PS2 burning question - HELP!
 

hi i just got my ps2 modded, don't know which chip, but they said i can play all backups even EA sports, anyway, i've been burning these backups which i assume are patched already, and they all load halfway and then the unit freezes!, i'm doing the gameshark thing loading it with R1 and O button. it loads, then freezes before i can play anything. i've even burned at 1x on CDRWin and used different brand CD's. Anyone have any ideas! PSX stuff works fine. Please HELP!!!

hmm if u have game copy it use clone cd
or blindread/write
if u download it well it could be dodgey file
hope this helps

so far the only game that works for me is using clonecd. the other games don't burn, but other people who dl the same version have no problems. am i supposed to check off anything when using cdrwin? any special settings?

tutorials for cdrwin r there

i've gotten 2 suggestions from others i've spoken with. Calibrating the laser or different cdr media. I tried searching this forum but could someone tell me what the best cdr brand i should get to burn these things before i try calibrating the laser, it sounds difficult to do!!

I don't reckon you need to calibrate your laser if some ganes work OK. You need only be concerned that:

1 Your burner is compatible with CloneCD and CDRWin
2 You use the settings in the tutorial
3 You use good media (like Verbatim coated) if you have a cheap burner
