I followed the boot procedure at this link ( http://www.modchipinc.com/pages/nosoderusage.htm) exactly, and used Devil May Cry for the TOC. I am using Game Shark version 2 something. My modchip is the No-solder R-mod.
Then i tried backing up metal gear solid 2 using primo and it won't boot. Again, 1x read and 1x write. I followed directions for burning on this site exactly. I followed the boot procedure at the above link. Still nothing....please help....
Addition info: My burner is pioneer A105, and i can boot CD based games no problem!!!
Any one that can suggest any thing, no matter how minor to try would be doing me a huge favor.....cheers!

Not sure if this is the case but If you have a version 7 ps2 you cannot use gameshark/action replay (ANY VERSION) to do the boot swap. The version 7 somehow knows you have done the swap so if you're model is 3900* then soz but swap magic 2 boot disks are the only way.
And even these arn't without faults. If it is a version 7 i'd recommend you get a no swap mod (messiah 2 ) installed. It'l save you time and a lot of effort.
if you have a ver 5 or 6 then check the version number of the gameshark *the exact number is on the underside(blue) of the disk in the rim* and report back. Some of the newer version don't work for the swap.
