DVD'r boot method

[NoBlueScreens]

I have read somewhere in the posts that if PS2 is fitted with Neo2.2 and you have original AR2V2 it is possible to boot a copy of AR2 1.7/9 with V2 and the swap 1.7/9 for a DVDr - Is this so

... and swap AR2/1.7 or 1.9 for a high TOC DVD then swap for a DVD-R. In principle yes. I don't know the sensitivity on the dongle because once you reset it with all those buttons pressed, you don't want v2.x re-initialising itself.

I can sya this, however, that DVD Region X will boot AR2/1.7 and once you've got the dongle into a state of grace with 1.7 I wouldn't use 2.x again.

Others closer to the details might hopefully respond too.

- Load AR2 V2 keeping Resetbutton pressed
- Select Action Replay Codes
- highlight Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX2 Code
- press START
- press EJECT and insert Original-TOC-DVD
- wait 10 Seconds
- now press 'X' on with Codes and 'X' once again
- Error-Message appears: 'Too many Codes'
- original TOC DVD stops spinning (thx, Datel *g*)
- now perform EA Trick (release Reset-Button) & insert DVDR Backup
- press 'X' to confirm Error-Message
- now press Circle twice to enter Mainmenu again
- START GAME, without Codes, press 'X'
- Codes are getting actualised
- DVDR boots :)
