DVDR ultimate question

[kinkladze]

Ok read thru all the back posts and I'm none the wiser for any of it.
Basically I have a Pal ps2 (ver 2) i think

I boot using modchip 2 (might be later not sure how to find out)
I use DVD region X (also have accsess to Xtreme fm)
Basically without going over the top moneywise can I boot a DVDR ?
I understand I need an orginal DVD with a large table of contents.

Sadly I dont own one I want to run backups of FFX and MGS2 would a ps2 magazine cover DVD work ? if so how do you find out how big the TOC is from the disc?. or should I purchase devil may cry (decent game anyway would be a good excuse to buy it)

I'm really frustrated by all this why cant it be simple.
so if any of that makes sense
to summarise

A) Can I boot a DVDR with my current setup ?
B) If not where do I need to be ?
C) Whats the boot method I should employ

Many thanks to anyone who can help

ANSWER: Don't know. We have to know your modchip. To try, get DMC original as mooted, a DVD-R from somewhere and use the boot method described at ####://www.psxcopyworld.co.uk or ####://www.ps2ownz.com If it boots then likely you've got a Neo2.x and that's good. I presume you boot CD games ok? How do you boot EA games?


B) If not where do I need to be ?
ANSWER: Either with a Messiah Clone or Origachip for PAL

C) Whats the boot method I should employ
ANSWER: As per (A) above or dependent on where you go if you get another modchip

cheers for the reply dude, EA method switch of ps2 switch on holdinging down reset, (DVD X is preloaded) Release resert when number screen appears (select region 1-6) insert EA game then it boots.

Only prob I have for booting DVDr is that I don't have action replay only xtreme fm or DVD X , dont really want to spend 30 quid on Actin replay, 40 quid on DMC, if I can just locate a messaih clone and install. another prob is ps2 is version 2 I'm sure so dont think it will be compatable ?

what do you reckon

I'm not optimistic for you. Your EA method is not NEO2.2 compatible so God knows what you've got. v2 is also a problem (I should have spotted that) for Origa/Messiah
