Question Can you get more than one PS2 game on a DVD?

I would like to know if it's possible to get more than one game on a DVD, I know you can get lots of PS2 games that fit onto a CD.

What I really want to be able to achieve is several game Backups on one DVD that will play from the disk in the PS2.

If anyone can make sense of what im trying to get at, and you can help please e-mail me. Ta.

There is a utility called ps2gameselector which can supposedly do just that. The problem is that nobody can get it to work.

Actually there are dvd games out there that are 900mb....

So you could actually put 3-4 of these games on a dvd-r.. But as mentioned, you still need some sort of selector to be able to choose which game you want to play...

There was one game (Capcom vs SNK 2 i think ) that was only 500mB. I assume they published on dvd to try an avoid sum piracy issues.

The problem ain't so much getting the files onto a dvd, U could take 4 ps2 cd based games an slap em on a dvd-r. The problem is that the games would have to be heavily patched/rewritten so that ps2 cd/dvd checks etc were compliant and to be honest, blank media is so cheap now that there just isn't a call for someone to do this.

Regards
