No solder mod 650meg solution
 

I recently ran into the same trouble that most have with games over 650 meg dvd rips not booting. Then i visited spiv.de/ps2 and found the no mod kits. They work perfectly for the no solder mod. I'm unsure though if the real issue is size or running time? I've burned dvd rips over 650 into 700+ range and they have played fine. Either way, is it possible for a workaround to this, so as to not have to use these kits? Most of the kits i'm guessing simply move the boot sectors up for no mod ps2's, and maybe cut a few more files, but is there a way to trick the ps2 into thinking the toc is smaller than it really is? Just a couple of thoughts here, anyone who has a bit more ps2 savvy is welcome to give their two cents.
