HELP!

Ok, today I went to play 5th mix on my v8 fliptop ps2. I used the CD disk, then swapped it with 5th mix, it simply would not load! i tried it 4 times and whenever i press X, i can hear the disk spin, but it wont load the game. the bottom of the 5th mix cd is PERFECT, there's not a single scratch or piece of dust.

I also have party collection, that boots up 100% perfect every time! same with japanese max2 and extreme

why is 5th mix giving me problems?

I also tried to play one of my american ps1 games on the ps2 and it worked.

You cant use the PS2 cd disk for PS1 games.

Larrikin says, re: booting PS1 games on PS2:

[hooded__paladin]

Well, you're wrong.
If you have a way to swap the discs without pressing the eject button, you can use a PS-X-Change, a GameShark, an AR, or a Breaker Pro. The only problem is that the Breaker Pro doesn't have anti-mod codes for some games (it thinks that it has it for all games and thus does not allow code entry)

[antimony]

I didn't say my impressions were necessarily correct. I just said that none of this is detailed on the first page, which just says "any CD swap disc", which would imply that the CD swap magic is OK, which it isn't. I was mostly asking Larrikin if he could include these additional details on the first page, for the benefit of the handful of people who actually check it before asking.

I'm trying to help, here. I'm not pissed at Larrikin or anyone else here because my BP doesn't work -- my guess is that, as they're rather fly-by-night, that there's different versions, and the fact that mine doesn't work is evidence of this, since some poster in this thread got 4th mix to work with a BP. I'm just helping point out an inconsistency in the first-page FAQ that, if fixed, might decrease the number of questions people keep asking, and it means we can point to the first page and tell people to look there with confidence that the question they have is actually answered.

Thumbs up to anitomy!

I own a "mega memory manager" for the ps2, (its for my datel mem card) At one point it stops the CD from spinning, I tried swapping it out with ddr 5th mix and it didn't work. Oh well

I think I'll just get a breaker pro NTSC disk. As long as it boots up my 5th mix, I'm good!

It should be, its up to the game, not the ps2.

How long does it take for PS2Cover.com to process an order? I ordered mine two weeks ago, but it hasn't been shipped yet.

I want to buy a DMS3 but the guy who does chip installations by me says that the Messiah Pro is better. I thought the DMS3 looked pretty good but he said it only has a 50-70% chance of working. Does this guy know what he’s talking about or not? Should I get a DMS3 or Messiah Pro?
