Driving me mad ! Sbox mod and AR2 V2. Please Help !

[wombat_uk]

Hi,
Can someone help me to keep sane? I have an sbox external mod chip and am using AR2 V2 to boot from.
The bit that is annoying me is that it seems so "hit and miss" as to whether my games will boot or not.

I use the following sequence that occasionally works but more often does not.

Turn on PS2
At PS2 logo switch on Sbox
Choose Start Game / Without codes with AR2
Manually eject disk at prompt (Note: a lot of instructions possibly for gameshark or older AR2 say that the tray is ejected. Not for me!)
Put in copied game
Press R1 and X at same time.

I see many methods stating different times to turn on the sbox and different buttons to press (X or R1 and O).

Surely someone has a tested method that will boot games every time on AR2 V2 ????

Please help before I start to tear my hair out !!!

Many Thanks in advance.
