Imported Games

Ok first off I have the S BOX mod chip. I ordered this game called All Pro Wrestling 2 for PS2. I can't play it at all. And I heard that you have to burn originals before you can play imports and I was just wondering how you did it. I tried to just straight copy it and it still didn't work. Please help me out on this. I payed $130 on the game so far and still nothing. Do I need special burning software or add a patch or something like that? I bought it from Japanvideogames.com and they said I can't return it so I really need this to work. Please any help would be awsome.
Thanks so much you guys

next time, invest those 130$ into a decent mod, not the sbox crap.
you can't play original imports on it. and dvd-r won't work either, so if the game is on dvd, you are fucked unless you get either an origa or a messiah, since these are the only chips that will play original imports.

Where do you get these mod chips? And I know the sbox is a piece of shit but that is all there is out here. And it's a normal blue bottom so I should be able to play that shouldn't I? How do I get that to burn?

a 1:1 copy should do the trick. however, you need an AR2/GS2 or a region X to swap to play the cdr too.. which is another 30-45$.
the origa costs 35-45$, but the installation takes alot of skill. you need a single swap for cdr/dvdr, no swap for original imports on US machines, a swap for PAL machines.
the messiah costs 100-130$, again takes lots of skill to install, NO swap at all for imports and backups, no need for AR/GS or region X.
it works with all PAL models, but only one US model.

I have a GS. Is there a boot method I should use? Which software should I use to try to make the copy. I used Easy CD Creator and it still didn't work so maybe I'm doing something wrong? Thanks alot.
