DVD5 = 4.7GB disc
DVD9 = 9.4GB disc

No you cant.

ah ok thanks.

another thing, will all future dvd ps2 games be in DVD9 format? (cause i heard about Devil May Cry 2 being in dvd9 and i don't want to buy a new dvd writer next month)

also, is it possible to like, write 1 dvd9 ps2 game in several dvd5 discs?

Well, no such thing as a dvd9 writer yet (well, couldn't find mention of one on web yesterday) but chances are when dvd9 games are more common you will be able to get hold of a rip kit (just like with copying dvd games to cdr) or a patch which will allow you to write the game to two dvd5's................

alternatively we can all do a boycott of any DVD-9 releases. In other words we don't buy them. We tell others not to buy them. And those others tell others not to buy them. Hopefully it'll roll into a snowball effect, then Sony gets the message and viola... no more dvd9 games.

:p

Hmmmm.... Nice thought but how long would people last against getting hold of something like time splitters 3 or GTA 5 if there was no copys available???

I don't think it'll be a problem. Rip kits R gonna be the way ahead and give it a year or so and dvd9 burners will probably start poppping up.

sometimes sacrifices in the present have to be made to change the future.

Will the PS2, later on, be using other types of DVD media like DVD10, DVD14, or DVD18?

Possibly but at the mo there isn't many DVD9 games around so I don't think its anything to worry about just yet, maybe with the PS3?????

Actually PSX-Paul, you can read a dvd-9 game to harddrive but burning it is the problem.


Ottoman, there are dvd9 games out. Supposedly Metal Gear Solid Substance for PS2 (not out yet) will be dvd9 and Xenosaga is already dvd9.

I just played the game Xenosaga with my Messiah 2 and noticed that the beginning of the game is in english. The rest is in jap language and text.

Ottoman said there aren't many dvd9 games out yet, but he was answering my question as to the PS2 using dvd10 dvd14 and dvd18 later on in the future. I just wanted to know if it is actually possible to read those types of media.

I really dont think dvd10 and up will be possible. If anything, the type of media we use will change. Who knows we may not even use discs anymore.

I stand corrected

as said the man in the orthopedic shoes :p


I wasn't 100% sure on the read side :)

Yeah I tried it when Xenosaga first came out. I was just messing around with it but I was able to read the entire disc. At the time I used Prassi with the image breakdown patch. But since that same patch works with Stomp you can still do it. People with Windows XP can do it just about any way.

If your worried about future games being on dvd9.

As long as you can read it to the hardrive is cool with me cuz the ps2 emu will be able to run them.

and how close is that?


If you really want to Play them now buy the game


:cool:

Glad to know you have it, wink wink. ;)

I posted that 22-12-2002 03:01, when it wasnt out in the US. I heard about it from some people who happened across an early copy.

tyler, for xenosaga, where did you get the "image breakdown" patch...b/c i want to back the game up, but obviously it is too big..thanx

First of all I think you have a couple things messed up. There isnt a patch to allow you to backup the game. There is one to allow you to extract large images to older Windows versions on your PC (using Record Now Max or Prassi).

At this time you wont be able to back up this game on your own, unless you know a lot about coding and can come up with a tool to allow you to extract hidden files withing this game and then downsample them.
