We didn't thinks so but for a recent post by Cheesy which needs trying (I don't use NEO2.x):

"... Get AR2 and follow these instructions:
1. Power on with AR2" in PS2 (keep reset button pressed)
2.Select start game
3.Press EJECT & swap with an original PAL game (GT3 PAL works well)
4.Wait 10 seconds
4.5 Select without codes
5.Let go of reset (draw opens for 4 seconds)
6. Swap with [import] origional
7 Press X as soon as draw starts to close

This works 100% with Neo 2.2 and DVD's NTSC/PAL

Dont forget you must keep hold of reset up to step 5

Needs a bit of practice for some but it does work
Good Luck"
