Playing divx movies

Hi,

I've recently bought an old PS2 with Myth chip and would also like to use it for playing movies and mp3s.

I've made a CD with ulaunchelf, SMS player, Reality player and some more elfs (mostly homebrew games and demos). I've booted ulaunchelf and launched various elfs with success. Though, when I tried to use the players I ran into problems. After successful start of SMS or Reality player, I changed the CD with AVI file, then click on Browser and I couldn't see any content on CD.

After awhile I thought the problem must be changing the CD, so I decided to boot ulaunchelf and before going to ulaunchelf's browser I would just eject the CD and put it back in. The browser couldn't locate any elfs as could've previously. Also I have noticed that after an elf is started the CD spins indefinitely.

Also a friend of mine with brand new PStwo and Modbo chip is having the same problems.

Is this the correct behaviour? You can't eject CDs? Or do I have to put in specially formatted CD?

Maybe a Dev1 boot of the elf can help.
But im not sure.
Also i didn´t now everything about the cheapmods like modbo or myth (i have installed both of them only one time,and this was to much for me i dont like clones with stealed code in it).
So,search about the Dev1 Feature,when the chip have it,install ulaunch and SMS to your MemCard and boot from card!
Then it also doesn´t work,burn the disc with the moviefiles with MODE B/2 (NERO).

Yesterday I moved SMS to memory card (I haven't had memory card until yesterday and now it works! I can swap as many CDs I like and it works. Strange.

About Modbo and Myth chips. I don't like clones either, but I haven't had chance to pick a chip, I bought PS2 that was already modded. Another thing about these chips - I am having problems booting PS1 games. Only when I disable the chip, it boots the game, though this means that I can load only originals, not backups. Even if I force PS1/DVD boot mode (by pressing X button), it doesn't work (even originals don't work then). Is there something special about booting the PS1 game? Or is this common problem with Myth chip?

Its an myth problem!
The Code from the chip aren´t optimized for the myth hardware,its an stolen code from the matrix infinity chips.
Every chip with stolen code has problems,also xeno_ps,modbo and the myth series.

Ok, thanks for explaination. I don't bother with PS1 as long as it is properly emulated on my PSP.
