Hi,
Total newbie at PS2, so please can someone help me!
I have just installed a DMS4 EZI Pro solderless modchip to my NTSC V7 PS2.
The PS2 is happy to boot as usual, and runs NTSC/UC games, but it seems as if the modchip is not there when I boot (but I think this might be right!) I was expecting a splash screen or something!
If I hold down Square, it says the chip is disabled, and if I hold down Start it goes to a memory card loader, but I am looking to install the ToxicOS flash upgrade so I cam play PAL games and I cannot figure out how to boot the CD I have burned, the image of which came from the Toxic website.
If I leave it in the tray and switch the PS2 on, it just goes to the red PS2 disc screen.
Any ideas how I get it going, apologies for most likely being dumb!
Cheers,
Paul

I should mention I have burned the CUE file in Nero from the Toxic zip files at both 8x and Max on a BASF and Unbranded blank CD and neither does anything.
I put the CD in the tray, switch on the system and it goes to the Sony screen, skips in the browser for a second, then onto the red screen!
What am I doing wrong???

Could be a faulty install. Those EZI setups are very delicate.

try burning it with Alcohol 120 (instead of Nero) on PS2 settings and lower speed than usual (4x?)

you need to get the burn to go in RAW mode, i guess it's possible by playing with Nero options too...

Just done that, no joy!
I have to say I have no wasted about 8 blank CD-R and this is really beginning to piss me off...
Is it possible I need to check the ribbon cable that goes to the eject mechanism pcb as I read somewhere this might be an issue (but cannot be bothered to dismantle the PS2 again unless really necessary!)
