I've tried numerous times to burn/backup my PS2 games...yet they don't work. The programs I have are Nero StartSmart and Nero Express 6.

Can anybody give me STEP-BY-STEP directs on how to burn/backup my PS2 games?

Thanks!

Well, assuming you have a modded PS2 (chip or swap magic), then what you need to do is make an Image copy of the PS2. One of the best and easiest programs to use is DVDDecrypter:

http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/

Once you have that running, insert the PS2 game in your DVD-R drive. Select MODE > ISO > READ.

Then select the destination folder on your harddrive. Now, simply hit run.

The program will read the game data and back it up to the folder you specified on your harddrive.

Once it is done, eject the PS2 game and insert a blank DVD-R disc. Now, select MODE > ISO > WRITE.

Select the ISO file (not the MDS file if you created one) from the folder that you just backed the game data to. Next, select your write speed. This part can be critical depending on your PS2, type of mod, etc. It’s best to do a 1x write to the disc. I’ve had many games not function properly at write speeds above 1x, and depending on your system, it doesn’t take that much longer to burn at 1x as opposed to “Max” speed”. In fact, I haven’t really noticed a difference.

Now hit run, and it will burn your game. Once it’s done you’re ready to play.

Nah.
Rubbish.
Do exactly what you were doing atm to burn your games, just use Ritek or Ridata DVD's. your probably using cheap, low quality disks that without you knowing, is causing your ps2 much damage everytime you force it to read those cheap disks.
Ritek or Ridata DVD's are as good as the original ps2 disks you buy in the shops
Believe Me

@PlayStation®2

i have seen you make comments like that on a few threads,although ritek are a good brand,they are are not like using the originals,so stop talking rubbish

before you make anymore coments like that,make sure you know what you are talking about.

ive done exactly what you said but the game just goes back to the ps2 browser ive tried using alcohol 120% and other methods but i get the same results any idea as to whats wrong?

you can't play the game unless your PS2 is modded.
OR you can get the Swap Magic which is a boot disc.

I use Swap Magic on the Slim PS2 and works great.

good luck.

I'm pretty sure I've got this all figured out, but I have a question about dvds before I go out and waste money buying something I wont be able to use. what's the difference between dvd- and dvd+? and which one is better for burning ps2 games?

@4SKIN

Listen to me mate. ive been in the business for years, i DO know what i'm talking about, you just cant go wrong with ritek dvd's. if he is doing what he is doing currently and using ritek's, his computer may possibly have a serious error, either that or he may have something wrong with his ps2.
ritek's are obviously not as good as originals..everyone knows that .what kind of a clueless statement is that. he wants to know the best quality media you can purchase and burn yourself, he wants to play backups, original disks have nothing to do with his question. As far as we're concerned ritek IS the equivalent to original ps2 disks for a modded ps2, anything else IS rubbish.
I know what i'm talking about, you dont.

@4SKIN


ritek's are obviously not as good as originals..everyone knows that .what kind of a clueless statement is that.
I know what i'm talking about, you dont.

your the one that made that statement,not me,maybe you need to re0read your original post

and as for me not knowing what i am talking about,well that is a matter of opinion
i have been backing up games well before most people.so i think i have somne sort of idea what i am saying
i have tested pretty much every brand of disk/dye you can get

ritek are are 2nd rate media,they stopped using the best dye,some time ago.

ty's are verbatims with dye from japan are the best

i am not saying ritek are totally useless.but do your homework,before making statements like that,or at least have the knowledge or proof to back it up

and if you still think that ritek is the best of best,then check this out

ive done exactly what you said but the game just goes back to the ps2 browser ive tried using alcohol 120% and other methods but i get the same results any idea as to whats wrong?

i tell u this: i read that u burn and dump so much cds and dvds i
ll explain it simply:

use sonic record now deluxe use the discopy copy option.. if source game on cd then insert a cdr media same about dvd media games.

if u get then into the menu and u get disc read error u need to replace lens.

thats a common problem of the ps2-console. $ony made it on purpose i assume, putting short life lens in its ps2.

try also to read a dvdr movie. if it also doesnt detect the media and gives u a disc read error then u should replace lens.. look at http://www.progamer.cc
for lens type.

You couldnt be more wrong.

@4SKIN

Theres a vast difference between having some short history of backing up games, To actuall owning a business specifing in that area of practice. i Do have more experience then you and i Do know what i'm talking about. You look like the one who needs to be doing his homework kid.

never i have heard someone talk so much rubbish,i just love this sort of confrontation,because i know i am right
you havent said anything to back-up your arguement,just some talk of "i do this for a buisness",...well good for you,anyone could say that.
prove your point with some good info that ritek are the best media,and that they, i quote

