i just went through a 96 cd case of backups, every game which was over 74 minutes, DID NOT BOOT. end of story i think. This mod definetly has issues, thanks very much to everyone who recommended this mod, what a waste of time and effort. If you are wondering i own a SCPH30003R, with Action Replay V2.

damn it, well, it was too good to be all pefect given the cheap price i guess. thxs. i also own a v5 pal ps2 and action replay 2.02. nightstalker , did u get this? have you tested yours with 80mins cds yet?

.
Step 1
Boot up PS2 with the GS2 v2.x

Step 2
At main menu, press eject and swap GS2 CD with a large original, (650+ mb original 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 cd will stop spinning.

Eject the original using the rmod method and replace the 650+mb original game with the 80 min cdr backup, You have about 8 sec, tray will close and game will load............................This is the same problem this mod has playing large TOC dvd rips. The above solution solves this.

nightstalker, then i take it that with the method you given us, you managed to boot every 80mins cdr backups?

Which reminds me..

What's the story on EA games and 'No-Solder'? Still need a patch and screwball swap method? Since I currently don't own any EA games, I haven't tested.

NightStalker, EMPiRE or anybody else know?

Much thanks in advance.

So far it has, Its done with the same method used to boot dvd-r backups only instead of swaping the GS2 for a original dvd game you swap it with a original compact disc game that has a larger TOC than the backup game you are trying to boot.

Not sure about that one trilidar, i did have a usb mod so all of my backups that required it are patched.

NFL blitz 2002 is one game which doesnt like to boot, has anyone got this game booting with nightstalkers method or something else?. It is a 74 minute game but requires a different booting method on 'non modded systems'. So far i have had 0 luck getting even the drive to spin up with it.

How many mb is it???

theres an interesting discussion over on the ISONEWS PS2 forums regarding this game, seems like im not the only one having problems booting it. I would appreciate any help getting this bloody thing to work.
