No Mod - Knife Swap- No success!!!

[TKStyle]

Hi,

I have a 'version 3' PAL PS2 (i think), I just bought an Action Replay 2 Version 2 card. I dont have a mod chip, but i read you can play backups and DVD rips by using a 'knife swap' method.

I ripped GTA3 and Gran Turismo 3 on to CD by using rip kits from Mega Games website. every think went smoothly.

I did the knife swap trick - followed the exact instructions, did everything right, but the rips just don't boot.
I tried many time without any success. I even tried psx 1 backups without any success.

I tried the EA method, but when I release the power button the drive doesnt eject as it should do.

Can someone please help me.

Thanks