"Ritek or Ridata DVD's are as good as the original ps2 disks you buy in the shops
Believe Me"

if you cant do that,then what can i say

btw,fyi,i aint no kid

You're the one talking the rubbish. You have no clue what you are on about with this whole subject. Its entirely up to you to chose to believe my story, no one is forcing you to believe it, but as far as actual facts go, i do own a business specifying in this area of practice. I'm positive i know more then you, all you want to do is continue arguing because kid's like you think they are in the right when in actual fact you are way of the subject. I'm using the term "kids like you" because of the childish way you continue behaving and arguing with me. You obvioulsy don't sound like an adult to me and if you are actually over the age of 18, i sugeest you should start acting your age, quick smart. Also as far as anything goes, i do not have to specify anything to back up my argument, the fact that i stated that ive owned a business and worked in this industry for over 8 years, should be all the information you need to know, and if its not, no one is forcing you to believe it, in that case just disregard the information that i was trying to pass on to a person having trouble. Not once did i mention anything about you in my first post, but you had to but in and act like the know it all. Start acting your age, Kid.

hahaha,just take a look at yourself,getting all in a tiss,because someone has challenged your stupid comment.
worked in this industry?,whats that supposed to mean,what making a few backups on a pc,i couldnt careless how long you have been doing this,you are still wrong,why dont you just admit it,and that will be the end of it


lets see....

You have no clue what you are on about with this whole subject

well,are you still saying using those cheap disks will boot backups like the originals?

all you want to do is continue arguing because kid's like you think they are in the right when in actual fact you are way of the subject

hmm,i am way off the subject?....er...why,in what part of my information dont you agree with?

do not have to specify anything to back up my argument, the fact that i stated that ive owned a business and worked in this industry for over 8 years, should be all the information you need to know, and if its not, no one is forcing you to believe it, in that case just disregard the information that i was trying to pass on to a person having trouble.

that because you dont know jack,these are called forums,if you hadnt noticed,and if someone is giving out incorrect info,then other members are going to correct it.
you obviuosly got offended when someone questions what you say,there are people that might actually know more than you.


i say it again,but this is getting boring
all you have come back with,is a load of speel about how long you have been in business,blah blah
but nothing to backup your intial statement

i guess if you cant do that,just un-scribe from this thread,before i really embarrass you,then we will find out just what you actually know about backing up games.
just because you have done a few mode/iso/read,and a few,mode/iso/writes,onto a few cheap dvd's,dont mean you know everything.
just for infomation,i get through more than a few hunded dvd's a day,so i guess i am talking rubbish,as you so politely put it

a big round of applause to 4skin:luxhello:

i know you will say im a newbie!

but this guy knows his stuff

andy:bggift:

will this work the same the the Xbox?

@4SKIN

OK, i'll rephrase what i ment when i stated that ive worked in that industry and own my own business specifying in that industry, it looks like you're the one who is about to get embarrased.

ill explain it even clearer then that because obviously people like you are extra thick to get through to..here it goes: I own a business which provide back up games for sale and installations of ps2 & xbox mod chips. ive worked as an employee for 5 years and know way more tricks of the trade of this business, and now beacause of my knowlege of backing up games/mod chip installation i now own the business.

Thats what i ment when i stated twice that i owned a business specifying in that industry. thats why it is obvious that i know more then you because i install mod chips and back up games every day of the week, unlike yourself who has probably delt with the few 10 or 20 backups.

Is it actually possible to explain it clearly then that.. oh wait there is, i guess ill explain it again in "dumbass terms" for people like yourself, and for people who agree with you" - I IS BOSS OF SHOP WHICH INSTALL MOD CHIP AND SELL BACK UP GAME BUT I NOT ALLWAYS BOSS I WAS A WORKER DERE FOR 5 YEAR BACKING UP GAME AND INSTALL MOD CHIP"


Thats the most illiterate, way i can explain what i do and why i do know more then you about this subject, and as far as threats go, i dont care what you have to say, you will be the one who will un-scribe from this thread because of your idiocity.

i will keep this going as far as it can go untill you admit you are wrong, just goes to show, kids these days need to do their research these days before they get into embarrasing arguments over the internet with proffessionals.

Later Kid.

hahaha,just the same old shite,that keeps coming from you

10-20 backups....?
i have 3 x 10 disk dvd duplicaters,and just shipped out nearly 300 dvd's yesterday.
i think you are missing,and somehow forgot your intial statement
maybe you should read the first post you made,then maybe you might actually,remember what a stupid statement you actually made
what a fool

and my god,i wouldnt be a happy customer of yours ,if i got some second class ritek/ritada disk as my backup

Nah.

Ritek or Ridata DVD's are as good as the original ps2 disks you buy in the shops
Believe Me


in fact,because this is getting so boring,lets try and end this right now

post that statement on other console forums,and there are plenty of them,and lets see what response you get.lets see if anyone agrees with you.
ps2-scene/afterdawn/teammodders/alucard/ps2nfo are just a few i could mention.
then see what replies you get.
you can post the links here if you like
do you honestly believe that your intial statement is correct?
next you will be telling me modbo chips are just like the real thing.


edit,i just seen some of your first posts,you didnt even know that the snes emulator existed until a few months ago,thats how much you know about the console scene.bless
if you want some advice on how to make your own snes dvd,just ask,i am sure this "kid" will show you the way.
that goes for any other emulator you can get,c64/spectrum 48k/nes/pgen/mame etc etc.as i can compile all of them.

Fine, im officially ending it here, im putting it behind me. all i wanted was to be recognized for my work because i was being acused of being a "newbie" while ive had many years of experience in my line of work... anyway....
what did you say about creating a snes rom dvd... i heard somewhere that it is possible to burn snes roms, gens ect, to a disk and acually being able to play them on a modded ps2? is this statment true or false? because at the moment im not sure thats even possible??

it is possible,there are loads of different emu's.

to make a snes emulator,you need the emulator itself,roms,and nero burning rom which you use to compile the udf/iso compilation.
roms are available widespread on torrent sites

basically you download the roms,as many as you like,and place them all in a folder called "Roms"
then you open nero burning rom,udf/iso compilation

with the downloadable emulator,there will be several files,and along with the rom folder,they need to be placed in this order

Roms
Install
System
Snes_Emu.elf

then all you do is burn it to disk

Wow! it reallly works. thanks for that mate.:cheers:

Allthoug some of the games are not running at the correct speed, their running too slow, gameplay sound and all...?

thats because they are the wrong region,and trying to play at the wrong fps.
the only way around this is to turn off the sound,but even that doesnt solve all problems

the pgen (mega drive) emulator is much better.

I downloaded this .rar file that has swapmagicv36.iso , and swapmagicv36.ELF in it i dont got a copy of swap magic so i can play backed up games, ive been trying hard to burn this and get it to work but i just cant do it. I dont have too much experience with any of this. so if someone can please tell me how to get those 2 files to burn together in a dvd, id greatly appreciate it. :bawling:

you can use a downloaded copy of Swapmagic 3.6
its only use is to boot an older version,i.e 2.0

i dont really understand what you mean by that .. :/

sorry i meant its a waste of time trying to use a downloaded copy of SM 3.6,unless you have an original copy of version 2.0

damn..alright man thanks alot.
sorry i meant its a waste of time trying to use a downloaded copy of SM 3.6,unless you have an original copy of version 2.0

Hey!!! My post became a sticky!! Yay! Haha! :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello:

yo wat guys i need your help please i need to know what size memory dvd+r i need to burn my ps2 games please help...

hey do you need swap magic to play games that you burn or can you just burn the game and just go right ahead and play...so confused:eek:

hey do you need swap magic to play games that you burn or can you just burn the game and just go right ahead and play...so confused:eek:
you need a mod device like

swapmagic set
modchip
hdd

are the main 3 methods

so you CANNOT just burn and play

@ 4Skin

Hey mate after reading this thread m sure you are the rite person to answer these questions :tup:

best type is DVD-R

best brand is debatable....i like verbatims or taiyo yuden (top class disks),there are a lot of fakes,especially TY'S.
ritek are also very popular (go4 or go5 dye)
try to get x 8 rated disk's,as the x16 rated ones can cause problems for some ps2's (loading problems),burn speed of x4 is perfect,so no need for x16 anyway

best dvd writer...matter of opinion,any decent burner will do,but pioneer 111/lg/sony are all good cheap drives (no need to spend lots of money here)

best software....free ones
dvd decrypter is free,but no longer available,(well you can find it if you look hard enough)
there is image burn,same as decrypter but wont read images to the hardrive,(so its ok if you plan on downloading games tho)
alcohol 120 is also a good program

i have tryed to burn pes 6 with toast 6 titanium,but the game don't work...please,can someone help me????

I got a question that I can't seem to get answered through my normal searches. Here's the situation.



A few months ago, I was at a Video Game convention. Naturally, people do bring their modded consoles to these things. But there was one special case that I saw.

One guy seemed to be running a PS2 emulator on his Flip-Top modded old PS2. The first thing that got me to believing that this was an emulator is that I saw a menu screen after he booted up with SwapMagic and it gave him a list of games to choose from.

Melty Blood
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
and Street Fighter 3: Third Strike. (J Version)

I also saw two more blank spaces for games. The menu itself was tile based with the artwork for the selectable games on them. Perhaps it may be some weird version of MAME seeings how that emulator has the same kind of Title Picture selection of its Game List. Whatever it was, it looked fairly professional.


I was shocked that such a thing existed, but there was more.


The group loaded up MVC2. Not only did this game run perfectly with no slowdown, but the music tracks were changed. They had a small Eminem track looping for the Character Select screen. "Huh...What?", I managed to stammer as I saw this.



So my question is this, any ideas what they were using and how they were doing it? I know they were running this from a DVD+R loaded from SwapMagic. That's pretty much all I know. The guys themselves wouldn't tell me anything. I guess they were sick and tired of people asking them about it.

This question has been burning in my head since I saw the thing a few months ago. But I'm not so much interested in the fancy emulator menu or playing multiple games on one DVD. (Though, that is pretty nice.) I'm more interested in changing the music tracks and editing the loops. What I wouldn't give to take King of Fighters 2001 and put in some music that doesn't suck that you could play the game to.

the multiple dvd dvd you talk about is quite straight forward to do if you know what your doing,dont know why they were so secretive...
as for the music,you need a special rip-kit to take out the music from a specific game
go to alucard.cc,its more of a spe******t site than this

I NEED HELP..

I am new to Backing up my PS2 games. I have found DVD Decrypter and am using. I do the ISO read OK. But once done there are NO ISO file to then Write. The MSO file is only 5KB and the other 2 files areI00 and I01 files...

What am I doing wrong...HELP....This is very annoying...

What am I doing wrong...HELP....This is very annoying...

use the small MDS file,dvd decypter is set at default to split images,as its useful for users who are still using fat32 (doesnt allow single images over 4gb)
dont worry,it will combine and burn the 2 files you have

Thats what I did. My PS2 still not reading the disc tho...When I out it back in the PC the files appear to be there...

Is it an issue if I set it to NEVER split files???

no,you dont need to split the files

Hi, can someone please tell me if I should be using dual layer format dvd-r's or single layer for backing up?

Thanks to 4skin for useful information provided thus far :cheers:

Most games are dvd-5,therefore a decent dvd-r will do for 99.9% of games

Thanks mate.:tup:

Ok, got it sussed for dvd5. But now how do I backup games that are more than 4.5gb? eg, Midnight Club 3 - that's got an 8gb iso!

Is there a special trick to this? And is it be possible to get the game size down to 4.5gb by eg. stripping out movies etc?

Links & guidance would be appreciated.

Cheers.

i stumbled on this forum looking for information on my PS2 game (everytime i put i popped the disk in it would go black and return to the browser) but watever ill live. lmao i was reading what fxckin 4skin and Playstation or watever were arguing about, i was laughing my a$$ off. you both do realize you are the biggest queer bag fagot computer nerds ive ever seen haaahahaha. read that sh1t hahaha arguing on what kind of CD's are better hahahahaha!!!! get a life good luck on the business you own! LMFAO kill yourself.....mate. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

:gabby: :gabby: :gabby:

queer ******s are we?
what the **** has it got to do with you?

sort out your grammar you numb nutted wank splat

btw,i have just signed up your email addy to several email bombers

how do you like me now?,who's lmao now eh?

Hello

Firstly after reading this thread WHERES PLAYSTATION@2 GONE???? lol

Im looking for an answer about Windows Vista and 120%

I had no problems backing up games when i was running Windows XP using 120%

but Vista will not upgrade from XP unless 120% in uninstalled and when Vista is installed (even from clean install) it wont let 120% install at all???

Its bugging me as i have a game that really needs backing up, i have DVD decrypter somewhere on DVD backup but only ever used it to backup DVD's till i found CloneDVD 2 and AnyDVD, i didn't wont to install DVD decrytper as i didn't wont to clam my computer up again with load sof software that rarely gets used for backing stuff up, 120% i would use alot more!

does anyone know of a way around this problem or is DVD decrypter the only way

thank you

Sorry for my spelling, am in a rush :uhwell:

you can use imageburn or clonedvd 2 for games
dvd decrypter was just another option

Oh right

Which CloneDVD as there is 2 i have the E.. Bates Version also do i have to change any of the settings as i thought this was just for DVD-Videos, if its the right one it will be great as i use this one everyother day!!

Thank you

Just tryed the CloneDVD i have and it came up with the error Unable to read the Video file from the disk!

sorry,i forgot you needed to read them first
clonedvd 2 is just capable of burning them
alcohol 120 is another choice

hahaahaha ****** just told me to sort out my grammar, oh yeah dude ur hardcore wtf am i supposed to do now?!?! o jeez email bombers pfff dude seriously u need to like get ur sh1t str8. ur probably some ddue who sits at a computer all day n watver haha dude u honestly need to get laid r sumthin and find a girl dude, haha oh yeah, that email i gave was completely fake u idiot ur a reall harda$$ hahahaha email bombers... :gabby:

I cant use 120% as im running Vista which will not let you instal 120% or if your on XP and try to upgrade to Vista with 120% installed it wont let you!

That was my original problem, but it doesn't matter now i installed DVD decrypter and 4SKIN you will love this one:

I had brought Ritec (ridata) discs from my local shop as my normal ones was sold out, never used these before and then read this thread and the argument and thought i shouldn't have a problem, out of around 40 PS2 games i have backed up i have never had a coaster yet, until last night i tried using them ridata discs and both times they was coasters, the printable surface on these discs are of a poor quality aswell - im not impressed with them at all.

Are you just a target or something as these people are not liking you!
Funny tho this guy is tring to say your a geek yet his name is magicninja sounds like a D&D player, but i guess if sitting infront of computers all day makes us geeks then most of the nation must be as there is not many professions that doesn't require the use of a computer, most professions use computers all day, im a carpenter and i often spend hours infront of computers drawing up designs etc, even when i was a bouncer i was infront of computers typing up reports and rotors so i guess im a geek to!

Anyway thanks 4SKIN for the help!

haha oh yeah, that email i gave was completely fake u idiot ur a reall harda$$ hahahaha email bombers... :gabby:

This site requires that you have a REAL working email address and that email has to be conformed via an activation link thats sent to that email address, you have to do this before your allowed to post, so unless your someone that sits infront of a computer all day that knows how to get around them (which im not sure there is a way) it can't be a fake email or you wouldn't be able to post!

oh,yeah fake email eh?,...we will see....
i was just going to sign it up to a few nasty spam bots,but now you come back here with more insults,i might take it a bit further

i already have a ip address of yours
lets hope for your sake you are using hide ip,with a proxy server,and i hope your not using windows shitty firewall
The ip that i have is being reported as i speak,to one that uses child **** websites
then we will see who's laughing...

btw,i am not a geek,i am a nerd,and a good one at that,and there is a difference.

