no solder mod patch?

[trilidar]

I'm a relative noob here myself, but I can tell ya what I've observed so far 1st hand.

I too own a 'No-Solder' mod (in fact, installed it this AM) on a V5 NTSC U/C.

So far, I have backed up:

(1) Tekken Tag, Ridge 5 and Freq PS2 CDs via Goldenhawk CDRWin
(2) Wipeout Fusion PAL DVD (and PS2Chimps NTSC patcher) via Prassi Primo 2.0

All have spun perfectly with no patches of any kind following both Lik-Sang's instructions for CD and NightStalker's excellent DVD info on GS 2.x (which is avail in another thread here).

Hope this helps.
