please help
 

Right then! I have copied a dvd game using a rip kit that produces an ISO file at the end.The tutorials all say just burn to disc and that is it!BUT it never bloody works!!!!! I have dozens of coasters from fu**ed discs!! When the iso file is created,is that all that gets burned to the cdr,just the one big file? Also what is the exact boot method for this type of disc? (using no solder V5 mod)
Please help! My missus is going to kill me if i spend any more time on this pc!!!!!!

you don't burn the iso file itself to cd, you burn it as a disc image. use i.e. fireburner or ezcd, or cdrwin. select burn iso, NOT burn files.

THANK YOU M8 !!! I will try it.

I have done what you have said.I burned the disc with the iso using "burn image" with Nero.It said that ihad to finalise the disc,to which i clicked yes to. Put in disc using the ar2 above mention method,disc spins up,then up comes "PLEASE PUT IN PS2 GAME" text!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!! or i'm gonna dig out my Sega!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :confused:

ok,here you can see what i am doing...maybe you see what i am making wrong.

I copy the dvd game to hard drive
Then put unzipped rip kit into same directory as game copy

then i run the kit which produces the iso

then open Nero and select "file" "burn image"

I select the iso that was created

and click burn
nero says that the disc has to be finalized in order to fit on disc,i just say yes to this.

burn disc

using ar2 version 2.2,isert and run up
i select start game, and then with/without codes
when prompted to insert game disc i hold eject until goes orange ( then realese)
quickly change discs (before my fingers get ripped off!!)
when drawer closes and light goes back to green, i press X

screen goes blank as if it is going to boot but then comes up asking me to insert a ps or ps2 disk!!!!


I can play backed up cd games fine using this method of bootig,it's just the dvd ripped ones that won't work!!!

did you have to use a 80 min CD? the no solder mod has problems with those.

I am using 80 min cdrs but they are all ok when burning cd games,and work 100%.I am even using 99 min cd's! My burner is a Liteon 24X10X40.
What should i do now ???

the problem is not the cdr itself, but the size of the game on it. the no solder mod makes the ps2 believe the cd inserted is 74 mins, and any above that will still be recognized as that.. so any data beyond the 74 mins is not there for the ps2.. which makes it unable to play the game.

Its working now....i used another rip kit..
They other one did not work....finally.... yyyeeaahhh

Do you know where i can get a rip kit for "State of Emergency"
"Metal gear solid 2" and "Sky Odyssey"? all PAL versions.