You dont even know how to use swapmagic...you juvenile little kid

@thegun
dvd decrypter does run with vista
try running in xp mode sp2

and also disable user control (uap)
google for instructions

4SKIN i think you may have read my post wrong, i said it doesn't matter about my original problem as i installed DVD decypter and used that!

UAP was the first thing i disabled upon installing Vista,

Even my original problem i have sorted as it was only older verisons of 120% Vista had been programed to block, the verison i had i thought was the latest but after checking (which i should have done first :~) I now have 120% working fine on Vista after getting the latest verison!

Thank you anyway!

lol ok dude, and FYI i have been to juvy, for battery cuz little GEEKS like you piss me off with your know it all attitude, haha im not scared of u a$$hole, i dont care wat u do with my IP address. child p0rn, sweet dude ur hardcore hahahahaaa, you would be the one to think of child p0rn. u need to stop bcus al you can do is be a little b1tch and try to use your geek ways to try to mess up my computer or something,well i havnt seen nothin yet d1ckhead. oh and that little queerbag TheGun, i signed up wit han email address that i never use i just use it to sign up for stupid crap like this, haha dude your a *** too, u have no life, and u cant talk for anything 4skin, your a little dushbag, and u need to go get butt****ed by your manslave and stfu lol u piece of trash scumbag.

Funny tho this guy is tring to say your a geek yet his name is magicninja sounds like a D&D player

You signed up on here to get help from us Geeks so what does that say about your comments.

The fact your starting arguments on here and keep comming back says your just as geeky as any of us, GROW UP.

Im on here to get help and help others if i can not argue so go back to your silly gang and pick on people on there own while your in groups on street corners and parks.

Im ending it here, anymore of your silly immature replys will be ignored - infact i probably wont even check this thread again!

hi, i'm new so i don't know if this is okay or not, but it seems like 4skin knows a lot about back ups and backs up a lot of games. I recently got a ps2, and its really hard to find certain games. I was wondering if i could purchase some from him or if i could be directed to someone who would sell me back ups of games i can't find anymore. Thanks.

lmao.....You wont see anything happen yet,reported ip addy's get monitored for lenghty periods,depending on the seriousness of the complaint
btw,i have a few websites,and i have reported you to your isp for indecent behaviour,and spamming my sites with indecent pictures
they will be monioring also.

and fyi,i also have unscribed from this thread,as its going no-where

not really 4skin, homies were actually over laughin there asses off at you scummy son of a b1tches

@ 4SKIN, because he seems to know his stuff about this...

Right...I have tried so many times to create a backup disk to play on my ps2 and I just can't do it. I have tried with both DVD-RW and DVD+RW..but i don't know whether it is the ISO file or disks that are playin up. I use swap magic.

This may sound really lazy and cheeky but do you make backups to sell? Because I really can't make backups....

Thanks..

You cant use dvd-rw/dvd+rw disk
use dvd-r

Allright 4skin I made an account on this site just to ask you this question, so I'm really hoping you can help. I recently "came across" some old Playstation ISO files and I would LOVE to play them on my PS2 however I dont know how exactly to go about that. Not only am I sure it's a bit more complicated then just burning the ISO files to a CDR but my PS2 is an old version not one that spits out the drive with an eject button unlike its new sleek younger brother that opens up from the top so I cant exactly trick it into thinking its shut when its not. Any tips on how I gotta burn this and play it on there?

Oh and I'd rather not mod it btw.

you need to spend some money on a swapmagic set

4SKIN, much like the last guy to ask you a question, I signed-up for this forum just to ask you a couple questions.

-To burn a back up copy of the Ps2 game, do you just copy the ISO file straight to the DVD-R disk? And are will there be multiple ISO files to burn or just 1 large one?

-Will a back-up copy of a Ps2 game work for Ps3 systems since they have the backward compatibility feature?

-Also can you back up Ps3 games the same way you do a Ps2 game?

Thanks 4SKIN. Thanks to anyone else who can help me out also.

in regards to @ 4Skin advice
and @ keltin2002

i've tried the following:
1. d.load dvd decrypter (took me a long time to sniff around and finally got if after a few hundred clicks of "this item had been removed due to legal reasons...)
2. have a ps2 game. have a modded magic chip PS2 console (china made)
3. run/install the program
4. did the instructions @ keltin2002 stated (burn at 1X speed)
5. used a 8X-speed DVD+R disc instead of a DVD-R
(burning took approx. 10mins on Athlon-X2 dual core + samsung dvd burner)
6. tried the backed up game on my ps2 console
7. guess what. WORKED LIKE A CHARM.!!! the game loaded and run perfectly.

a big thanks to keltin2002 and 4Skin. but i've noticed a little lag in the backed up game, i mean slow startup. issit normal? or maybe it is the game.
anyways thanks. :luxhello:

Might be the game,might be the quality of disk used
always use good disk's,i.e verbatims for e.g

I had a post...but I solved most of my problem...And I couldn't figure out how to just delete my own post IF even possible.

alright.... i know how to burn ps2 games and i don't need to ask any question on how to do so. My question is: I have a .iso file and inside that file there's multiple .bin file; now of course if i just burn the game with the .bin file my ps2 wont read it and if i try to extract the .bin file from the .iso file it gives me that error message "invalid or unknown image file format", so is there anyone out there in the world who came across the same problem and actually solved it?

