booting ps2 without chip
 

i've got tons of bootcds for ps2 which claim that a chip isn't nessesary, but they don't work.

are they fake, or is it just me who #### up the files?

All boot cds are fakes except legal games & demo disks, DVD Region X, FN Extreme, Action Replay 2, Gameshark 2, Memory Manager 16, Jap Utility Disk and perhaps one or two other utility type available in major shops.

..and only originals of them, downloadable copies will NOT boot.
