dvd-9 backups
 

does the ps2 play dvd-9 backups fine? I got some blank Verbatim Dvd-9's. I wanna make sure the ps2 will read backup dvd-9s fine before i start backing up these ps2 dvd-9 games.

From what I understand is that PS2's have proven to be real picky when it comes to DVD9. You can try it out. If you hear a lot of noise from your laser I would keep using them.

Heck some ps2's may not even read them.



Tyler!

i believe he means that if u hear a lot of noise from ur laser you SHOULD NOT continue using them..

Yeah thats what I ment. Not keep using them.




Tyler!

I've used some of the Ritek based DVD9, and my V7 plays them perfectly fine with no excessive noise at all :)

Then go ahead and keep usin them Lufc. :p



Tyler!

ye i found the v7s play them fine but my v9 died after 2 weeks

Yet another reason to own a V7 over these cheap s*** V9/10/11 :)

ye i got one off ebay 4 days ago

You're s***ting me right? I just got V10 with Maxtrix 4 months ago and IF this is true with DL Discs then it's cause some problems..

V9/10 aren't good. Anyone has to admit that they are problematic, and until Sony fixes this, I wouldn't be upgrading. If my V7 were to die on me today, I'd find another V7, I certainly wouldn't be upgrading to a new console because I know they are trouble - more so than they are worth... :)

ive never heard of a v7 laser stuffing up.

nor me... and I haven't been the owner from new. The person who had it before me played DVD Rips on it and it's still going as strong as ANY brand new out-of-the box PS2 I've seen... :)

lufcfan what program did you use to back up your DVD9 games? Cause DVD Decrypter isn't fully working with Dual-layer disks yet.

Nero works stunningly well :)