I used Ultra iso and magic iso; Both software gives me the same error message.

any help would be really appreciated!

I have been searching the web for weeks, and even went to the Mac store in NYC where a tool employee told me there was a way to do it, but said he would not tell me. He said I should Google it.

Q: I only have mac computers and any info I find on burning ps2 backup games is for PCs. Does anyone know how to copy a game for PS2? What software to use? I have a fliptop installed and DVD-R dvds ready to go. I have a single layer burner on my laptop.

Any help would be increibly appreciated!
Thanks

i have seen you make comments like that on a few threads,although ritek are a good brand,they are are not like using the originals,so stop talking rubbish

[QUOTE=yic17]you can't play the game unless your PS2 is modded.
OR you can get the Swap Magic which is a boot disc.

I use Swap Magic on the Slim PS2 and works great.

good luck.[/QUOTE

can you email me at cabinda4ever@yahoo.com and tell me step by step...because i also did the fallowing things; I have flip top on my slim ps2 and all ready to go. ste one put the magic swap on and it gets to the part where it says load program (i hit x) then goes red then back to Load program i try to eject using the ps2 button it says load larger TOC something like that but when I put a original ps2 game it reads it and goes to play it like naruto....but i think its supposed to recognise the TOC then tell me to put the back up rite? my goal is to play the backup not my own original game. I used a decent Dvd+r and burned it with alchohol thank you.

i am new at this are all ps2 games dvd ?

You're the one talking the rubbish. You have no clue what you are on about with this whole subject. Its entirely up to you to chose to believe my story, no one is forcing you to believe it, but as far as actual facts go, i do own a business specifying in this area of practice. I'm positive i know more then you, all you want to do is continue arguing because kid's like you think they are in the right when in actual fact you are way of the subject. I'm using the term "kids like you" because of the childish way you continue behaving and arguing with me. You obvioulsy don't sound like an adult to me and if you are actually over the age of 18, i sugeest you should start acting your age, quick smart. Also as far as anything goes, i do not have to specify anything to back up my argument, the fact that i stated that ive owned a business and worked in this industry for over 8 years, should be all the information you need to know, and if its not, no one is forcing you to believe it, in that case just disregard the information that i was trying to pass on to a person having trouble. Not once did i mention anything about you in my first post, but you had to but in and act like the know it all. Start acting your age, Kid.

Can you please help me with swap magic don't worry I know alot about it it will only take a sec. If you can please PM me at gilmarboa@yahoo.com.br and we can chat on the new kind like a technical guy ITS ALL up to you thank you

my mate has copyed a ps2 game and got it working without a mod chip or swapmagic but he payed

$120 for 1X Sony DvD-R KN8B3VC disk (close to the same ones as a PS2 game comes on)

$150 for a copy of Overburn suit pro (A copying program that can burn things that raquire strange data positoning and data spaceing, with a auto dummy file option quite handy)

total: $270 just so he could copy FFX without any bugs sins then he has tryed to copy 3 other games useing a pack of Benq 16X DvD-R and they have all displayed "Please insert a playstation 2 format disk" so really its the disks that determin whether it works or not but you need a good burning program like Overburn suit pro, Alcahol 120% or DvD Decrypter because PS2 format disks arnt burnt in a normal format they are burnt sort of backwards :) the loading screens are on the outside of this disk and the game play is on my center of the disk. Overburn suit pro has a Playstation 2 format burning option i think alcahol 120% dose aswell anyways if your willing to spend $120 for 1 disk then you don't need swap magic or a mod chip but i would prefer to get my console moded :)

Some good info here, many thanks, its going to get me well on my way as a newb to this area of game backup.

Just waiting on the Ps2 turning up tomorrow hopefully.
Got a HDD adapter, 160GB Hard disk, DMS4Lite to install in it when it arrives.

Seems that a lot of things are universal though across all consoles. Quality media is key to success in a lot of cases.
After starting in this "game" with Ps1 backups many years ago, Verbs where the way to go (unless you could get hold of Philips Silver Premium CDRS, which where like dodo poop to get for some time!). Same thing when I started with Xbox 1 games, verbs . Same on 360 backups, Verbs again.
And now getting into PS2 stuff, verbs seems to be the media of choice :D

whew i read this whole thing from page one till now, gahh it looks like u got some bullcrappers here. oh well im new to the ps2 modding scene and i plan on purchasing a fliptop mod for my v7 fat ps2 and also swap majic and the one for psx backups i can't remember its name, well. I read that you reccomend the verbatims, but i noticed at the website that they only have the x16's but i have some unused hp's that are x8's what would be the best path to take I also have researched the Taiyo Yuden's which i have only seen at x8 is there anywhere to find the standard x4's?

