PSX games on a modded PS2

[Treble]

I can't seem to get my PSX games to boot on my modded PS2. How is it done? I've heard of pressing reset twice, but I've tried this method at every tempo you can think of, and it still doesn't work for me.
>.<

which mod chip do you have? the press reset twice thing is for the messiah 1, with some of the newer mods you have to press buttons on the dual shock I think

Ah. Mine is a Messiah 2, I'm pretty sure...

With the Messiah 2, from standby, hold down the reset button until the eject light comes on. Now it's in PS1/Movie mode till you power off
