RecordNow Max will backup Devil May Cry perfectly.....

That is what I used for that game, and all other games....

Hi again BG....I did use RecordNowMax 4.10 to do so...

The game will not boot in my PS2...I made backups of GRAND TURISMO 3 & GTA III and they work perfect..I dont think is the media Im using....because that what I used to backup GR 3 & GTA III


You think, I should try again.....ANOTHER DISC...LOL.....(I did not bad..out of 50...I wasted 10 already)
I dont have any DVD-RW Media...3 DVD-R left!! LOL

Well just to add a lil extra spice.

I started with Nero 5.5.10, tried Recordnow max 4.5, but have settled with Prassi Primo DVD2.0.

I havn't found faults/problems with nero or recordnow max, I just prefer the user interface with Primo. Please let me know if anybody finds one to be any more reliable than the others.

I've backed this game up first time without any problems.

Are you copying On-The-Fly, i.e. Dvd reader 2 Dvd writer? Most people use this kind of method, but it's not the safest sometimes especially if your using Dvd-r's (Expensive Coaster). When i make a backup i create a image first to my Hd then burn it back. I know this takes longer but you get very good results.

Agree with Hans....create the image to the hard drive. I use nero a lot. If I find a game that Nero fails on (for some reason), I use Prassi Primo DVD. They are both great programs, I've never used record now max. Good luck!!!!

Writing from image file maybe safer but is still not coaster proof! That's why I copy on the fly.

'True'

But, what works for one, might not work for another. :D

RW works but don't expect to work wonders from it..
Best is use R's NOT RW's for PS2 DVD backups..
TDK,Verbatim or Fuji's does wonder's..Try them!!
But once again it varies on the laser so exp and stick with what works best for your laser.

As you said A03 - what works best for your laser. I have overcome the freezing on vice city by writing it to dvd-rw.
