HELP: does no solder mod chip work on all PS2 games?

[haqfar]

Hey there,
my question: does the no solder mod chip (PNP Key) work on all CD-R ripped games?

I am new to the PS2 scene and just got a no solder mod chip.

I installed it easily enuf, and then tried it out with the GS. The first few games I tried worked fine with the swap trick, but then a bunch of others didn't. I did some research adn found a page that said that the no solder mod chip (PNP key) doesn't support 80 minute cd-Rs.

So I cursed myself for not getting a better chip. Then I noticed that some of the games that do work are 80 minute cd-R rips.

WHAT WORKS: (80 minute CD-R rips)
Virtua Fighter 4
Tekken 4

What Doesn't: (also 80 minute CD-R rips)
X Men: New Dimensions
Tony Hawk 4

I don't have a friend with a modded PS2 to try my cd-r's out on but i am pretty sure that they are good burns. I made them using a recent version of NERO (2 months old) on 16 X speed.

Should I try using clone CD and do it at 1X speed? Is that really going to make a difference? I have heard that many times before for DC and PC games and have never done it and have never had a coaster.

anyways I really appreciate anyone helping me!

This mod is not to good for dvd rips. The rip must be 640mb or less to work. it doesnt matter if its on 650mb media or 700mb.

do you know if the USB one wire mod chip is any better?

thanks!

(and the weird thing is that unless i'm mistaken virtua fighter and tekken 4 are both more than 640 megs and they worked fine)

IMO its worse.

Yes it is worse. You loose the ability to play dvd-r.

you can get a R-mod which has a 1 wire solder which lets you play 80min cd's

thanks for all the responses!

so any idea if i left the no solder PNP connected if they'd both work together?

That way i'd be covered for both.
