when you make a backup of a ps2 game do you have to back it up to a dvd-r or can you back it up to a cd-r?

It depends if the PS2 game is a dvd-rom game (silver disc) or cd-rom game (blue disc). Although I think you can rip dvd-roms onto cd-r but I don't know how. I use Disc Juggler to do PS2 cd-rom games and every backup has been successful. Go to www.padus.com and download a trial (which I have), it's fully working.

Moving this to the PS2 forum.

yes you can rip all but about 3 ps2 dvd disks. you have to look for rip kits on the net.

you take stuff like cut scens out and some audio

ace, try reading the FAQs, they are right on the top of the forum. They answer all your questions.

It's easier to just buy them or download them then to actually rip it yourself... why waste your own time when someone has already done it for you... i mean you can get the games fora couple of bucks each that's like a 99% savings anyway....
