Action Replay 2 copy ?????
 

Can someone help me, I tried to copy the boot cd1 of the AR2 but after throwing several cd's out of my window I don't know how to make a backup of this cd.
I tried it with Clony/Clonecd/Plextools........

I have a Plextor 16/40/10

Anyone ????

Before anyone else gets in with a ruder reply than this, RTFF!

You can't do such a fundamental thing as to boot off a copy of a boot disk.

Will they ever learn??

Why not ?

I paid enough money for the original and want to keep that one intact, so what's wrong to backup the bootcd ??

Because it technically won't work. The Boot CD has to be of the sort recognised in pre-boot mode by the PS2. I'm shaky on the full detail because it's not published but the PS2 first reads the CD/DVD off-phase to establish from its colour (and I believe by other light related means) whether this is a PS CD, a PS2 CD or a PS2 DVD. Such CDs are created through a SONY OEM kit and pressed, not burned.

A copy is not in the necessary pre-boot condition. Now do you believe me?

Sorry Mie, wasnt trying to sound mean, it's just impossible to do. No cd writer is capable of writing the unique data that seperates a original from a backup. As Charlie states in his reply, this data must be pressed into the original. No bootdisc, AR2, GAMESHARK2 or REGION_X can be copyed or downloaded and used to boot backups.

Charlie and Warlock, thanks............
