How to boot DVD-R with Action Replay V2??

jedi_x · #1 04-01-2002, 03:27

I have a PAL PS2 with Neo 2.x chip & Action Replay V2. I can boot normal CD-R games with no probs, but I recently bought Metal Gear 2 on DVD-R and I'm desperate to play it. For some reason I can't get it to boot with my Action Replay. Can anyone please tell me the procedure to boot DVD-R games??

Thanx!!

Boot method as per Dust2Dust's post just a little way down. Needs AR2/1.7 or 1.9 though.

Just found this for you to try. Please let us know

- 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
