Neo2.5 DVD on 30001R PS2

[wasabi]

Can you play DVD backup with Neo 2.5 DVD chip install on 30001R PS2.

Some say it can, and some say it can't be done... I'm confused.. Please help..

Also, how do i tell which verison of 30001R model I got? is it by that PT21XXX number on the back of the machine???

take the cover off the expansion bay. Run your fingers along the top just inside. Or look. If there are three screws, one inset, then it's a v5 and DVD-Rs can only be played by the complex 'Dave Mirra Codes' method that I'll leave you to search for on the forum.

If it's a v4R, then the method is needed with aR2/GS2 v2.x.

is this the method u talking about for v5R DVDR boot method??

- Load AR2 V2 keeping Resetbutton pressed
- Select Action Replay Codes
- highlight Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX2 Code
- press START
- press EJECT and insert Original-TOC-DVD
- wait 10 Seconds
- now press 'X' on with Codes and 'X' once again
- Error-Message appears: 'Too many Codes'
- original TOC DVD stops spinning (thx, Datel *g*)
- now perform EA Trick (release Reset-Button) & insert DVDR Backup
- press 'X' to confirm Error-Message
- now press Circle twice to enter Mainmenu again
- START GAME, without Codes, press 'X'
- Codes are getting actualised
- DVDR boots
