Hi all. Having a problem with my PS2 and I'm hoping someone out there can help. I have a slimline ps2 modded with the Matrix Infinity chip, v1.45. This machine plays all dvd's, dual layers, and cd-r's fine. The problem seems to be that I can not boot anything that is ps1. I have tried originals, copies, and imports and it chokes on all of them.

Sometimes I get the red screen of death saying to insert a ps2 disc, and sometimes it will take me in to a screen where it thinks the ps1 disc is an audio cd. I know theses ps1 games are working copies because they boot up fine on my old modded psx.

I looked at the instructions for the Matrix chip and I thought it said to hold O (Circle) while booting to force PS1 mode, and I've tried also with no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi jackichad U could try downloading CDloader off the net, burn it to CDr & see if this works. It will work with PS2 CDr's havent tried PS1.

Isn't CDLoader supposed to be used in conjunction with Action Replay? I don't have that since I have a modded box (Matrix Infinity chip). Or do you still think it would be worth a shot to try booting with the CD Loader?

Thanks!
