which Action Replay do I need?

[3sc0b4r]

Just got me an AR 2.

It is version 2.30 but the boot method shown in the sticky hasn't worked so far.

I'm using Virtua Fighter as original swap disc to boot Devil May Cry 2 but after inserting my backup I get the "No PS 2 disc" message.

Is the problem due to Virtua Fighter or should I try another way to boot? The DMC 2 backup was made with Record Now Max (I followed the backup sticky) on a Ritek G03 DVD-R.
