I've always been to these forums gathering info and finally decided to get the flip top based on a few reviews.
Just thought I had an obligation to report my findings for all of you that are skeptical of them.
After a 30 minute install, only tools needed was a phillips and a flat head screw driver, an extra screw laying around the house, and some scotch tape.
I have only tried one disk but it worked like a charm. No trouble at all.
I backed up my copy of GTA vice city.
I have the new HP 300i burner.
I use fugifilm dvd+r's - the rw's appear to not work.
i used DVD Decrypter to rip the dvd to an ISO file.
Then used the same program to burn the disc and an instant backup in 30 minutes.
10min to rip about 20 to burn.
Very simple process and don't need soldering experience.
I am not an affiliate of the people that make the flip top cover, just a customer that is so far, very satisfied.
I will continue to update the disks I have successfully backedup.
Thanks to all for the info.
Anyone has any questions, just let me know.

I use DVD Decrypter for both movies and games.
When you rip your original game to an iso file, then burn the iso file to a dvd in one program it just doesnt get any easier.

Do you have Dues Ex or Max Payne. Try those using a backup and see if it continues to work after the intro.
I have been trying to get someone to test these on a Flip top. I don't think they will work.

I have done at least 12 Flip Top's. I'm doing it in about 15 minutes. The hardest part if any is trying to keep the ribbon cable for the reset/eject button from being pinched when closing the case. I use 6x3/8" metal pan had screws from Lowes.(22 for under $2)
I have used DVD Decryptor to Rip and Burn.
I for some reason prefer Record Now and choose data then build Global Image.
I have backed up successfully:
NBA LIVE 2003,NBA 2K3,MORTAL KOMBAT DA,SOCOM US NAVY SEALS,CONFLICT DESSERT STORM,MADDEN NFL 2002,TEKKEN 4,TEST DRIVE,BATMAN VENGEANCE,MLB SLUGFEST 2003,NFL 2K3, GTA 3, STAR WARS THE CLONE WARS,RATCHET & CLANK,KINGDOM HEARTS.
I let my 7 and 5 year olds play the backups not the originals. (-:

Have not tried it yet.
I worked all weekend and havent had a lot of time. Hopefully this week I can get to more backups and i will continue to update my list.
If anyone has shadow Man 2,I would like to see if someone can get that one to go. I can get it to load but it freezes.

i love my flip top cover. Much better than the no-solder chip. I use nero to image the discs and also to burn. it costs more than the no-solder chip, but i had a chip smoke two ps2's. it may have been just a bad chip, not sure, it was drawing alot of current at the tray motor and i think i just popped fuses on the board. but i couldn't wait so i got my flip top cover and now i'll never use or recommend to anyone the use of a no-solder chip. In answer to a post above - i have successfully backed-up max payne with nero. no problems. feel free to msg me if any help is needed.

I tried nero to backup shadowman 2 and it worked.
So now i think i may stick to nero.
I will be testing with that more.
Nero = 1/1
DVD Decrypter = 3/4

I love this thing!

Darthnip:
MaxPayne plays after the Intro ?
Doesn't with a Magic 3.1
The intro plays then it goes to the red screen.
The thinking was that it looked for the boot code on the disk after the intro.
Yet you say it will work with a flip top which would also not have the boot sequence.
If it really plays past the intro then it must be something other than seeking the boot code.
It will play with a Magic 3.0 but not 3.1 and the only difference is the 3.1 goes to sleep.
You did try it past the intro and actually start playing the game ?

Did you check the message above and see the speed he used to rip and record?
I wouldnt have thought of it but i think some games need to be burned at a slower speed for some reason. I believe that is why I got Shadowman 2 to backup properly after a few coasters....no biggie...only cd-rs that cost a few cents!
If they were dvd's..... >:(

No that's not the issue. The game plays fine on Messiah 2 just not Magic 3.1.
The same game played before changing from a 3.0 to a 3.1 and it works fine in my PS2 with the Messiah 2
It's hard to believe it will work in a flip top.
