PS2 DVD to DVD-R

C.R.G · #1 08-10-2002, 16:57

I Have a Pioneer DVD-R/RW I just purchashed for making back up copies of my PS2 DVD games.

Here is my problem, hope you have the time to help.

How do i get the DVD PS2 Games to fit on the DVD-R disc? I have Cloncd, and a mod chip which copies and plays my CD PS2 games just fine but the DVD one's do not fit as per clone cd.

Do I have to go through all that ripping or is there a program out there that can do this for me? What am i doing wrong?

It is quite confusing as most of the tutorials listed are for back up to a CD-R disc not a DVD.

I spent the money on a DVD burner thinking this would solve my probelm but it still does not work.

Please Help if you can or direct me how to proceed.

My son is not very careful with the discs and when you have to purchase a 2nd copy of a game you aready own it kind of sucks.

Thanks

Which game are you trying to back up? Most are Dvd 5 which is one layer dvd. Those ones you can back up using primo by doing the direct disc to disc copy. There are only around 2 known ps2 games that are dual layered (DVD9), Those are the ones you'll have trouble backing up.

I answered this in the Private Message you set me.....
Also, you NEED to find out what type of mod chip you have because some CANNOT play DVD-R's....

The reason CloneCD isn't working for your dvd based game is cause CloneCD is only for CD based games not DVD. Also the reason your not finding tutorials for DVD games is because you dont really need to know anything except how to burn a cd. Just use PrimoDVD to make a backup of the game and your done.

C.R.G.
The first thing to do is not worry, the guys on this forum will help you.
Go to psxcopyworld.co.uk
look under tutorials and how to use either PRASSI or NERO is well explained by CHARLIE.
In the download section you can get hold of these programs for download.
If you have any problems with PRASSI recognizing your A04 you'll
need to upgrade something called the pxengine.
It's availeable from Veritas, i've downloaded it myself .
I always forget the exact link but i'll get it and post it here.

Okay here's the Veritas pxengine link.

Look about half way down the page and you'll see the download
pxengine icon.

O.K i did burn three different discs using the Primo software, but i still can not get them to load. I put them in an my machine at the right loading time but all it does is make funny clicking noises not the normal booting up noises.

How do i proceed from here. are the burnt discs then problem or is it my machine. I am useing very good quality discs and have a Pioneer A04 DVD-R writer, what more do i need.

I have a chip and boot discs up with the Game Shark (I Know it is not the best way) but it works for everything else.

do i need to ajust my PS2 settings or clean the lasar.

Help....

We need to know what type of mod chip you have....There are different boot procedures depending on what type of chip you have.....And what version PS2 is yours?

Also you mentioned a clicking noise.....You can try cleaning the laser.......

psx_paul · #9 09-10-2002, 13:50

what "very good quality discs" are you using?

C.R.G · #10 09-10-2002, 14:00

Help

I am using the Pioneer DVD-R discs that origiannly came with my burner. There Pioneer Brand, the Guy at the Cumputer store said they were the best and most expensive ones they had.

My PS2 Model Number is SCPH-30001

Help!!!

argo · #12 09-10-2002, 14:18

C.R.G,
Try this.
Go back to http:// www.psxcopyworld.co.uk
Click on tutorials.
Scroll down and click on Primo dvd.
Scroll right down to the bottom to the section numbered 304.
Boot methods for chips such as the Neo 2 etc.
Have a look and see if you can get the game to load by following
the boot methods for the Gameshark/ Neo chip combination.
Let us know how you go on.

Argo.

Your serial don't by chance read SCPH-30001R does it.... If it has the R at the end, you have a V5 and can't boot dvd-r backups with the NEO 2.....

C.R.G · #14 09-10-2002, 14:44

No there is no R at the end of the SCPH-30001

Thanks for all your help at least now it does not seam so complicated.

Boot Disc? I thought that the Game shark was to be used as the boot disc. but the Primo DVD boot instructions say to use one, what do you suggest.

argo · #15 09-10-2002, 15:07

C.R.G,
the boot disk refered to at psxcopyworld is an ORIGINAL
ps2 dvd game and is used in conjunction with the gameshark to fool the ps2.
The important part is it MUST have a T.O.C (table of contents)
larger than the T.O.C of the backed up game that your wanting to boot.
To find out what games have large and therefore effective T.O.C's
just use the search button at the bottom of the main forum sreen
and it should produce some previous links to T.O.C posts.
Let us all know how you go on, if you get it to work or if need anymore help.
