I just got a couple of DVDRs today, and have been unable to boot them using the NeoKey/Swap Magic combination. I'm using Metal Gear Solid 2 & Max Payne. Anyone have any luck getting these (or any other DVDRs) to work?

Also, does anyone know of a way to boot Kalisto games (ie-Spiderman) with the above combination? I read that if it's a Kalisto rip that contains a ntsc/pal selector, the swap magic discs will not boot it.

Thanks

neokey wont work with dvd-rs. you still need to do the knife trick.

damn,... for some reason I thought that the Swap Magic discs would allow the neokey to boot DVDRs....

I also noticed that I forgot to mention that the Kalisto copy of Spiderman I have is on CDR

Thanks for the reply Bgnome

think that the r-key boots dvdr - not neokey - not 100% sure though...

it is the r-mod, no-solder mod in conjunction witht the swap discs that allow dvdr paly

Okay,... thanks for the replies guys. I guess I was just wondering if someone has found a way to boot DVDRs with the neokey.

Cheers

Okay, I went through my collection of games yesterday to see which would work with the swap magic discs and which ones wouldn't. Out of about 60 games (CDRs) only three of them wouldn't boot. However, these three games would boot using a gameshark. As far as the Kalisto thing goes, I found that I had some games ripped by Kalisto that booted just fine with the swap magic/ neokey combo. But two of the three that don't work are Kalisto rips. Here are the three games:

Spiderman (Kalisto rip)
Hitman 2
The Mark of Kri

I can't remember which other one above is the Kalisto rip. But I checked the size of the bin for Hitman 2, and it was something like 690mb, so I can see why that wouldn't boot, but I'm also surprised that the gameshark would boot it.

The Spiderman copy is ~480mb, so I don't know why it wouldn't boot with the swap magic disc.

I don't think I checked the size of 'Kri', but I think it above 650mb.

Can anyone suggest a way I could get these to work with the swap magic discs? I don't think that Hitman and Kri can be booted with the swap magic discs, but I can't see why Spiderman won't work.

thanks

My full copy (DVD-R) about 4.1 gig will not boot with a neo 2.2 and a swap magic disk.
its weird and annoying is there a patch out there?

I take it your talking about Spiderman? I've patched it with the EA patch, and that didn't work. Then I also found a patch called EAfix. Don't know if it's the same thing, but I tried that too and it didn't work.
