You will not be able to play DVD backups. This is because the GS or AR2 have a TOC limit of 640MB. A DVD has a TOC of about 2GB+. This means with my calculation the DVD is 1360MB too big for the AR2/GS to boot
 You will still be able to play DVD's though...Get a Messiah or Magic 2 chip - they play anything you throw at them - NO SWAP. Don't mess around with swapping - get a decent chip - You won't regret it! Summary: ------------- Play DVD-R backups = No Play CD-R Backups = Yes but only up to 640MB. Nothing more. Play DVD's = Yes but no DVD-R games!

Nope the Sbox will not play dvd-r games whatsoever. It does not support the dual swap.
Other modchips do. Magic 2 is a very good nonswap chip. Tyler!

LISTEN to what TylerDurden and lufcfan are telling you.... Stay away from those crap chips...... Get a Messiah or Magic 2..... Then you don't have to ask these type of questions....(Because they play EVERYTHING)......

if by one or the other you mean messiah or magic 2 then charlie_ps2 and dust2dust are your men - very reliable and trusted sources by many on this forum.

A somewhat long time delay in replying to these posts, but just so everyone knows what happens:
1. I tried fitting a messiah myself and things went toes up. 2. Since then I brought a PS2 from Charlie_PS2 with a messiah fitted and its kicking b*utt. 3. My original PS2 is in for repair (hopefully) Conclusion if your not 100% sure when fitting a messiah or magic 2 have a word with Charlie or Dust2Dust they know the right people for the job.
