two dvd games won't copy

[Maul128]

Hi all just signed up so give me a break if i ask stupid questions

the problem i am having is copying a couple of dvd games.

i am using a hp 200i drive which has been working no problem for most dvd games.

but these are the two i can not get to boot

Jedi Starfighter

&

Simpsons road rage

now i believe both these games have something to do with EA but i have heard that EA protection does not effect DVD games is this true or do i still need to patch these games.

if i do need to patch how do i create the cue and bin files for a dvd as cdrwin does not seem to support it.

Thanks in advance

hi
never tried jedi fighter

but bart simpson ive done
what media do u use
bart simpson is 1 worst games i have done very hard for ps2 to read (long boot times)or not boot at all
use good quality dvdr it should b ok
i use pioneer a04

i am using memorex dvd+r blanks which hae been fine for all other games but these

i am also using a neo 4 chip which says on the spec that it needs patches to run ea games.

i understand that the messiah does not require patches.

[dust2dust]

yes messiah no patches
ea games cdr r protected
no dvd games so far r protectecd

This is Wrong. There are two dvd games that are currently protected against backing up. They are:

Xenosaga (dual layered dvd)

Drakan (PAL only)





I have both of the games Maul128 was talking about and dont have a problem with either of them. That HP you have is most likely the problem I have never heard of any good results from the hp 200i drive.

would te burning software i use make any difference

i am currently using nero !

Use Prassi Primo DVD or Stomp Record Now MAX (dont ask me where to get these programs!) They work a lot better than other programs out there for making PS2 dvd backups.
