How Do I Back up larger games

[ottoman]

cool, but like i say....try it once.

It gonna be difficult to try both layers without considerable gaming.....Have u got HDLoader and a harddrive? A good way might be to try and install it to yr harddrive....that way it gotta read the whole disc......although if it gonna fail i would think it would fail straight away because of the lack of reflectivity on the first layer......

Well, if i was gonna test it I would use a version 7 as well....Definitely the Rainier Wolfecastle of the ps2 world (Ice to see you!!!)

Regards

P.S U lucky u in da states. Prices r more like £11 a disc here!!

DVD9 games have a known compatibility issue with HDloader.... they don’t work as of yet!

im going to backup the game but what use is it casue you guys go the laser will die after a few weeks and i dont want to burn out my new ps2(just got it 2 days ago).

btw friend backed up a 5gb xbox game to a DL disc worked fine he has been playing it for weeks. But xboxs have way better lasers than ps2s

So with your Liteon 832S you burned a dual layer DVD9 of a PS2 game and its working?

1) What blank DVD9 media brand did you use?
2) What Burning software did you use?
3) What PS2 DVD9 game was it?
4) What version PS2 did you play it on?
5) What mod chip do you have in it?

This is good news I hope it doesn’t put undo stress on the laser as Otto has suggested.

1) What blank DVD9 media brand did you use?
Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x

2) What Burning software did you use?
*Edit used Nero 6 to burn it used Alcohol 120% to make image file

3) What PS2 DVD9 game was it?
Meatal Gear Soild 2: Substance

4) What version PS2 did you play it on?
V7

5) What mod chip do you have in it?

My friend will keep the game and test it out over a few weeks/months. Im hoping it continues to work and that the second layer of the disc copied properly and that i dont fry his PS2.

I had to change the book setting to DVD-ROM as the first time i backed up MSG2:Sub it didnt work ps2 didnt recognize the disc
