Hi Utkarsh,
By 'boot behind' I mean that you do a conventional CD swap without codes by booting with the old AR2/1.6 original and swapping in the AR2/1.7 or 1.9. This should then behave again like AR2 originally did and you can try with your DVD-Rs. You'll have quite a bit of experimenting to do.
You're at the limit of my knowledge here because I haven't used the NEO2.5. The 'published' DVD-R boot method for NEO2.5 is:
1 Power on the PS2 & press EJECT
2 Insert the GS2/AR2 CD 1
3 Power off the PS2 for 5 seconds
4 Turn on the machine by holding the RESET button until the green light on the RESET button and the blue light on the eject button begin flashing - release RESET button
5 After 25 seconds the disc tray will automatically open and you must swap the GS2/AR2 disc with an original DVD-ROM based PS2 game which has a larger TOC (table of contents) than that of your DVD-R copy (click here for a TOC size database) - you have 5 seconds to perform the disc swap before the disc tray automatically closes
6 Once the disc tray closes the RESET button light will become red and joypad operation will be interrupted for 5 seconds at which time the RESET button light will begin flashing green.
7 Select START GAME
8 Select WITHOUT CODES - the disc tray will automatically open
Swap the original DVD-ROM based game with your DVD-R backup copy - you have 5 seconds to perform the disc swap before the disc tray automatically closes
9 Press X to begin loading the game
Hope all this helps
