Copying games
 

Hi everyone, can someone help me?

I need to copy NBA Live 2k3(dvd) to a DVD-R. I tried to follow the instructions here in this forum but it didn't help. I'm using recordNow Max, with a Toshiba SD-R5002. I made the reading at Max speed and the writing at 1x. I'm using Princo dvd-r. I tried this dvd backup on two consoles: one with the Messiah and another one with the NEO 2.2. I tried to boot the disk in various ways, but it won't load!

Help, plaese

do a step by step of how you burn so i can help you more maybe you should use ritek disc with the dark purple bottom then did you make a GI file?

I followed the instructions as written in the topic in this forum (for recordNow). Yes, I made a .gi file with RecordNow and afeter that I burned that on a dvd-r at the speed of 1x

If you followed the tutorial EXACTLY.......... Try a different brand of media........

Some Princos are not too bad..... Others $uck...............

Yes, I followed the tutorial exactly. What about Traxdata?

---------------the dvd you have are they dark purple bottoms
cause the darker the purple the better
the best media are ritek i think
www.rima.com
also your burner you use, you should try burner at 2x

Traxdata discs are outstanding......

never tried those
i think ritek are cheaper a $1.00 a disk

Ya think that changing disk will resolve the problem?

Probably. And you havn't tried Traxdata Freakzilla because they are only available in the UK.

Read at Min Speed
 

If I didn't read it wrong, you said you read the Disc at max speed. I think you should read your disc at "Min" speed. I usually read at min speed and burn at max speed.

Just a idea for you:)

why read so slow? if you have a clean disc, and a decent comp, 16x dvdrom should work fine

You should always start reading at min speed. Some drives can do a good job at max speed but some can't. I can make good copies at min and med speed but they don't always turn out at max. I always read and burn as slow as possible just to be sure. So my advice is to try min speed and work your way up.

I'll try to read and write it at min speed. I'll also use a Traxdata, just to be sure.

I changed the disk and it works!!!! I used a Traxdata. Thanks for the help

Where did you buy your Traxdata from?

I live in rome, and I bought them from a shop across the street! ;)
