charlie i was reading some earlier post's and i read about the orignal modchip from modcip.com with the origachip also in your ps2...if i dont have the original modcip installed what will make a differnece?and what are the benifits of having both chips?thnaks for all the help and ervy1 on this post!
ANSWER: If you have an old modchip that allows a DVDR game to be played and if your new modchip doesn't, then it should be possible to leave the old one in and use its boot method. That's what I did.

oo charlie or any1 out there, i got another qucik qestion.. i have a (US) ps2 so should i still be gettin the dvd region x or should i get another boot disc?
ANSWER: DVD Region X is the simplest way to boot CD backups. Depends on your modchip as to DVDR method and you may well need GS2 for that.
