Dal and I joined forces on this one some weeks ago. The results were:

1 For PAL Machines NEO2.2

The CloneCD copy and the CDRWin 3.8D copy patched from the Megagames site for 100% English both worked with AR2 and DVD Region X

2 For JAP PS2

The CDRWin 3.8D copy patched from the Megagames site worked

So what are your symptoms? What were your CloneCD settings and what burner are you using? From where did you make a copy - a Jap original or another trusted source?
