I tried the two boot methods listedfor the no solder mod and for some reason on the DVD Backups it freezes at the part where its supposed to actually load up the dvd backup
How likely is it that out of the 5 or 6 DVD backups that I've made (at least one or two at 1x) that all of them using the Ritek 1's are bad? Are they really that bad that they are more useful as coasters or frisbee's?
I'll see if I can find a small pack of better quality DVDr's out there to burn a game to in order to see if it works, even though the stack of DVDr's that I got was pretty expensive (I purchased them quite a while ago in bulk) I'd actually prefer I guess if it was just crappy DVDr's that were causing the problem and not the mod chip. Those DVD's have been good for burning movies on to so they'll still have some use. I've never soldered anything before so the no solder one was the only option for me really... Without the serious risk of melting my PS2, burning down my house or soldering my hand to the PS2
Thanks again for any info or suggestions!
