I have just got my PS2 chipped and I now want to get some games but have been told that I may not be able to Play DVD-R games on it is there any way that this can be fixed or can I use this EA Boot Method.
Have AR-2 Not sure what kind of chip.
Thanks

It would help to know what chip you have and what version ps2.

v4 Neo2.2 is inhernetly capable of booting DVD-Rs by the method specified at www.psxcopyworld.co.uk.

So, have you tried it?
What made the installer say there could be a problem?

sony have stopped Datel from selling AR2/GS2
that will boot dvd-r. Datel have changed their boot disks.
It does not matter what chip or PS2 version u have.

If your AR2/GS2 boot cd is v2.03 v2.1 v 2.11 v2.12
or anything higher it will not boot DVD-r no matter
what u do!

on all new AR2/GS2s
Your PS2 screen will freeze whan you insert the DVD-r.
too many codes
updating codes
dummy code
it don't matter, it won't work

go out
buy a Messiah

Great. It's Messiah time!

By the way, I'd bet that AR2 will continue booting DVD-Rs with the single step on Origachip.
