Few questions...

About one and a half year I got my ps2 modified with a Neo 2.? chip (with AR). I think it's a neo 2.5 but since I got a dvd burner I'm not too sure anymore since I'm not able to boot my backups. Is there any possibilty to see what chip I got or does anyone have a good tutorial how to boot a dvd with a neo 2.5? If it turns out to be a neo 2.2 I'm thinking to get it modified again (with a messiah), is that possible? I hope anyone is able to help me out here. Thanks in Advance!

Does your ps2 play originals fine?

Yeah originals play very well

I would recommend you have someone uninstall your chip and put in a Messiah 2 or Apple Pro. Both chips work really well but the Apple Pro is only $20.

Thanks for your reply but I still don't know if I can boot dvdr whit this chip I have too...anyone else maybe?

You can boot dvdr games with that chip. But you need to have a version 1.9-1.94 Gameshark and an original large TOC game like Devil May Cry to be able to do the Double Swap Method.

hmm I have Gameshark V2 (Action Replay) and Final Fanatsy X will probably work instead of Devil May Cry...

The FFX will work only if its TOC is bigger than the game you are going to play.

Your Gameshark V2 will not work though. They have changed the little accident that allowed for the double boot in the versions 1.9 - 1.94.

Try this:

• Boot GS2 disc 1.
• At the main screen, press the EJECT button to eject the CD tray.
• Replace the GS2 disc with an original PS2 DVD game.
• Close the CD tray (press EJECT again) and wait for 15 seconds.
• Select gameshark codes and turn on or off any code on any game.
• Press start, select with codes and press x to load game.
• A black screen will appear saying "updating codes please wait"
• Do the R-mod swap by pressing and holding eject, swap with backup, tray will close and game will load.

• NOTE: The swap must be performed within the time you see the black screen.

• Nighstalker has tested this method with GS2 v 2.01 through 2.11.

• It works 100% of the time providing the backup is good.

Booting a Playstation2 CD (Silver or CD-R)

• Boot GS2 disc 1.
• At the main screen, select START GAME and then select WITHOUT CODES.
• Once the GS2 is asking to change the game disc, press the EJECT button till the light changes from green to orange.
• The CD tray will now open and you can replace the CD game with your backup copy.
• The CD tray will automatically close after about 5 seconds.
• Wait till the the power LED changes from orange to green again and press X now to start the game.

Booting a Playstation 1 CD (Silver or CD-R)

• Boot GS2 disc 2.
• At the main screen, select START GAME and then select WITHOUT CODES.
• Once the GS2 is asking to change the code archive, press the EJECT button till the light changes from green to orange.
• The CD tray will now open and you can replace the CD with your backup copy.
• The CD tray will automatically close after about 5 seconds.
• Wait till the the power LED changes from orange to green again and press X now to start the game.

Sheesh. I knew about that but its just easier to say it wont work, if you know what I mean.

thanks alot for all the help guys, I have just one little question

does it matter if you use dvd+r or dvd-r? atm I use dvd+r

bighap · #12 22-10-2003, 15:13

Some older lasers can't handle +r media well. Generally for v1-v4 -r should be used if possible. V5 and up usually supports both.
