Hi snoopy,
I burnt such as 120 ps2 games and more than 80 backups work perfectly.
However, i don't have any modchip fitted in my console...
It's not a fake, go on the website to verify this swap trick method:

then click on section warez, ps2 games, ... "tutorial" shortcut.
I don't use any knife too, and i think it's safely for your console:
Making a wrong soldering can damage your console for life...
But it seems that the modchip still be the best way to launch the backups...
