Hi got the modchip chip today and install it.... (Can't believe how small the duo chip and the pins to solder it to...)
Anyway, installed the modchip.... (took approximately 2hrs)..... tested it on the SSX3 backup I made, did not work (the broken SSX3

)......
Created another backup (Metal Arms) ... works like a charm
one more question, on other post, if the original is lost, basically u need to destroy the backup..... what if the original has bad sector.... can I still create backup from other disc since I still have the original, Just wondering :0
Will post the pics on the other thread
Thanks for everything..
[EDIT]
Used DVD Decrypter to backup the SSX3 - was able to backup and the kids was able to play the game again ..... going to start using DVD Decrypter from now on
