You can download the AR2/1.7 (needs WINRAR to expand) from
http://www.pacificnet.net/~huyhoang/gs_ar/#
I suggest you take it gingerly at first. Boot wioth DVDRX and at the region screen swap in the Ar2/1.7 disk and press START on the controller. If AR2/1.7 loads ok (it doesn't always), selct Game/without codes and press X to open the tray. Put a simple PS2 backup in that works with your normal DVDRX method and see if that plays.
If it does, you can try with DVD-Rs, holding down RESET as you boot DVD-RX right up to the appropriate double swap point in "normal" Neo2.2 DVD-R boot. That will be the only way to get it to work if it will work at all; pressing reset at any other point resets the PS2.
The current AR2 version (2.x) will not play DVD-Rs on a v4 or prior PS2.
My private view is that the Neo2.2 has had its day because of DVD games and the changes to AR2 brought about by V5 PS2s. The appropriate chip for your system is now the Messiah/Clone or the Origachip.
Hope all this helps and let us know what happens.
