DVD'r boot method
 

I have read somewhere in the posts that if PS2 is fitted with Neo2.2 and you have original AR2V2 it is possible to boot a copy of AR2 1.7/9 with V2 and the swap 1.7/9 for a DVDr - Is this so

... and swap AR2/1.7 or 1.9 for a high TOC DVD then swap for a DVD-R. In principle yes. I don't know the sensitivity on the dongle because once you reset it with all those buttons pressed, you don't want v2.x re-initialising itself.

I can sya this, however, that DVD Region X will boot AR2/1.7 and once you've got the dongle into a state of grace with 1.7 I wouldn't use 2.x again.

Others closer to the details might hopefully respond too.

Yeah it works fine, every time with ar2 v2 neo 2.2

Can you detail how you got it to work so I can try it out, thanx

- Load AR2 V2 keeping Resetbutton pressed
- Select Action Replay Codes
- highlight Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX2 Code
- press START
- press EJECT and insert Original-TOC-DVD
- wait 10 Seconds
- now press 'X' on with Codes and 'X' once again
- Error-Message appears: 'Too many Codes'
- original TOC DVD stops spinning (thx, Datel *g*)
- now perform EA Trick (release Reset-Button) & insert DVDR Backup
- press 'X' to confirm Error-Message
- now press Circle twice to enter Mainmenu again
- START GAME, without Codes, press 'X'
- Codes are getting actualised
- DVDR boots :)

That has got to be the NEO4 of boot methods!!
