(Sorry for poor english, my own language is hyrulian)
I recently bought an used PS2 for Christmas (SCPH-90001 8C Serial:HU4... don't know what BIOS version) with Matrix modchip v1.99, expecting not only to play regular burned PS2 DVDs (which DOES just fine), but also play emulators, watch movies and other stuff like that.
First thing I have to do is to install ULE before install FMCB and of course the emulators, and I tried by CD-R (v4.40 from sksapps.com) but it didn't boot at all, maybe because of being an 8C (I know the program has compatibility issues with this version and forward). I'm planning to try again with the DVD version (v4.37 from the same site), but before moving forward I want to know if it will really work and some advise about all this stuff.
Also, it doesn't play burned PS1 games at all, is not big deal since I own a real PS1, but that would mean that the modchip is not installed properly so I'm worried. I haven't played music from CD yet.
I'm a n00b in modding, so don't hit me in the face if I'm a bit lost in all of this
