modded with Magic2 without problem... looks like if the original and the ps2 are in the same area, he will boot.
Try boot in ps1 mode...

That only works on media that is intended for your console region. PS1 mode only sends and recieves a signal throught he S/SCEX line. That's the only reason it works on your Magic 2. If you tried to boot the US game on your 37000, it will not work.

I boot MGS2 Substance (US version) on a v.4 PS2 with a M3 chip, without problem. With one press on reset only. I'm not sure if the PS2 is European or US, I bought it second hand. I'm not an expert when it come to all this, but it seems to work allright for me.

the orginal works on a magic2 mod, it just took a couple of tries but thanks for everyone's response

it works when you boot up the ps2 and wait for the browser then put the game in but dont hit the reset button

it can also be the laser, since the laser has to work 'hard' to read through the layers
