SSX problems

[Snork]

I have a chipped ps2, and can play backed up ps2 games using AR2 disc. Have tried copying SSX but copy won't work on my system. I have tried CloneCD, Nero, WinOnCD, and adaptec but none work. Has anyone else had trouble with this one? any suggestions appreciated

ITS SO EASY
SWITCH ON PS2..INSERT A/R..SHUT PS2 DOWN USING RESET BUTTON..NOW POWER UP PS2 BUT KEEP THE RESET BUTTON PRESSED IN UNTIL THE A/R MENU COMES AND YOU WILL HEAR A/R DISK SLOW DOWN..NOW TAKE YOUR FINGER OFF RESET BUTTON..THE DISK WILL EJECT (quite safe to do this as disk will have stopped)NOW HAVE YOU SSX BACKUP READY AND SWAP IT FOR THE A/R DISK..YOU HAVE 4 SECONDS TO DO THIS THEN THE DRAW WILL AUTOMATICLY SHUT.NOW SELECT START GAME THEN WITHOUT CODES THEN PRESS X TO START LOADING GAME..YOUR GAME SHOULD NOW BOOT....SSX IS AN E/A GAME WHICH TEND TO FREEZE UP ...IF THIS HAPPENS JUST PRESS EJECT THEN EJECT AGAIN TO REINSERT DISK WAIT A FEW SECONDS FOR CD TO START SPINNING AGAIN AND YOUR GAME WILL CONTINUE FROM WHERE YOU LEFT OFF...IT WONT FREEZE AGAIN AFTER THAT..ITS SOMETHING TO DO WITH E/A PROTECTION AGAINST A/R NOT THE MOD CHIP

Topcat. you are correct this is exactly right. When I eject the tray to restart the froze game, it does not reboot. Did you just copy it straight or apply any sort of patch. I'll try waiting longer for reboot next time. A real pain though.

OK this a topic that helps. is The freeze thing contains all the EA games?

Whith SSX it works and other games of EA didn't gave me a problem ( yet ). Is this also normal

HEY GUYS YOUR WELCOME ..THIS IS WHAT THE SITE IS FOR ... TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT..
TOASTER...I USE CLONECD WITH NO PATCHES YOU DONT NEED THEM ON PS2 GAMES...AS FOR OTHER GAMES WITH THIS PROBLEM...SOMETIMES DVD RIPPED GAMES NEED THE SAME TREATMENT AS E/A TITLES
