Oh dammit, AR2 not booting anymore

[Cypress Hill]

I have for 1,5 years a PAL ps2 with Neo2 modchip using Action replay2 to boot my games, all te sudden my ps2 doesn't recognize the AR2 cd anymore....it keeps saying insert a ps2 disc.....when i take a look at the Ar2 cd back, it's scratched{because of the much swapping with cds} how can i re-burn this ar2 cd on a brandnew cd? i use nero for burning..i hope the second ar2 disc will work again or else i'm fucked. the ar2 2.0 is not to be found anymore. though, it could be the neo2 chip itself as well of course...cause i just inserted the ar2 cd in my pc..it shows all the data....maybe the chip is fucked.

I'm planning on getting a Messiah built in by someone..though the thing is..it's very expensive

I tested it out some more, the damn thing just doesn't regognize the ar2 cd anymore....i heard that the Dvd regionx will work as a boot disc though...or else i'm forced to buy a messiah for someone to build it in...


Cd2 of the Action replay2 doesn't boot either...but original games boot without any problem..but the 2 AR2 cd's aren't broken cause i see the data and shit on my pc when inserted in the cdrom playa.

conclusion, the Action replay2 cartridge broken?
or is it the chip?
