PSX_PAUL - Quick Question for newbie

[Tonyz]

Paul,

I followed your instructions for backing up a PS2 DVD and it appeared to work. My PS2 has a Mod Chip with a NeoKey and GameShark 2. How do I get the backup to play? Is there a trick to it? I can backup my games that are on Compact Disc just fine, it is the DVD format that is giving me some trouble. Thanks for any assistance.

I used RecordNow Max. and it appeared to work.... just can't play it.

@Tonyz which format did you use and was it on a RW disk?..
There aRE a few disk on the market are crap to say the least in XBOX and PSX consoles.
A friend of mines uses Mirror DVD's 4x for his game back up np. And this media Arita Ritek x4 is fine in PSX.. My advice is try it on a RW disk 1st to see if you still have this problem.

As far as I know, the NeoKey USB mod does not boot DVD based backups.

As far as I know, the NeoKey USB mod does not boot DVD based backups.

So if NeoKey doesn't work.... do I have to put a different modchip in? Or just get something else to boot the game?

[ps2king]

NeoKey doesn't work. I know that nothing else will boot the game so I think that a new modchip will be the solution.

Is there anywhere I can purchase a pre-chipped PS2? Im in USA

[Tonyz]

I have the NeoKey now, should I put a Magic V or a Mesiah in it? If so do I need to take the old mod out? Will this solve my issues?

[ps2king]

Yes this should solve ur issues. You'll have to unsolder the wire you soldered and then solder the messiah or magic.

If you're looking for premods then just run a search on google saying 'Premodded Playstation 2 USA'. You'll get many results and price varies in different places. Also I don't know if they're reliable or not so order at your own risk. I don't think you should have any problems though.

I appreciate all your help!
