dvd backup boot w/ v4, STARchip + GS 1.4
Hi I just got a dvd burner and I was wondering what the boot method was for my configuration.
I got an old V4 w/ a STARChip (neo 2.2 basically) and and old GS 1.4. I tried both the normal boot method and the "High TOC switch" to no avail, but it might be my Memorex media. Anyway if someone has a similar setup I'd like to know how they boot dvd backups, or if I'm just wasting my time with the old stuff. Thanks in advance Gary

Your laser might not be up to the task to play dvd backups. Also make sure you use dvd-r for your setup. Might want to try a different brand media too. Memorex dvd media is known to suck on the ps2.

This was SUCH a pain in the ass for me (Neo2.5 w/GS), and I had a good GameShark. (Version 2.1)
Basically to play DVD backups you have to overload the GS with too many codes... but not TOO many or you'll lock it up. I wrote a walkthrough and attached it to the boot methods sticky. Give it a shot, you might have to fiddle a bit though. It might be worthwhile, if your laser isn't TOO fried, to upgrade your chip. I did. - Gurm

I have the same setup
I think you should try another game shark. When I had my chip installed . They told me it will only boot dvd-r's with a game shark v1.9. I haven't tried it with any other version of the game shark. Just something you should look into. P.S Did you have it installed in Toronto?

Yeah, well - I heard that certain Game Shark versions couldn't boot DVD-R, too. But I have made several of them work. It just takes a lot of fiddling - if you don't have the patience, update the MOD chip.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm still debating whether I'm gonna put any more money into the old v4.
I've gotten a Video DVD-R to play in my V4 so I think my laser might still be ok. Thanks for the tip zellar, that clears up why my GS 1.4 isn't working as advertised, and no I had to self install my chip, unfortunately. I'll keep you guys posted, Thanks again. Gary
