These games aren't made by EA (electronic Arts) by any chance are thay? If so u'll need to follow a different procedure, which i don't know off hand because i don't have my PS2 chipped ... yet

There was a post some time ago about how to deal with EA games, but that was for the NEO 2 chip, i'm not sure about what to do with the chip u r using, sorry

But check the website of the ppl who made ur chip and they should be able to tell you what the problem is if u pop them an e-mail. It could be because u haven't installed it properly, but i'd check with them first b4 u take it all apart again.

Hope thats of some help 2 u,
