no solder mod help

can anyone help. some games wont boot up, does anybody know why? or how to solve this problem without re-chipping the machine? currently it plays about 80% of games that i have tried. all use the same boot method. AR2 first, hold EJECT until the RESET light changes, insert backup, NO CODES then X.

is there another way to boot?

any help would be appreciated.

Re: no solder mod help

You don't state what games it is that you are having problems with.
If they are dvd RIPS then that is your problem. The no solder mod chips will only work with games that have a table of contents under 650meg.
Most dvdRIPS are above this

So just stick to dvdr's and your normal cdr's

Hope this helps

there are plenty of ripz that are under the toc limit, and if not, you put them under the limit. go to spiv.de/ps2 for patches that will reduce the size of the games (no-mod patches). and if you dont find the patch you need there, try this: extract all of the files from your .iso or .bin into a folder with the name of the image file, using pssplex (found at www.megagames.com/ps2/ps2_utils.shtml) you can now reduce the size of all the .pss files in the image by demuxing, then downsampling the m2v and wav files, then multiplexing again. =)
DVD-R is obviously much easier, and the above is the "I can't afford DVD-R solution".