me got meself da PS2 PAL model no: SCPH-50004 (PS2 v11 I think) have copied a couple of games with DVDdecryptor seemed to have copied fine however i have tried booting my system with Gameshark2 v4 Swapmagic CD&DVD v3.6 &"PS2 Boot cd" nothing works infact all of the above metioned when booting up still shows the insert playstation or playstation2 disc can any one help please :madhack:

Hey everyone. I'm hoping this thread isn't dead yet.... I've made backups in the past of my ps2 games, with dvd decrypter and I had no problems before. However, I ran into a problem when trying to back one up today. The file was was over 5 gb....
Anyone know what to do when you get this? I've heard of somehow taking out files, but unfortunately I'm not so tech savy to just start throwing files out willynilly (you gang bangers oughta love that word).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok guys, i need help,
so i got the backup and everything.
my ps2's a version 5/6 scph-3001 R
its modded.

anyways,
i got the backup ready and everything, i tried a DVD+R and a DVD-r
the dvd+r is always leading me to the red screen saying pls insert ps2 format.
and like 5% of the time, it actually boots, then just hang up at the main menu.
the dvd-r wont load at all.

my burn process is 1x (sloweeessst)

its not a bad lens either, cos i cleaned it and adjusted the height and everything.

its modded (100% sure)

original games work perfectly

tnx

is there a way to burn disk if your ps2 doesnt ahve a mod chip?

also how does swap magic work?

Well, assuming you have a modded PS2 (chip or swap magic), then what you need to do is make an Image copy of the PS2. One of the best and easiest programs to use is DVDDecrypter:

http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/

Once you have that running, insert the PS2 game in your DVD-R drive. Select MODE > ISO > READ.

Then select the destination folder on your harddrive. Now, simply hit run.

The program will read the game data and back it up to the folder you specified on your harddrive.

Once it is done, eject the PS2 game and insert a blank DVD-R disc. Now, select MODE > ISO > WRITE.

Select the ISO file (not the MDS file if you created one) from the folder that you just backed the game data to. Next, select your write speed. This part can be critical depending on your PS2, type of mod, etc. It’s best to do a 1x write to the disc. I’ve had many games not function properly at write speeds above 1x, and depending on your system, it doesn’t take that much longer to burn at 1x as opposed to “Max” speed”. In fact, I haven’t really noticed a difference.

Now hit run, and it will burn your game. Once it’s done you’re ready to play. I have done everything u have post, but the program keep telling me to choose mds file and won't let me choose iso, i just move the mds file but it won't run. do i have to make some adjustments in the options menu and later copy again the ps2 game??? when i was coping the game some times the speed was 200kbs(o.2x) can this affect the process???????????
I SHALL APPRECIATE ANY HELP.

I've tried numerous times to burn/backup my PS2 games...yet they don't work. The programs I have are Nero StartSmart and Nero Express 6.

Can anybody give me STEP-BY-STEP directs on how to burn/backup my PS2 games?

Thanks!

u want 2 use dvd sringer that works but i use nero and i dont seem to have a problem it could just be the game is ever to big our u cant copy it the way u hv gd look any way

Hi, im a newbie at this PS@ ISO burning.

The 1st time i burned PS2 ISO, i used 8X dvd-r (lousy no brand ones) and they worked 70-80% of the time.

So i recently i ran out of these DVDs, and bought 16x dvd-r (TDK brand), and all of a sudden, the PS2 can't read these DVDs. Whenever i popped it into the PS2, it will 90% of the time not read, and just go to the PS2 browser. Or they would 10% of the time load, but the game is NOT playable.

So the question i would like to ask is, are 16X dvd-r not suitable for burning PS2 games? and does the brand of the DVD matter? (from what i read i think that brand DVDs are better).

I currently have TDK 16X DVD-R, and i use NERO, Imgburn, or Alcohol 120% to burn games, and the speed i use to burn is 4X, its the slowest for my DVD burner. I currently use a LG dvd burner which is capable of burning up to 20X speed.

Please give me some advise here, thanks!!

WHERES 4SKIN when u need him! i've noticed he's been missing for a long time!! the newbies here need your HELP!!!

Here is something I recently added on diferent forums :

After over 2 weeks of trying and failing with every option there is, I found a way to burn a .mds file (and I really mean .mds cuz in that case you wont need the .mdf). Every damn convertion fails and even if you think you have a valid iso by converting a .mdf file, trust me, your Ps2 wont read the Cd!.
I never thought it would come to this, but the only way for a Mac user to burn these Ps2 games, is to install these two apps :

- Virtual Pc (version 7 works just fine and is pretty easy to "find")
- Alcohol 120% (I tried version 1.9.6.4719, and it works)
- and of course you have to have something like Swap Magic or a chip with your Ps2 console, otherwise, goodluck!

I wont tell you where and how to find and use these 2 applications, but know that I did find everything I needed on the Internet and its the only way that it really works!

In the end, it doesn't use too much space on my computer (by the way, Virtual Pc does NOT require the partioning of you hard drive!, it's really just like a conventional application. And after only one day, I can tell you that you'll find the whole thing pretty easy to use!

Finally it works!!!!

