HELP!!! Version R, solderless mod installed

[kinobe1]

I have the version r ps2 with the extra screw in the expansion slot and have installed the solderless mod chip. PS1 and PS2 games load no problem but I have been unable to load dvd-r(using TDK media and Pioneer DVR-A03). Latest try using Grand Theft Auto 3 to load backup of Jax and Dexter. I am in US and cannot figure out this problem. Using Gameshark version 2 and Prassi Primo to make backup.
Thanks

Try This



Step 1
Boot up PS2 with the GS2 v2.0 CD.

Step 2
At main menu, press eject and swap GS2 CD with a PS2 Original DVD Game.

Step 3
Press Eject to close (Wait for 20 seconds).

Step 4
Select any Game code list, and turn on or off any code on the list, then press start to go to the with/without codes menu

Step 5
Select with codes, then Press X. It will say “Update Code List” and the dvd stops spinning.

Eject the dvd using the rmod method and replace the dvd with the dvd-r, You have about 8 sec, tray will close and game will load.

I tried the technique you posted but still no results. When I get to the part where you insert the backup the screen freezes and does not move forward. Am I not using the right procedure in making the backup? Please advise what procedure you use in making your dvd based backups.
Thanks Again

The only backups that I have had success loading are ps1 and ps2 backups that are not dvd based. What software do you use to make copies of your dvd based games and could you e-mail me the procedure you are using? I think that perhaps I am not making the backups correctly.
Thanks Again
