Hi BG,
I have burned several PS2 DVD games using your Primo DVD Tutorial, it works great.

I have a new game MX SuperFly featuring Ricky Carmichael.

When I make an image to my hard drive Primo makes 3 different .gi files eg. (MXSuperFly (11).gi),(MXSuperFly (12).gi),(MXSuperFly.gi), so I tried to make the dvd anyway by pointing Primo to the MXSuperFly.gi file. It made the dvd but When I go to look at the dvd using my dvd burner it won't reconized it. Have you seen a game do this?

Thanks NTMAN

Ok... Thanks for the kind words, BUT I didn't create the Primo Tutorial, Charlie_PS2 did.... I just posted it for him..... (But I'm sure he will appreciate your kind words also :) )
Have you tried playing the game in your PS2?
What does it do.....?

Also, try taking the backup out of the dvd burner and restarting your computer... After your computer comes back up, put the disc back in and see if it will recognize it then...
What type of media are you using?

The 3 files are perfectly normal to allow use in FAT and FAT32 environments; and you did the right thing to bun from the non-() file. Did the game work on the PS2? It should have.

Your welcome BG. Thanks charlie_ps2. After burning the image back to a dvd-r it said it was successful then I tried to view it in my PC (because I haven't modified my PS2 just yet) and it wouldn't recognize it in the dvd burner drive. So that is why I posted thinking it had something to do with the extra files. I have buned other games and then viewed them on my PC fine. Not sure what is going on.

Edited:
After a reboot of my PC I can now see the contents of the game. So I guess pointing Primo to the file with no () worked. Thanks for the help guys.