Kim :)

That was a no-contest flaming.. He's a complete dolt... Foreskin basically schooled ps2
You should have asked him some qualifying questions about burning.
I've been in the game since 81 with APS guild out of Michigan
and I can tell you wtf is up. Anyhow I would have asked him, what is the command in TDAO (which was the only dos based disc at once writer then. Remember windows didn't exist yet) to force discreet packet writing?
Reason he'd HAVE to know this is b/c it was the ONLY way to get a foreign file system on a CD to keep the same geometry as the TOC. (foreign to the native kanji/ISO9660 that dos was using back then)

Anyhow that being said, I have a question b/c I am lazy.
USING VERBATIM DVD-R. A lot of games work only a few don't.

I have a matrix green dot and I've been using cloneCD for all my dupes. CD or DVD. It's been great but ocassionally I run into a game that just doesn't work. It copies, but the drive goes ape **** and it locks up and then runs and then locks up.. It's hard to explain. Imagine a horribly dirty dvd. That's about how it behaves.. It's simply not playable. I have to assume that the game (manhunt, guitar heroes 2, and madden on DL) has some obnoxious fuggin direct seek markers within THE GAME itself rather than relying on the PS2 OS to perform the track seek. So the game says instead of "get file such and such" it says "Go to sector #20394 and instead of the needed data being where it should it's some other portion b/c cloneCD did a bang-up job of matching the TOC to the actual file mapping.. SO....

*inhale*

What's the best point-n-shoot software that I can do a burn of DVD ps2 games (including DL) so this no longer happens? (Also can I take my copy and re-rip it using your better method to "restore" or "repair" the new copy or should I just rent the original DVD again?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

And mate, playstation2, mate, I don't know how it's done down under but in the ole USA, first you kick major *** THEN you talk all sorts of **** about it... never the other way around....

Speaking of mate, how about Check Mate.

Get a copy of HD Advanced 3.0 (NOT DOWNLOAD ONE AND BURN IT. BUY IT) get yourself a Maxtor/Seagate HDD size 40gb to 200gb and a PS2 network addaptor any PS2 offline games just load them onto the HD useing the convert function in HD advanced. For Online games get hold of a ISO patcher patch the ISO of the riped PS2 game. then use HDL_dumb or Winhip to transfer the ISO to your HD thru a network cable (transfering a DVD9 image takes ages this way) or you can do what i do and take the HD out of your.
PS2 and set it to SLAVE put it in your PC with your normal HD just make sure to connect it to a unused IDE cable. Don't go unpluging random IDE cables (don't go messing your pc up) then use HDL_dumb or Winhip to find your HDA 3.0 HDD then transfer the ISO image directly (much quicker then via network cable) then if the hard disk is "Hot Plugable" just unplug it and set it back to MASTER then put it back into your PS2 and have fun. However i dout you will have a hot plugable drive working in your PS2 as most of them are built for servers. So in that case make sure your PC is off when you put the HDD in and take it out.

Some games still don't work on HDA but after a while you will find a H.A.C.K.E.D .elf file that you can load on your HD that will run the games that don't normaly work on a HD like God of War 2 there is a patch for that now that makes it run on HD.

another + about a HD is it drasticly speeds up your loading times and saves the laser power of your CD-ROM in your PS2.

how meany games can you fit on a HD? well iv got a 120gb in my PS2 and iv got about 20 games on it with 19gb left about enuf room for 3 more DVD games and 4 more CD games. (DVD games are normaly 4gb, DVD9 games can be up to 9gb, CD games can be up to 700mb)

anyway hope this helps some ppl out :)

There isnt any copyright protection on ps2 titles to speak of,only 1 game i know has anti-mod protection

use dvd decypter for ps2 titles,you dont need anything else

HI IM NEW HERE, AND I REALLY HOPE YOU COULD HELP ME WITH THIS CONCERN.

First of all,

Mi ps2 is already modded with a modbo chip.

I have tried to backup my ps2 games with dvd decrypter, alcohol 120%, but is hasnt work.

Im frustrated because i have wasted many blank dvd.

I friend of mine told me that the problem was that my backups have a UDF file system and that my console isnt able to read them.

When i put my backups into my ps2 the red screnn appers syaing about insertint a ps or ps2 format disc.

I JUST DONT WHAT TO DO NOW.

hey guy is it really burn the iso more than 4X speed will cause the ps2 cannot reading the dvd

how i know that my ps2 has a modchip or not to be honest i have play some non original game so far but it work well. but still the cover and inlay has an original image

i was trying to play a backup game that i create alone but when i plug and play the game doesn't started it when to Playstation2 logo that appear second time and then the game doesn't started it goes to memory card browsing menu but the ps2 still spining the dvd and the second try i straight to memory card menu browsing after the frist ps2 logo scene .can you tell what is wrong is it i burn it in to high speed or my ps2 doesn't have a modchip
thx. sorry bad english

Is 4skin still posting at this thread? I have some questions...

I managed to burn my 1st backup game(Star Ocean: TET) for PS2 successfully but after a few uses, the PS2 was getting a harder time reading(starting/booting) the disc so it usually goes to the browser page. But when it does start the game successfully, there are no more troubles.

At one point my game freezes so I tried to burn another copy but it doesn't work anymore. My PS2 still read other discs(original & fakes) other than my 2nd back up game. I did the very same procedure I used on my 1st one... what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance
