    Hi guys,

    I have a v10 PS2 with Magic V installed. I can loaded all PS2 original, backups, imports and even backup DVDs with no problems. However I can't seem to load my PS1 backups for some reason. I tried to make my PS2 into standby mode and hold reset until the blue eject light shows up and then I released the button. But that doesn't work. But sometimes if my PS2 goes into browser screen and I open the tray and then close the tray and hold the eject button for like 10 secs, the game will load.

    So my question, can someone tell me the proper way to load PS1 backups? Should I hold the reset button or the eject button?

    Thanks in advance for any help~~!

    Due to differences in the BIOS on the v9/10 machines, the Magic V RESET connection needs to be soldered to the Eject contact on the motherboard making the Eject button the button that switches modes. To boot intp PS1 mode, hold Eject until the blue light appears. To boot into sleep mode, hold Eject for 5 seconds.
