Which recordables to use?
 

I'm sort of a newbie in burning PS2/PSX backups. So can anyone tell me which DVD/CD media I can or can't use?
The model no. of my PAL PS2 is SCPH-30004-R. I believe it has something to do with the version of the PS2, wether you can use DVD RWs (CD-RW) or not.
Please help! :confused:

Most of us here use Ritek or Taiyo Yuden dvd-r. Both brands are excellent and very affordable.

verbatim dvds are pritty sweet to.

I agree with both of the above (providing the Verbatim are DataLife Plus DVD-R) :)

TUFF discs seem to be popular at the moment with customers at me shop, buying in hundreds.

Very cheap too

/me shrugs

oh yes vb datalife plus ones mate 8 quid a pack

i got some RiData 8x Ritek G05 dye (Blue top) DVD-R's, 50 for £9.50. they work great. only game that seems weird is Second Sight, the loading times are REALLY long. I dont know, it might be the way i burned it, i think i used Nero. Meh, I'm putting everything on my HDD when i find a network adapter for under £20.

I was thinking just to burn the image on a DVD rewritable first instead of a recordable. This way I can test if the PS2 rip isn't corrupted and can I prevent to waste too many DVD-R's. But I've heard only the latest PS2 models can read DVD-RW. It probebely doesn't matter much which brand you use:eek:

Think twice...
 

What you really wanna do it try to decrease the power used by the laser... putting a DVD-RW increases it significantly....

Why dont you just make direct backups? Very few games are DL and require ripping. What burner and software do you have??

by rip, i think he just means dump. i doubt he realises that RIP means material has been removed.

well last 2 weeks office depot had house brand office depot dvd-rs 4x 50 for $15 or 100 for $30 and there ritek g04 they work relly well on ps2 and dvds backups i bought 150 of them cause it was such a good deal :)

they usely have them one sale every other week just got to keep a eye out :)

I have a NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG and are using mostly Alcohol120% or Nero.
And I meant burning isos that I didn't made myself on a rewritable DVD.

Another question: what does fullDVD and DVDrip mean? Some PS2 isos are named that way. :confused:
