dvd-9 backups
 

does the ps2 play dvd-9 backups fine? I got some blank Verbatim Dvd-9's. I wanna make sure the ps2 will read backup dvd-9s fine before i start backing up these ps2 dvd-9 games.

From what I understand is that PS2's have proven to be real picky when it comes to DVD9. You can try it out. If you hear a lot of noise from your laser I would keep using them.

Heck some ps2's may not even read them.



Tyler!

i believe he means that if u hear a lot of noise from ur laser you SHOULD NOT continue using them..

Yeah thats what I ment. Not keep using them.




Tyler!

I've used some of the Ritek based DVD9, and my V7 plays them perfectly fine with no excessive noise at all :)

Then go ahead and keep usin them Lufc. :p



Tyler!

ye i found the v7s play them fine but my v9 died after 2 weeks

Yet another reason to own a V7 over these cheap s*** V9/10/11 :)

ye i got one off ebay 4 days ago

You're s***ting me right? I just got V10 with Maxtrix 4 months ago and IF this is true with DL Discs then it's cause some problems..

V9/10 aren't good. Anyone has to admit that they are problematic, and until Sony fixes this, I wouldn't be upgrading. If my V7 were to die on me today, I'd find another V7, I certainly wouldn't be upgrading to a new console because I know they are trouble - more so than they are worth... :)

ive never heard of a v7 laser stuffing up.

nor me... and I haven't been the owner from new. The person who had it before me played DVD Rips on it and it's still going as strong as ANY brand new out-of-the box PS2 I've seen... :)

lufcfan what program did you use to back up your DVD9 games? Cause DVD Decrypter isn't fully working with Dual-layer disks yet.

Nero works stunningly well :)

yeh, v7's rock. Thats why I am selling them, and have one for sale atm :)

Sorry i forgot to ask, what game was it and with what type of burner did it work? And the modchip you used seems importand too i think.

Sonic Record Now 7 Supports Dual layer as well..
Luc, u sure you're not talking from only Uk point of view?
B/c I heard lot of people do have hard time with v9-10 around UK but not too many around US maybe some no?
So far so good with me, It's past 4 months and going on 5..
I heard cases where some people get the V10's moddded and then they die within weeks but mine survived past beyond 4 months..
Maybe some machines are s**t, I don't know.. :confused:

Everyone has the v9/10 problem.





Tyler!

They sure do... :(

Well....A03 is some what right. The out break of the v9/10 syndrome never reached the point that it did in the European unions, however there where cases here in the US as well. In fact I had 2 V9's that had the syndrome but this was before the Romeo mod came about and ever since we have been doing the Romeo mod not a single v9/10 has had this problem. The one thing I can give props to the v9/10's is that they boot extremely fast! Way faster then any V7 ever did or will. Howerver the laser assembley in the v9/10's (not the laser its self) has some shotty parts. Like the metal worm gear that is very flexable and the drive cover only being held in place by two scews. I do like the two cog deal, gives more range of adjustment, but at the same time with more range of adjustment comes a harder to adjust laser.

Just my thoughts :D

what exactly is the Romeo mod and what does it do?

Where you convert the LA chip from running at a 12v supply to a 5v supply to make it safer and prevent it blowing. Although, it is said that on the new V11 this doesn't seem to have an effect :(

Wow, :eek:
Ver.11 is coming out? Or u talkin about PsTwo?
I might considering getting this and getting it chipped..I don't know, all this talk about V9/10 damages..I ran lot of games on it it works fine with the Matrix chip but Like I said you gotta factor in that how you take care of the machine and what type of Disc you use etc..
Every machine I owned I took very good care of it b4 getting sold to anyone for that matter..Maybe I'm one of those lucky people..:cool:
It's like when Samsung Drive was a Rare Commodity for Xbox(People have been known to pay up to $100.00 or more for the the drive due to READ capability from what I heard) but when I bought mine brand new I got one with it and It works like a Charm till this day.. :rolleyes:

No, I'm talking about V11 with a completely new laser design... which seem to be failing in weeks instead of months... :(

cheap ass sony instead of make something better they make it ****er

so after this mod is done is the laser as good as a v7?

No... The lasers are still cheap crap that stop working prematurely (or at least they do here in Europe) - they just don't blow up any more...

Snake, read my post in the ultimate info sticky about the Rome mod under the thread "LA6/BA58 Driver Chip Behaviour" here is a link to it. Post #13 explains it all.
