I have a modified PS2 slim, it sees PS1 discs, but only home region. Imports cannot be read, a message about this appears in the browser. When I launch a cd-r backup that the PS2 can read, it spins up the disk and the screen goes black, but nothing else happens. I don't know what chip is installed. Can anyone, based on the symptoms, tell me what I should do to run PS1 games? Also, previous owner said something about a double reset. I tried to press reset at different moments, but nothing happens.

Update: I figured out how to launch games. But now I'm a little perplexed. My PS2 runs the cheap CD-R but doesn't want to run the official import disc.

Hi, It seems that you have a modded PS2 with Messiah chip. When you press twice the reset button, you can boot ps1 backup games, I think. If you press the reset button only once, it boots ps2 backup disks.
You may need to mod a memory card to obtain Open PS2 loader, and then a POPS PS1 emulator to be able to boot PS1 backups even from a USB sticks. Cheers!

    Wait Apple announced a flip phone? FOR ONLY 999$?! Apple, take my money! Hope the unfolded size is not bigger than the base iPhones though
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Kinda sucks when most stuff are made with men hands in mind
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BigOnYa, Lol $999 for a flip-phone. Since when does anybody use a flip-phone anymore? And why at such a high price?

    You could probably buy one for about 20 bucks or less.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I need some bloke on YouTube telling me why it's going to be a great phone for 20 minutes to change my mind

    6 hours video essay about the history and wonders of the iPhone flip phone
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    1,000 device from apple? That's like a 25c toy :whip:
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    the most expensive flip phone of all time
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    @_Ruri_ is that a good thing? when things are made with men hands in mind they are generally big enough for everyone to use, I wouldn't like to use something with the size of a gameboy micro
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @NinStar, Depends on what you want to use. It's definitely great that I can hold handheld consoles in a comfortable way, the DSi and Gameboy Pocket are the perfect size, never had a micro though so idk. It's a pain though on other stuff like finding a comfortable mouses, there are good mouses on the small side like the Razer Orochi v2 or the Logitech g305 and the Fantech Aria XD7 which are a bit bigger but you have to make a good deal of researches to find them, and they're not the standard anyway. The expensive, competitive mouses are all way too big for my hands so I don't really have any choice if I want to buy more premium mouses for esports or things like that
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Damn I wrote an essay there
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Kinda hard to find a fitting MMO mouse too
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @_Ruri_, You should make a blog entry about it. :D
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Bring back 3d to phone people will love flip phones again
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @SylverReZ, Yeah, the thought came to me too lol. I like writing but I never got into making reviews, blog entries and similar stuff. Maybe I could try in the future.
