Now don't quote me if I'm wrong, because there's a few magic chips and I'm not sure which one you have... but this is the PROBABLY the one at a guess.
Doesn't seem to be a DEV1 mode, which means you are stuck with using CD/DVD to boot :(
1) Let me get back to you on that, have to dig out the link for it
2) Get HDLoader 0.8a from: http://www.sksapps.com/index.php?page=hd.html
Thx Dan...
I've tried burning it on CD and DVD , both disks give me either non PS2 disk error (Red screen) or PS2 disk icon with X to run and O to go back and it stays there...
Wierd thing , I just burnt Tekken tag on cd and Naruto on DVD and both SOMETIMES boot...
so why HDLoader NEVER boots while they SOMETIMES manage to ?
also , Do I need HDAdvance ?
Btw , I tried PS1 PAL game (original) and never managed to boot it on the NTSC system :-(
