Hi,
I know this is a weird one. I have a 9002 PAL fat ps1, that can read backups. I bought it second handed and haven't been able to open it (have no tools right now at my disposal).
Thing is that the system absolutely ignores original games. Backups it reads easy peasy any time, any region, 0 issues and they work perfectly, but original games are a big nope.
I tried booting original games through import player, gameshark (both burned on cd's) and the launchers will load, the original games will not.
I was even able to load gameshark from import player and vice versa, but the second I insert an original disc on this grumpy old boy, he just stops giving a damn and doesn't care.
Any ideas on what it could be? As I say, right now I don't have the means to open it and take a look at what's inside, but maybe a modchip that does this is known. Maybe it's a known issue with the lens. I have no idea, I at least couldn't find ANYTHING on either google or this forum in general.
Originales game will take me to the "Please insert a playstation or music cd disc" if booted normally, and if done through import player or gameshark, it just won't load.
Thanks in advance!
