Ok i have a ver 4 ps2 with a neo 2.6 but im getting sick of it. games that i download have a 50/50 chance of working :(

Does this ever happen to any of you neo 2.6 users. i have burned mark of kri which worked for 2 days then stopped. fifa 2002, nfl blitz 2k3, and mlb slugfest are the samething.
the disc spins[spins really hard] then stops or loads but shows the screen with the disc and the memory card. the disc is labled playstation 2 disc but i load it then it does it again back to the same screen. Some games like NFL blitz load to
the black screen ans stay there. i use mode 2 because mode 1 works only on small games.
which neo 2.6 wire could it be? or is it another problem?
i used varius media but results show no difference. burning however is correct


-----------------------------
im considering to buy a neo 2.2 or a neokey [dont wanna get the messiah]
which one would be better?
If not is this just a problem with the chip that can be resolved?

thanks

when you load up mode 2 does it allow itself to read the disc like at least 10 secs?

Check if all your soilder points are proplerly soildered, these 50/50 odds are usaully mean that a point isn't soildered too good.

The reason you have problems is because of the Neo chip... I had the same problem until I tried this boot method and since you have a ver 4 PS2 it should work for you as it has me..... here you are!


Neo 2.2 and GS2/AR2 v1.9/DVD Region-X BOOTING Problems SOLVED!! For the most part...


I had heard about a new boot method for the 80min DVDrip backups for the PS2 the other day but today a friend was able to show it to me so I could understand what was going on and now you know...

Just do this....(Make sure PS2 is STANDING UP!)

Load up the GS2/AR2 v1.9 or DVD region-X disc. (For the ver4 PS2!)
Press the "Reset Button" and hold it while it goes into the PS2, the button will turn "red".
Now let it sit for 5 seconds and then press the "Reset button" again and HOLD it down.
Now wait 'til the logo screen comes up, the "PlayStation 2" screen! (You will hear a noise as it comes up! NOT THE 1st SONY screen!) At that moment LET GO of the "Reset button".
The disc will come out but DO NOT take it out!! (It will be spinning!)
Let it GO BACK INTO the system and it will load.
Now you can take your time and change out the disc for the backup, a normal backup boot method. You know the routine!
Just remember that when you hit "Eject" for the backup to go in the PS2 that you must click the "X" key on the GS2/AR2 at the time the disc is going in the system. The timing there is important. You hit
"Eject" and the "X" key right after one another.
Or the "Start" key on the DVD region-X disc the same way!

There you have it. I got "GT Concept" to boot which I've never had been able to do before and a few others like "WipeOut Fusion" also with NO problems. Give it a try and see what happens.

With the CDrom and small DVDrip backups you can use the EA or regular boot methods the way you like. I was told that this new method boots ALL backups but a few I couldn't get to but it is a BIG step in the right direction for those who have had alot of prblems like me... Take care and ENJOY!!


((UPDATE!! THIS WILL ALSO BOOT PSX BACKUPS only when you do the SWAP all you do is click on the BLACK DISC image of the PSX backup that pops up, then the PSX backup WILL boot.))
