Ok, hello all. This is my first thread hear, and I waited to post it till I had read up on the stuff I was asking about, so here it goes....
I have the No-Solder version 5 installed in my US 3000 R PS2 that has a version 5 motherboard. I imported Tekken 4 from Japan, and I want to make a copy to play on my chipped PS2, but so far I have no luck. I have a Pioneer 104 dvr DVD-RW unit and I use Nero. I also was using Memorex DVD-R discs. After trying the game several times using the different swap methods, such as the Dave Mirra too many code trick, and the standard swap trick, I had no luck.
I now read that the DVD-R has to be silver on the bottom. Is this true? If so what type of disc will I need to be using to get it to work? I dont see why that would matter, but I hear the PS2 is very picky about that stuff.
Also, I found a few patches, such as a GI fix, and another one that uses the ppf3. Do I need to patch it to make it work? If so, how the hell do u apply it, with some sort of image, or ISO editing software? The PPF3 one only makes the image into a cd one
Then after all this time I read that the chip I have will not boot a game over 640 mb. Is this true? All the places that sold the chip (Lik-Sang being the place I bought it from) say that it boots DVD-R backups, but not originals, so I thought it would be fine since I had the DVD-RW unit.
Thanks for you time and help, I really appericiate it guys.
