I have a modded a PS1 9000 model with a Mayumi V4 but this particular system only boots games when the disc tray is open. Anybody know what causes that? I know I screwed up somewhere along the way, though I should consider finding a way to shut the sensor. The chip I used wasn't Bad_Ad84's btw, but a different and bigger one.
Well, the chip has a connection to the lid switch. It sounds almost like you have that point wired to the wrong point, so when its open it thinks its shut.
