Red Screen

Hi all,

I have a V9 with matrix installed. I am happy with the chip as it boot flawlessly most of my backups except few latest games. Well im getting the red screen saying "please insert a playstation or playstation 2 disk format" (same as the other thread). The originals work just fine but to my surprise the backup booted straight to the red screen. I have no problem with this as long as the originals are working but im most surprise to found out that the backup worked just fine on my friends ps2 with an el-cheapo modchip. i thought matrix was so advanced that it could load just about anything furthermore the firmware upgrade facility was just fantastic and got itself defeated by a clone hk chip. what gives?? i've reported this to luke infinitymod and awaiting his response. fyi ive upgraded to 1.54 but still got the red screen. the games that gave me the problems are
1. Haunting Ground (PAL)
2. Pro Evo Soccer (PAL)
3. Ultimate Spidey (US)
4. The Suffering (US)

Anyone encountered the same problem?

regards

maybe a dvd wire got loose, hence it dosent boot backups no more?
Since its a v9 the dvd points are pain in ass if u ask me. worst model and can easy be loose if not connected properly.

yeah check the install wires..

Sounds to me like it might be a poor laser, or a loose wire like previously stated. What leads me to believe its not a wire that has come loose is that you state you get the RSOD with the original as well. Even if a wire has come loose that patches the DVD/CD with an original it wont matter. However with a weak laser you could possibly get the RSOD if its taking forever for your laser to read the data and the PS2 is taking a long time to boot up. What version is your PS2 by the way? Getting an RSOD with a Mi is rare even with a poor laser especially with an original. This kind of thing usually happens with low end chips. How positive are you that you have an true MI?

hmm i've those games and work nice with 1.54 frimware ..

1. Haunting Ground (PAL / US)
4. The Suffering (US)

for CB2V9.1+ need waiting to new firmware...

Yeah, those games should work perfectly. Boot holding Circle + Triangle and change your mode to NTSC/PAL as necessary and enable Y fix-> auto and they should boot. If these are your only games causing problems I would check the backup on another system and your DVD points (Back of the mainboard - those tiny lil bastards) for a loose wire. If your sure they are making a good connection hot glue them into place so they can't cause you any more grief.

Also you did apply the romeo mod too right? Pin 17(??) from the LA chip to +5V ( I think, not positive on pin #)

I think he stated that he already did that and it was working on the other system.
