No Soldering ModChip + v5 Console (Type - R)

[cLeAnEr-23]

Hello peoples!

We have a (PAL) PS2 (SCPH-3000x "R" model) and one of this
new no soldering modchip (URL at bottom). Works, but not really.
About 60-70 percent of all my games doesen't load/run on
the new modchip... well, DAMN IT!

Games compare to a v4 console with Neo2.2 + AS/GS 2.2:

- Pirates:
Neo2.2: ALL OK ---> NoSolderMod: Freeze PS2 in "Loading" scr.
(Drive is spinning high, after a while slow down)

- Pacman3D:
Neo2.2: ALL OK ---> NoSolderMod: Freezes after a couple of sec.
(Drive is spinning high, after a while slow down)

- Monkey Island 4:
Neo2.2: ALL OK --> NoSolderMod: NO Booting after Swap. Freeze.

- RayMan "M"
Neo2.2: ALL OK --> After Swap loading Blackscreen and freeze.

-Herdy Gerdy
Neo2.2: ALL OK --> After Swap, no loading. Freeze in AR/GS scr.

-Soldier of Fortune
Neo2.2: ALL OK --> After Swap loading Blackscreen and freeze.

....the list continues and continues for about 25(!) games....
bahhhh!!!


DAMN ! DAMN ! DAMN !

Someone knows whats the type is of the modchip used in this
no soldering solution ? I think (chip-layout) its a neo2.2 or 2.5.
But, not sure. And, if it is a neo2.x, why the games won't run
on the new v5 ?? Maybe, sony has changed some routines in
the PS bios against "Datel's" AR/GS ?

Someone know whats going on??

thanks!!

Most of the games you have described are dvd. The r-mod will not play a cd-r backup over 640mb so if the games are ripped onto cdr and are over the TOC limit of 640mb they will usually freeze up or not load at all. This mod works well for compact disc backups as well as dvd-r backups, not for dvd rips.
