I have a V7 fat ps2 with a flip top and freemcboot installed, and I am having trouble running Ps1 backups on it. I thought that I would just have to do a browser swap or go into the Psx Launcher, but I found out that for Ps2 versions 8 and under, you need a boot disc such as Breaker Pro, Gameshark, or Action Replay.
I burned two games with Alcohol 120 at 4x write speed (lowest it will go.) Should I burn at a faster speed?
Well, I have an Action Replay Psx Disc that came with the Ps2 version of Action Replay, but I can't seem to get it to work. After I press X after swapping the disc the game just freezes at the Playstation Logo. Any idea of what I should do? Below are some screencaps of the Action Replay screens and the disc. Also, the Action Replay disc has a blue bottom, not black, if it matters.
The AR disc in the submitted image is a PS2CD not a PSX CD (completely different formats). Pretty sure the only way to play PSX backups on v8 and lower is with a chip or retail boot disc like those you mentioned. In other words, no homebrew method. I've tried many different options on my v7, and haven't got anything to work.
