I have the same edition Ps2 as you and the no solder r mod v5/v6 worked fine and was easy to install.

However in order to play dvd backups you must ensure your version of action replay is at least 1.7 and below 2.20. You can find this out by looking on the inner side of the cd.

I have since got the messiah, but the no solder was good value if you dont mind a quick swap trick.
