Coping PS2 games with a cdr-w
 

Hi guys, I have been told that u can copy dvd's to your hard drive and burn them using a normal burner. Is this also true for playstation 2 games ?. And if it is, is there someone who could explain to me what programs and procedures i would need to do this ? Or lead me in the direction of someone who can help...thanks

Well if you use a normal AO3 or AO4 you should be fine, since those are normal burners.



There is a way to rip ps2 games but Im not going to explain it to you. There is more than just a few things to learn about ripping a ps2 dvd game.




Tyler!

me bad
 

Sorry but when i said normal burner i ment of the old kind, that don't burn DVD's..u know..cdr-w burner...but mine includes a DVD reader....I would appereciate it if u could point me in the right direction..
Thanks

If all you have is a "normal cd-rw" burner the you will only be able to copy CD based PS2 games.... Since your drive is a DVD "reader"... you could RIP DVD based games...(WAY TO INVOLVED AND TIME CONSUMING)..... Best bet would be, get a Pioneer A03 or A04 DVD burner.......:cool:

Well thats what Tyler mean : ripping the game
The game that u have is dvd game base and u have to rip it down to a smaller size >640MB so u can burn it to ur normal cdr-w
Like Tyler say its alot to explain so here is the site where u can have a look yourself:

Thanks for the reply diehard..but i don't have the $900.00 australian to spend on a new DVD burner...i relaise that the only other way is very involved..so i am told..but no one has pointed me in the direction of where i can find this info out...i don't want people to explain it here...but if someone knows a place i can go and check out..i would really appreciate it..

Thanks again
