PS2 Game Backups.....The perfect backup?

[oZER0o]

so what exactly are the advantages with sonic recordnow over dvd decrypter?

i havnt had a game not work on me yet, i was burning too slow. now ive realised that with the media I'm using you have to burn quick, i went back and reburned 1 or 2 games and they work fine, and load fast.

btw, ive been burning my new 8x media at 6x, but the load times on the games still seem to be fast. should i just go all out and burn at 8x ? could this make the load times even faster?

I'd say, always go as fast as the media and your burner will allow

Trying to help you out here bud..there is no significant Advantage rather matter of Preference..When the First DVD Burner Arrived at Reasonable price of $500.00 which was the A03 (2x Burner with 1x DVD-RW which I purchased BTW) it was equipped with Prazzi/Verita/Sonic Record now Max or Deluxe pending on which ever you got or purchased later down was the sort of choice for making DVD's..I haven't had a Single Problem from Day 1 with only drawback was that I had to throw/chop up media's due to lack of compatibility meaning sh** discs with unreasonable price but had to pay due to name brands were arm and a leg..Than later down prices started dropping and the quality has gotten better sort of like CD-R days relatively speaking..
Now I stick with Ritek G04 or G05 Silver Matte and works Great on all my DVD Players and consoles(Supposely it's easy on lasers to read in general)Just a thought..

Have me make your backups and they will play better than an original. j/k Biggie is back.

p.s. I always burn as fast as the media/burner will allow.

hehe, ok, I'll start burning at 8x then. it will proba only make the load times a second or 2 faster though. plus that will all be left in the dust when i finally get my network adaptor (yes, it STILL hasnt come...damn ebay people )

Same here, Bighap.

I always burn my 8x Verbatim DL+ discs at 8x on my Lite-On SOHW-832S and I have nothing but perfect, flawless backups

Btw, nice to see you back, Buddy
