My DVD burner for some reason only supports DVD+R's so I just wanted to know if this kind of meida is ok to burn PS2 games. I also wanted to know the advantages and disadvantages.

Thank you:D

Its just a certain format. -R's are more compatable, especailly with older dvd players.Some PS2's cant read +R's all you can do is try. Not all game systems prodoce the same results.

Yup, it's merely a difference in formatting and -R is more compatible with all versions of the PS2. If you burner offers the booktype option you can select the DVD-ROM option and it will make a big improvement in your compatibility.

here is a link to the modded ps2 I will be getting this is compatible?

also I heard that the ps2 laser wans't that good so will the DVD+R's mess up my laser?

thanks a lot

Well, it really depends. Most Version 9s will read DVD+R just fine but a few people have reported issues. Just make sure it's a quality +R disc (ie Ricoh dye) and it should be just fine.

ok thanx you very much hopefully it will work so there will be no problems ill try Ritek or something

Yeah, Ritek DVD+R are supposed to carry the Ricoh dye. BTW do you know if you have the booktype option on your drive?

im not sure how do u check for it?

what's the brand / model of your burner?

a TDK DVDRW420N

I believe that this is a rebadged NEC 1100, and I don't think it supports bitsetting. That said, there are hacks to flash the drive to a 1300 with a firmware that has been modified to support bitsetting. Flashing your drive with a hacked firmware is risky, so if you don't mind the possibility of trashing your drive and having to purchase a new one, there is a way..... Oh yeah, if you do decide it's worth the risk, your drive would support -R too. Have a look around google if you are still interested ;)

Thanks for the info I'll look in to it
