NOTE: This is with the disk assumed in the tray and the tray closed:

Playstation 1 games & DVD Movies

•Power up from STANDBY with RESET button held until the blue EJECT light comes on.
•Then release RESET and the disk will boot.

What bit are you stuck on ?

Were you by any chance playing a PS2 backup and then tried to play the PS1 backup....

You have to turn the PS2 "completely" off BEFORE you can change modes with your chip....

Maybe this is the problem?

Also, how are you backing up your games? Program etc....

Nope not playin a ps2 backup first

It was completely off

I use Roxio CD Copier for PSX games also I am trying to boot an old game Final Fantasy 7 so its not protected

The Roxio Cd Copier is most likely your problem.....

ALWAYS use Clone CD for cd based backups.... Throw Roxio in the trash.....

Jim - can you play PS2 CD-R backups?

01-12-2002, 12:59

Hey Jim... What type of CD Burner do you have.
(ie.. Brand, Model, etc...) and what brand cd-r's ar you using?

Yes it uses CDR cds thats what my ps2 copies are and they work. I dont know what type of cd burner I have because I ordered it from dell w/ my computer its a CDRW 24x. The copies would work with my old PSX before it broke so I dont think its that.
