EA Boot Method
 

Okay i got a question. I have a pal PS2 with a neo 2.2 chip fitted. WEll i was trying to patch a EA game(NBA Street) so i thought like i won't have to go through the EA Boot method. However after i patched the game, I tried to boot it up with a DVD region X, but it didn't work. Then i tried the EA Boot method and it worked. But it didn't work with the other normal boot method.

I did the same thing with FIfa 2001, i patched the game hoping it will boot up like the other non EA ps2 backups but still no luck.

I was hoping if someone could help me out here with some answers. Thanks alot.

Use CloneCD to make a 1:1 copy of an EA game (unless you've downloaded it). If your reader/burner are RAW-DAO+96 compatible then you won't need the EA boot method.

Tried Clone CD
 

Hey Charlie, trust me ive tried it all, Clone CD, CDR win, patches, nothing. The only thing is am a bit confused about the patches, I mean are they meant to be for neo 2.2 chip as well. cause that's the chip i got.

Any hope u guys can help me out. Chou
