Gash writer m8ee. Was using a pioneer 104 which seemed to have developed a fault an wasn't burning correctly.

Now use a pioneer 106 an no problems at all.

I started using bulkpaq even though everyone else salted me and them severely. My first few backups were fine but started to get problems with more complicated games. GTA Vice city, Time splitters 2, Max Payne, Conflict desert storm to name a few.

They seemed to burn fine but when I tried them in my version 5 ps2 they would take for ever to load or not load at all.

When I brought it up here I got "Told u so" an was given the same advice as I've given u. Always use dark write surface dvd-r for ps2 games as the ps2 dvd laser has a lot easier time reading them due to increased reflectivity using Ritek coloured dye with a ps2 laser.

However I did have a problem with burning all dvd-r for a while. They all seemed to have light patches on the write surface after burning. Took same files an blank dvd-r to m8's ps2 and burned on his 104 perfectly so binned burner a while back an got 106.

This still doesn't change the fact that any experienced ps2 dvd backuper on this forum will give u the same advice.#

Regards m8ee. Hope this clears up the confusion.

ps. Yes, the dvd writer could still read the bulkpaq images back in but it probably had a lot better laser in it than the cheap ps2 laser.
