should i buy a DVD-ROM?
 

i heard it is possible to rip dvd PS2 games and burn it on a cd.


my question is if it's worth to buy a DVD ROM and rip games?

save your money for a decent DVD writer such as the Pioneer A04/A05 (under £200)

i'll have to save for a long time!!!
 

DVD burner cost about 450$, not to talk about that the dvd-r is really expensive!

so that possibility is out of the question.

fair enough

$450:confused: What burner are you looking at?

i saw the -
 

PIONEER DVR-104 for about $460.
not to talk about the prices of the media.

for exampel:

10 Pack - 4.7 GB DVD RAM Media DVD-RW for HP 100i DVD Writer
for about $160.

get the idea.

pioneer ao4 will cost u no more then $300 usa i sure i can find it alot cheaper

10 pack of dvd-r is about $15 if u buy cheap trusted brand


honestly ripping suxs bad save $70 for dvdrom save for a dvdwriter

where was you looking?

if you want some pointers in the right direction just ask... :)

I agree, The A04 is fairly cheap, you can even find A03's real cheap on the net if you look. Ripping games is time consuming and a over all pain in the arse. Save your money, buy a dvd burner and be done with it.

Where in the world are you finding these prices......? :confused:

I purchased the Pioneer DVR-A05 for $329.00 (the newer model of the A04)

As far as media.... You can buy 100 dvd-r's for about $99.00.....

YO DUDES!
 

I live is israel!
a ****ing expensive countrey when it comes to electronics!

you see?


BTW

how long it takes to burn a whole 4.7gb dvd-r ??(lets say with the Pioneer DVR-A05 )

I believe BG posted earlier that it took about a hour at 1x, 30 min at 2x and 15 min at 4x using the A05.

ripping a game will take you hours

then some wont even work

i wouldnt use these at this price they b like english bulkpak disks
a load of crap would be my guess

Actually, they are not bad discs.....

They are the Princo branded white labels.... They work great in everything I have....(Although they are on 1X):cool:
