Help with US PS2 with modchip w/ GS2 V 1.0 and getting it to work.....

[Parlay]

I thought that I might email you regarding some questions that I have. I have the USA PS2 with both the US mod chip and GS2 and I can't get it to work. I've tried all the methods of booting and I can't get them to work.

I have tried both patch programs;

1.) Paradox Universal PS2 CD Patcher - loser 2000

With this program I tried copying the game using Cdrwin ver3.8d using raw method to the hd. Then I tried applying this patch. Then I burned the game and try to boot using GS2 v1.0 cd and it doesn't work.

2.) I have also tried using the Napalm PS2 CD Patcher for AR2/GS2 v1.0 and it still doesn't work either.

Do you have any suggestions? Do I have to have the V 1.3 of the GS2 in order for it to work? Should I be using a different method of patching or copying??
