I have tried everything and my PS2 v5 with Ace Key one-wire and GS v2.11 [also tried GS v1.93] will not boot my DVDr backups. It does however boot my PSX/PS2 CDR backups.

So I am looking for a quick, cheap solution. I was considering the no-solder chip but then I saw this "flip top cover" sold at a site that someone posted the link to. Here is the link:

http://www.saveware.com/Flip_Top_Cover.htm

The claim is that it will boot both CDR and DVDr media without modchip [I would remove mine] and you do not run the risk of burning up the drive door. Is this true, is this a good, safe method? I wonder if you have to pull the media out when it is still spinning? It still needs to be used in conjunction with a GS or equivalent. Maybe I will email the site to get the scoop from them. Before seeing this link I never saw this item before. Thanks for the help.

Geez :rolleyes:, You are trading one problem for another! Dont buy this crap. Save your money, get a no-swap chip and be done with it.

Maybe he enjoys suffering.

Warlock and Tyler,

Thanks for the prompt reply. So what you are saying is that flip-top PS2 cover is worthless and does not work??? Personally, it seems too good to be true. I was planning on getting the no-solder chip but thought this might be an even better long-term solution with little installation effort.

And for the record, you are not the first to mention me liking to suffer. :) I tend to do things the hard way!

Thanks for the help.

Just get a Duo chip man, they are only around $20 free shipping and everything. Im sure you can find someone to install it since its only like 16-17 wires. This will boot all your backups without the need of a swap. Dude you just love it.


No suffering included.


Tyler!
