PS2 DVD Backup

[md_mushroom]

I have a magic 2 modchip fitted in my ps2, version 5, is there a way to back up ps2 dvd games straight to a dvd-r disc ?
I have a Pioneer a04, have tried backing up my son's GTA 3, but it will not boot up, r there patches to b applied or should the back up work straight from a 1 -1 copy ??

Many Thanx

if doing 1on1 backups with dvd games there is no need for any patch's as for software the best is primo and recordnow max, read sticky's at top of forum will tell u all u need to know on how to use these programs hope this helps scamper

Another question, would the ps2 back up play in a non modified ps2 if i backed up the game through Prassi as a dvd-r 1 to 1 backup ????

Hi just wondering if n e body has backed up Grand Theft Auto - Vice City, have followed Sticky's tutorial, but when game has finished reading through Prassi, it says that it has read but with errors, the total size of the file is - 4,455.38mb, it is the second Original i have bought for my son because he lent the 1st 1 out to his mate who badly scratched the disc, which freezes when playing now, don't want to waste a 2nd copy, so is it possible to back up this game ?? Have backed up - The Thing through Sticky's tutorial with Prassi, and it works fine.

Many Thanx

1 to 1 copy is basically if the original game is on cd you copy it to cd-r.....
If the original game is on dvd you copy it to dvd-r.....

No ripping... Just a straight copy....

I have backed up this game with no problems.....

Very simple, just have Prassi create a .GI (global image) then burn....
Read the original at a very slow speed and then write the disc at 1X......

Works like a charm....

Ok guys, tried setting the read speed to - Medium, then tried Min, still no joy, keeps coming up with - Read but with errors, is it possible there could b an error on the original ?? Using prassi and a pioneer ao4.

have u used the update for primo ?

[dust2dust]

try cleaning disk with litle fairy liquid in water,rinse plain water let dry

if still got problems reading the disk i would say it has an error on it as long as u can read and copy other games

i had 1 game in past prassi read with errors tried nero it read it fine must be worth a try

[md_mushroom]

no haven't used the update, is it worth trying this 1st ?? where would i get this from please ??? If i used Nero, wat settings would i use to copy PS2 games ???

Many Thanx
