Depends on your modchip.

Origachip will boot US originals and all backups using DVD Region X.

Old 8-wire modchip will not boot US originals, only backups using the Utility disk to boot and games have to be patched with the Universal Patcher to make it have the same name as the utility disk.

Does this help?

Which modchip and which PS2?

You should open it up and look. Tell us whether it has 8,15 or 22 wires. Take a phot if possible and e-mail it to me via my profile.

Our you could try booting with DVD Region X and swapping in a known good backup.

Best is torip it out and put an OrigaChip in if it doesn't have 15 wires.
