PS2 backup help.... please
 

Only just purchased a PS2 for my son (8 yrs). Started to backup the few games that he has but have encountered a problem with the first backup.

The game loads but the menu screen is steppy, sometimes freezes for 10/20 seconds and slow, when you actually start playing the game it plays fine with no problems.

This is the first backup of a PS2 game I've tried, I have searched the forum for some ideas on help but I have read so much that all the advice seems to be contradicting each piece I read.

Used games X copy software, Pioneer 106, Ritek DVD-R, Can't remember the speed it was burnt at, PS2 (7000), Slim tools + SwapDisc 3.6

Any help is really appreciated.

Sorry.... forgot to say that the DVD-R are Datawrite printable Ritek-G04

Thanks.

Try using DVD Decrypter instead and burn at the maximum rated speed of the disc. Also, you'd be much better to get a decent mod chip installed, I always go for the Matrix Infinity.

Many thanks, will try DVD Decrypter today.

id burn at 4x on your burner first coz some of the older pioneers can be a bit tempermental i found (personal observation only) but if max works !!! sorted and defo agree with dvd decrypter !! havent found a better proggy yet :D

lol @ above are your discs 4 or 8 times if 4 then lol at myself
