This post is complete and utter bollocks (IMHO)
The TOC limit of 632.5meg (not 650m) is due to the AR/GS2
you use to boot the Backup game with.
When you boot any game, it checks to see it is a PRINTED
CD or DVD, then it reads and remembers the TOC size.
When you swap your Boot CD for a backup, it don't read
these items again.......if your PS2 tries to access any
part of the CDr beyond the Boot disc TOC..the PS2 will
promptly stop working.
Older AR/GS below v1.9 had smaller TOCs, hence they would
only boot some CD copys if you had a new PS2!
Why do you think you have to double swap with DVDr?
It's the same old TOC problem........Ps2 reads TOC of DVD
and won't read past that on a DVDr.
Neo 2.2 changed the data going into the PS2 on early
versions..so any TOC was good. On newer versions of the
PS2 this won't work (and thats why you only connect 4 wires
on a v5 PS2 with a Neo2.2)
a Neo2.2 + a V5 PS2 is exactly the same as using a no solder
mod..........its only opening and closing the tray without telling
the PS2. If you want to boot bigger TOC cds than the boot CD
you have to fit a Neo 2.6 (x-key)..............
Burning out your laser may be because the Neo 2.2 is a 5v chip
and it is connected to a 3.3v system......but I doubt that would
cause much harm! (some of the other chips use 5v as well)
Oh...and the large amount of noise you notice on playing DVD to
CDr rips is cos the files are not in the same order and the laser
hunts up and down as it loads them......nothing to do with TOC
