What mod? Have you ever got a backup to play in your ps2? What version ps2 do you have?

[phantom78]

Running a Messiah 2 Chip

Do you multitask while burning? Is your burner set as master and are you using your burner as the reader as well?

[phantom78]

No i do not Multi task while burning..
but my burner is a slave drive as i use a dvd rom (master) to read the games.

should i use the burner to read and to backup / and should it be the master while the dvd rom drive as a slave

[ottoman]

Ah Ha!!!!!!

Move yr a06 to secondary master slot and use it to both read the Global Image and write it back to dvd-r.

If that don't work try burnin the dvd-r at 2 or 1 speed.

Let us know how u get on

Regards

I will get back to you


Thanks

Should work ok after the switch. The Pioneer manual even tells you to install it as master. Doesn't anybody read the manual anymore?:)

Men dont read manuels! We fall ass backwards into the solutions.

I don't read manuals either unless I can't figure out the problem myself, which I usually do.:cool:

Hi all.

Regarding the post about making an image of the game WITH the Burner instead of the DVD reader.....

I asked that question before in this forum and the answer was that is didn't matter which one you use and was better to make the image with the DVD READER because it will not wear the burners laser too much..

So, what is the best way to make an image???? WITH THE BURNER OR THE READER????

Thanx :)

[TylerDurden]

Actually whatever works best for you is best. But if your reader is reading fine then use it cause it saves wear on your burner.

Just asked which he was using to rule out the possibilities of the problem. Sometimes using a dvd-rom won't work for some, but if it works for you, use it.

Sorry Guys... Back to the drawing Board

I Swaped the drives arround and made my burner the master
and still no luck?

I tried at 4x speed read and Write

I Tried at 1x speed read and Write

And i have got another 2 coasters

It trys to load but just freeze's after the Playstation 2 Screen

any other suggestions of what i should / could try?

I am running out of cash (LOL)

Is there any other Software i could try

Thanks

[bighap]

Try reading and writing with your burner if you hav't already.
