Start the Tonyhax International loader with a supported boot method.
Available boot methods for American and European PS2 consoles:
Available boot methods for American and European PS1 consoles:
Once you see the text Put in a backup/import disc
appear, eject the DVD drive (PS2) or open the CD drive (PS1).
All other boot methods don’t have a disc usually in the drive already, so there is no disc to remove. With no disc currently in your console, you can now put in the backup CD-R or import PSX game disc you want to play. Close the CD drive (PS1) or DVD drive (PS2). The console will detect that the drive has been closed and will spin up your disc. The console will then send some commands and boot the disc.
No special instructions are needed for USA and PAL consoles! It just works and is fully supported.
