Ok i finally got it to boot up into the modchip menu but the god damn thing doesn;t even work. I try to boot the backup directly no dice. I use the change disc option which just says "An error has occured", am I wrong or is the modchip supposed to prevent the errors when booting backups?
Have you flashed your chip yet? The Viper GC chip bios does not boot backups by default, you have find a bios that works and flash it to the chip.
