Well, hello ladies & gentleman. It seems that some kind of weird problem happen to me and i have no idea what to do. Any help would be gladly appreciated.

I just bought a brand new slim model 90006 today but it can't play any ps1 games (Red disc read error screen) . Surprisingly, when i tested it on my cousin's (model 70000 something iirc), the game run just fine. I wonder what's wrong with it.

Oh and here's the list of PS1 games that won't work on my PS2 but my cousin's instead.

Valkyrie Profile
Star Ocean 2
Tales Of Eternia
Final Fantasy 9
Chrono Cross.

Been there, done that.

Edit: When i pressed it once (PS1 CD inside), it goes to the browser screen. When i pressed it twice, Viola, red screen. I opened up the disc tray without resetting, closed it and just wait for the machine to scan the game automatically, yup, red screen again. So i guess i'm doing it right.

It just won't work....

And all of them are NTSC/UC

All i see is "Please insert a playstation or playstation2 format disc"

Edit:Modded console is not supposed to be region locked right? All my PS2 games run just fine though.

Added on April 7, 2009, 8:48 pmI need to clarify this. Do we actually need original PS1 disc? I know Modded PS2 certainly can play ps2 pirate games but i'm not sure if we can used pirate PS1 disc.

That method only applies to fat PS2, Mine are slim model 90006.


It can play DVD just fine but not PS1 pirate disc. I haven't test it with original disc so i'm not sure. Plus i did place the disc properly.

I'm not very knowledgeable with modchip but is it possible to change the model 90006's modchip so it can play all(original, backup & all region) ps1 games just like model 70000. If so, what kind of modchip should i use?

I guess i need to ask once more. Is there anyone here who owns NTSC/J PS2 slim model 90006 and had no problems playing all kind of PS1 games? Doesn't matter if it's either backup, original or from what region it came from?

Uh...when i check up my console at Bernard today, turns out it can't run PS1 games because of the faulty modchip....>_<. He replaced it with a new one and it can play PS1 games just fine.

It's the same modchip for RM 100. I think Super 7 E-17 is the name of the modchip iirc. He said all the recent model (SCPH-90006) use that chip.

As the previous poster said You have to mod your console with a modchip or something to play RM5 games. alternatively, you could also use swap magic (Does our country even have that i wonder).



Original games but it's not a freakin' RM5 games.

I guess it's more expensive coz it's...well, you know, Jusco? iirc, i've seen the taukeh & several of the workers there in centrepoint before(The shop at lower grounds. Probably a branch but when i asked, they totally denied it. Odd)

btw, i don't trust shops at centrepoint that much. I bought a ps2 slim with a faulty chip there before. Thank god Bernard can fix it.
