Burning PS2 games - Nero
 

I've recently burned Simpsons Road Rage & a couple of other pal games to a cd using Nero. Unfortunately, when I insert the CD in the AR2 screen I just get the message loading & nothing happens. The CD seemed to burn okay at the time. The games are PAL versions which should work on my PS2. Does anyone have any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Have you got your PS2 chipped?

I've got an AR2 with a Nochip plugged into the usb port. I think it's a version 2.2

Yeah those chips I hate, probably need to patch the image (no mod) before burning... That's the probs you have buying a generic mod.

Depends really, check the PS2 section on "booting procedures" see if your modchip is listed, its quite possible that you are booting the games wrong.

DVD games dont need patched to play cause there is no protection on them, they can be patched it seems if you want to go from Pal to NTSC or something similar which he doesnt need to do.

Either you are booting it wrong or the copy you made is a bad one. Plus I'm not sure if that mod will actually boot DVDRs or not, so go check the PS2 section.

Here is the boot procedures that VidFreekCD was talking about.

Booting a PlayStation 1 CDR Backup Copy

• Ensure the USB MOD is switched on (all the way right).
• Insert the PlayStation CDR copy into you PS2 and boot as normal. The USB
• MOD will automatically detect the media and game type.

Booting a PlayStation 1 Original

• Ensure the USB MOD is switched off (all the way left).
• Insert the original PlayStation game into the disc tray and boot the PS2 as normal.

Booting a PlayStation 2 Original

• Ensure the USB MOD is switched off (all the way left).
• Insert the original PlayStation 2 game into the disc tray and boot the PS2 as normal.

Booting a PlayStation2 CDR Backup Copy

• Insert the Action Replay 2 Memory card into a free memory card slot.
• Ensure the USB MOD is switched 'OFF' (all the way left).
• Power on the PS2 and eject the disc tray and insert Action Replay 2 Disc 1 and power the system off.
• Power the PS2 on and wait until the black screen containing the PlayStation2 logo appears then move the USB MOD switch into the 'ON' position (all the way right) allow the system to boot to the Action Replay 2 main menu.
• Select 'Start Game' from the Action Replay 2 menu.
• Select start game 'Without' cheat codes.
• Eject the disc tray, remove the Action Replay 2 disc1 and insert the PlayStation2 CDR copy. Press X to continue.

Please Note: This boot method will not boot some EA Sports titles without patching them first.

See if the games will boot with any of these.....
:cool:

A USB mod wont boot dvd-r, It wont play imports and alot of games by EA will not load without patching as well as a few titles by other game makers.
