Its best to just make a img useing record now max on the Hard Drive but u could try 1:1 copy it might work i never tryed it so i couldnt say. I never even did it with the ps1 games lol and useing flip top swap magic makes no difreance it wouldnt matter if u had a no solder or a solder chip the disk is read by the laser not the chip so if u have a bad burn that wont play it wouldnt play in eather. i would say if u going with solderless chips go with flip top or no solder cause slide cards and neos will kill ur ps2 and u dont even need a chip to play moives just copy them and pop them in they play just fine
but with the newer games u will need a cd loader disk to use with the swap magic disk on the sloderless type chips cause seems like alot of them 2x TOC check games r comeing out now u can get this from PS2OWNZ.COM they talk alot about solderless chips there
