DVD-R backups on version5 (R) boards
 

i was hunting around for some answers on whether or not my neo2.2 and AR2v2 would boot a DVD-R back up of MGS2 . MY PS2 is a PAL 30003 R model which i believe is a version 5 board, according to the following website i found this does apparently work, although i havent yet got a DVD-R to try it with.

this is a quote from the site :

We also do pre-chipped consoles with the NEO2.2 built in ! and 3 months guarantee on the playstation 2 AND the modchip !!! The Perfect Gift ! It also works on the NEW R version (V5) consoles (Except for Unpatched EA games)


UPDATE: You can now play DVD-R games with a V5 machine and NEO2.2 using AR

hope this helps.

cheers all.
