2 modchips installed & CANT LOAD DVDr
 

Hi all.

I have a scph 30003R ps2, a usb neokey s-box chip + a pnp stealth no solder v5/v6 with AR2 v2.12.

I have problems loading dvd'r. I have tried all the booting instruction and nothing. I managed to load a dvd backup only once by using DMC & when updating list & pressing x + eject at the same time. After that I can't load it again. . Tried again & again..... nothing

Any ideas?

Cheers

Can you go back and take CAPS lock off please? It make its look like your YELLING.

I started out with that same combo except on a V4. I used DMC as my first swap and it worked fine....for a while. Then all of a sudden I couldn't boot DVD-R anymore. I almost spent a lot of money to replace the laser. Instead I thought I would try a set of Swap Magic disc's that my friend had. They booted every game I have no problems. I know there are some issues on them booting RIPS and some large TOC games but I have not had a problem booting all including GTA Vice City. I don't even use the NEO Key at all. You will hear mixed reactions on these disc's. All I know is that it solved my problem. If you are looking for a cheap possible solution it might be worth a try. If you got the money, get a Messiah 2 installed. Hope that helps. :)

Thanks m8,

Sorry about the caps. If i use only cdr's will i still damage my PS2? I saw that people had problems with the cd lenses.

cheers

I am not an expert, but I do know the Neo brand mod chips are hard on the laser because it sends an "extra" charge to laser itself. Since Neo Key only boots CD-R's I would think you would be better with DVD-R's. :)

I would remove the USB mod, Its only use is to direct boot PSX titles, not PS2. The no solder will load everything without damaging the laser, also make sure the dvd original is clean, free of fingerprints and scratches. The dvd boot method posted in BG's factoid by nightstalker is proven to work with GS2 v2x as well as AR2 v2x assuming the original dvd game and backup are of quality.
