Need some help with PS2 DVD backups
 

I have a no solder mod chip and Action Replay 2. I have successfully backed up CD based games but recently purchased a DVD burner and have had no luck getting any of the backups I make to boot.

My first question is, does DVD+R work. I have an HP DVD200e DVD+R writer. I have backed up the games using both NERO v6 and a program called Alcohol 120%. I have attempted to back up NCAA 2004 and Madden 2004. I have attempted to use the boot up method for the no solder chip using FFX as the boot disc.

I have used Maxell and xhypermedia discs with no success. Anyone that could give me some advice would be appreciated.

Hello dippy1423

You want a program called Stomp Record Now Max. (Not sure if your drive is supported but theres only one way to find out!)
Media : Any Ritek dye media, try and get g04 if you can.
DVD-R media is better than the DVD+R in ps2's.
The DVD+R is cheaper to produce but most ps2's dont like them.
If you are using a swap mod its your fault if things dont boot. Wait for Evo to reply. Hes the one that likes the 'ghetto' method of booting :p

Hope that helps.

lol when it makes me hella money i do :D and what version is ur ps2 cause 4 and below dont like playing dvd+r media very well and i never used a ar 2 to boot games i think it works like gs2 but i couldnt say ur best bet is to buy some swap magic disk u can get some here http://www.saveware.com/ps2_No_Solder_Mod_Chip.htm and ur best bet is to vist www.ps2ownz.com its all the people that cant afford a vancy mod install so they do no solders and flip tops which if it wasnt for no solders i would still be useing one :p

Read the ultimate info sticky.Also, If you have a v4 or older it may have a problem with + media.

thanks for the reply
 

I have a v5 PS2. I've successfully played a backed up DVD movie on + media in my PS2, so I know that it will read it. I'll give the suggestions on media, backup software and boot software a try. Thanks.
