Oh no...another newbie.
 

Hey guys,

I don't own a PS2 however I do own a burner (Sony CRX160E). A few questions which I couldn't find the answer to anywhere else (sorry):

1. Do you need a DVD-Rom drive to read ALL PS2 games or just the DVD format ones?
2. Is there a list on the net where it tells which games are DVD and which are CD?
3. I only have 1 available 5.25" bay so I use the CDRW for everything. So can I still burn PS2 games?

Thanks guys.

Cheers

Q1. Do you need a DVD-Rom drive to read ALL PS2 games or just the DVD format ones?

Answer
You need a DVD-ROM for just DVD Format Games

2. Is there a list on the net where it tells which games are DVD and which are CD?

Answer
Not that I have come accros but on the back of the box of the original PS2 games it tells you what format the game is.

Q3. I only have 1 available 5.25" bay so I use the CDRW for everything. So can I still burn PS2 games?

Answer
Yes, but you will only be able to burn games that are CD Format.
Check out www.psxcopyworld.co.uk for guides on burning.
The software I have had success with is Nero Burning Rom and Clonecd. Other people have had success with CDrwin.
The best media for writning onto is Verbatim.

Hope this helps Bud

Are you going to get a PS2?

Don't know yet...probably, but they're still a little pricey over in Oz. I was thinking of waiting until the X-box comes out and see what it can do.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers
