Hello: I recently installed a Viper chip. I was able to successfully flash the bios on the chip with the GCOS 1.4. I get the please wait screen, and then I can see all the options for loading games and such. I can boot my orginal games without a problem but any of my blanks which I have burned (Ridata Mini-disks R04) Seem to hang just after the Select X for PAL Y for NTSC and A to autosense screen, the Drive never spins back up. I have used NERO to burn my DVD's. I also checked the Ohms on my Drive and it is currntly running at about 198.5 which according to the Tweak FAQ is a respectable number. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. -- JKane
I now updated to Cobra 1.2 and still get the same thing. I can explore the disk, and see the files, but when I go to boot I just sit there. I am buring with Nero 6.6.0.13, but have only made costers so far. I can confirm that the chip is working, the lid bypass is functional, and that the Drive can read my images, but I cannot get them to load. I am using Ridata (Ritek) Mini Disks, so I don't think th media is the problem --JKane
ripping an original diks makes all go well. ripping a copy (of most sorts) will (-) never work with what is gcos 1.4. you may not have asked. this is info.
