Cd-r/rw?

[anubis13]

hi!
Can i burn my backups to a cd-rw or must they be on a cd-r?
And by the way, which media should i buy? (cd-r and cd-rw)

And another question, can i copy my ps2 games with my VERY OLD yamaha burner?
it burns with 2*2*24
Or should i buy a newer burner?

most games are dvd-rom, thus you need a dvd burner

[anubis13]

Yeah, i know, but for those games which are on a cd, can i use cd-r´s or cd-rw´s?

You need to use cd-r's as the ps2 cannot read cd-rw's. You probably can use your burner to burn games but i doubt it is compatible with clonecd, try Nero. If it's no good a new cd-burner will set you back about £40 and will be at least 40 speed.

ok, thank you for your help so far.... but,
which media should i use now?
And how do i know if my buner is supported by clone cd?

The ps2 isn't very picky when it comes to cdr media. Almost any will do.

Most burners are clonecd compatible! Avoid DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo's.
Read the specifications on the box, if it states 'RAW' it'll work with clone.

We have now entered the DVD-R age! Pay the extra & buy a dvd burner (you won't regret it).
