Neo 2.2 problems loading ps2

I hope we are not in the unknown realms of AR2/v2! I know nothing about it!

Here's what I recommend if you haven't already tried it:

1 From CDR-Info, download CLONYXL
2 From www.elby.de download CloneCD
3 Run each game against CLONYXL (use SCAN) to obtain CloneCD parameters
4 Invoke CloneCD from CLONYXL and copy the games (via HDD)

It may be that CDRWin isn't up to it because of sub-channel data. I stress that I haven't researched the games to see if they have that protection method.

Also, you might care to get DVD Region X and use that as the boot method in case it's an AR2 problem. It's a lot easier than AR2 - you sswap your disk in when you see the region numbers and press START. If it doesn't boot then the CD is no good.

From where did you get these games? Do youi have a CD from which you are making a copy that works normally?
