First time and failure
 

Having no luck...My PS2 was modchipped by 'New Age' and tested o.k.....Made backup of 'Wild Arms 3' using Sony DRU500A (both Sony DVD-RW & DVD+RW appeared to copy fine using 'Stomp RecordNow Max' but my PS2 won't play it (files on burnt disc were identical to original) desperately need help..btw it was a 'magic 3' modchip...thx

what version PS2 have you got? need help?

your machine may not be able to read +R and/or +/-RW

have you tried using any DVD-R media?

I have a 30001 version 4...will try a DVD-R...thx much for your response

Followed your advice....recorded it to a Memorex DVD-R ...the game started up about 10% of the time (open and close drive..press 'reset' etc) once started the game played perfectly..do you think the problem is the media or my PS2 laser? Had the laser cleaned when chip installed and they said machine tested fine on backups....am excited to be making progress

Some people have good luck with Memorex some don't. Try a high qualiity media such as Verbatim, Ritek, or TDK.

The problem will be the Magic 3 combined with the media. Beter media boots sooner and magic 3 likes that.

Can't say enough for everybody's help....tried 'Maxell' (b4 your answers....booted 70% of the time)...what would you rate No. 1 for Magic 3 compatibility?

Ritek or Verbatim are your best bets.
