PS1 Games on PS2

[DoodCrazy]

My friend's modded PS2 can't play regular PS games, it just goes to a black screen. It was already modded when he got it, so I don't know if it could ever play PS games, but it most likely could.
Anyway, since regular PS games don't work, if I burnt a PS game, like FFVII, with Alcohol 120% and the setting PS2 game, would it work?

I doubt it.

If you buy a Breaker Pro, you'll then be able to play burnt PSX games.

Well, usually what happens is majority of the PS2 modchips (whichever the brand) are set to "boot PS2 games" at default, so even if you put a PSone game, the modchip would think you are trying to boot a PS2 game and thus the blank/black screen. Most modchips have a certain way of booting PSone games.

I have a Magic V 50k modchip and its set to boot PS2 games as default. If I need to boot a PSone game, I need to switch off the PS2 and then when starting it up, keep holding the Power Button (Red Light) until the Blue Eject light lits up, thereby "putting the modchip in PSone mode" and then it boots up PSone games just fine.

So I would recommend you to determine which modchip you have installed on your PS2, go to its website and determine what is the method to set your modchip in PSone mode. Follow the instructions correctly, and your PS2 should boot PSone games just fine

It's the slim PS2, so there isn't a eject light, but I'll try it.

You have to make sure which modchip you have coz the method differs from modchip to modchip

So, which modchip do you have ???

It's my friend's, so I'll call him up and ask him. If he doesn't know, I'm screwed then. Unless I open it up myself to check, but I'll sure I break something...

EDIT--
All I got was that it was red. I guess I'll do random things and see if anything changes.

Dude just use ePSXe or buy a breaker pro disc. You won't regret it.

Btw you mentioned about burning the psx games with the same ps2 setting, well is right if you mean the ps2cd games setting, because they share the same setting.

Thirding the Breaker Pro...

Forthing the Breaker Pro.
Or ePSXe/pSXFin.

Uh, when you boot PSX games on my brother's PS2 you have to press the circle button.. or is it the square? Uh.. yeah.

Yes that is how you boot PSone games when you have a DMS4 modchip. As I said, the method differs from modchip to modchip.

Don't really know much about the Breaker Pro, so can't say much on that

Just get a cheap modded PSX, work out easier and cheaper in the long run.

That is by far one of the BEST options even I would recommend you I remember selling my PSone so I can get myself a brand new PS2. After playing like hundreds of PS2 games, I started missing some of the classics that I thoroughly enjoyed on the PSone, so I bought myself a modded PSone Problem solved

You know you guys can call me UBER LUCKY. I owed one of my friends $20 and he had bought a modded PSone around six months back. He didn't like it I really don't know why and he lost all the cables and had fucked up the controllers, etc, etc. All that was left was the modded PSone console itself, which was in excellent condition. I told him to give me that console and we are even and that DUMB FUCK AGREED

Now am using all the accessories of my PS2, like the controllers, the video cable, etc. All I needed to buy was a brand new power adapter and am back to my old psone games......hmm....the nostalgia

Did your friend ever mention to you where he got the modded PSOne? If so, I'm hoping it was by any means other than eBay. I was thinking of ordering a Stealth 4 chip for my PSOne, but would much rather get a pre-modded one...kinda got tired of using the PSX-Change boot disc
