wires for DVD copy's with NDV modchip

[Omegal]

Hello,

I would like to know what they are the wire which are used to boot DVD copy's on NDV code version "v21f2_50M".
Because I have seen several diagrams and i don't know where is the problem.
All sorts of games boot without DVD copy's.
I have installed a Magic3.1 original and an ice modchip with nvd code version "v21f2_50M".

I post diagram that i have used

thank you in advance for your answers.

PS:sorry for my english

sorry but i have forgotten to say thaht it is a V4 gap version of the PS2

I'll describe how to connect the Magic3 chip for use with the NDV code.

Magic3 pin                   |   Board points
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
   W                         |   RST (with the resistor in series)
   A                         |   Z
   B                         |   B
   C                         |   no connection
   D                         |   no connection
   RST                       |   no connection
   S                         |   S
   Z                         |   A
   R                         |   R
   G                         |   no connection
   H                         |   no connection
   I                         |   I
   M, N, O, P, Q, R, T, V    |   M, N, O, P, Q, R, T, V

Make sure that you remove the SMD resistor from the pin RST of the Magic3 and put it on the W pin of the chip.

The code works very well on the v4 version.

thanks for your answer, that could help me if i put the NDV's program on the magic3.
But I have installed two modchip, one is a homebrew with NVD's program on a SX28DIP, and the other one, a magic3 original (with the red PCB's).
Two modchips were installed on two PS2 V4 gap different, and they don't boot films and DVD copy's (i have used a DVD-R verbatim) but DVDrip and ps1 copy's boot.
I have seen in other post that it could be the lens because is a version 400b.

What i can do to resolv this problem?

Sorry I didn't pay enough attention and I thought that you used the Magic3.1 reprogrammed with NDV code.

Did the Playstations play any DVD movie before the modification ?
If you put in an original DVD game or a pressed DVD movie, do they start?

I think you know that in order to watch DVD movies you have to disable the chip by starting the console with a long reset.

Check the lens coils electrical resistance with an ohmmeter. It should be around 5 ohms for both coils.

The v4 version is rather old and if they were used since they were bought they may have burned laser diodes on the DVD side. You could lower the value of the DVD potentiometer and try to realign the laser using the white cog. Remember to mark the original position of the white cog and write down the initial resistance of the DVD pot.

Also make sure to set the date from the menu. Because you have removed the battery, the clock doesn't work and this has some influence on the DVD boot rate. Don't ask me why, it just does.

Also, if you have a laser from a working console, put that in the v4 and see if they boot. If they do, you have a good chip installation and you have to worry only about the lasers.

hello,

I have found a solution, i have tried to boot a DVD copy with DVD region X. All DVDs boot at fisrt time. It's the only solution that i have found.
I work to find another solution.

Hello, this method works with the original magic3.1 with red PCB's. But with the NVD modchip's on a homebrew, it doesn't work.
I have decided to reprogram my SX28 with another hex, i have tried 'ice0.91f2' with this 'define.inc'

I have modified this code for a V4 GAP.
But i still have the same problem.
Originals dvd and copys dvd PS2 games don't work.
But Ps2 dvdrip, Ps1 original, Ps1 copys work.

I don't think it is my lens because without modchip, DVD originals Ps2 work.

Thank you in advance for helping me.

Listen how many 'clicks' the laser makes before it recognizes the DVD. If there are more than two, it won't boot, even if it is an original when you have a chip like magic3.1, ICE or NDV installed.

This is because the chip can't tolerate more than two laser clicks.

If you turn the chip off (ICE and NDV), the original DVDs will boot. The Playstation can load games even if the laser makes multiple clicks before recognizing them. Also other chips (like Messiah2) can tolerate multiple laser clicks.

The sollutions would be one of the following:
1. Put a Messiah chip in
2. Change the laser with a better one
3. Adjust the laser (azimuth, white cog and DVD potentiometer)
