DvD Backup's Work in PS2 W/O Modchip.

[onefasteclipse]

About 4 months ago my girlfriend brought a DVD Backup home from one of her Co-workers that she wanted to watch. When I seen it was a backup I new for sure it wasn't going to play in my un-moded PS2. She said that the guy had found a patch that allowed him to play backups in any PS2 without a mod chip. I figured what the hell, lets give it a shot. Sure enough, I poped it in and the movie played away. I was amazed. Now, 4 months later, my girlfriend no longer works there and I finally got a DVD Burner. I've gotten DvDs to play in actual DVD players but just can't find away to get the PS2 to read them. Any of you know how the hell he did that? Thanks.

Of course, its easy. There is no special patch or magical power that allows this. Its known. PS2's play backed up or DVDR movies.

Then how come I can't get my backups to play in it? They play fine in the regular DVD player but don't come on in the PS2. I used DVDShrink and Nero to make the back up.

Prolly cause you are using cheap media.

I am using FUJIFILM 8x DVD-R's. Are these classified cheap? What media should I use?

FujiFilm is mediocre. I was a die hard Ritek fan but recently they've changed dyes or something and I dont like the way they are now. I've heard that Taiyo Yuden brand dvdr is great, so I will be trying them out as soon as my current ritek stock runs out.


Also your problem could be your ps2. Depending on what version it is, it may now be having problems playing dvdr.


Please let me know how you are making your backups.
