Yes you can....Use Primo DVD to back them up and use the tutorial on primo that was written by Charlie_PS2...
You can view the tutorial here..Primo Tutorial!

BUT....You WILL need a modchip to play the backups.

thanks BG

i have a messiah chip and i found a backp guide for nero and used that to backup burnout 2 - it was basically copy dvd.

the dvd-r copy boots up ok but hangs before the race?

is this a check disc or dvd check or something and how do i stop it?

What type of DVD-R's are you using?
Also, try USING primo dvd....There have been a few people that have used NERO and had some problems...When they started using Primo and following the tutorial, everything worked fine....

All the awswers for your questions should be on my thread PS2 DVD to DVD in this forum.

go to search C.R.G

This should help as it was all discussed over the last two weeks

thanks peeps,

i have a poineer 104 and a messiah chip installed.

I took your advice and tried PrimoDvd but after installing it wont run it says Run-Time Error 9 and stops loading.

do you know why (winxp?)

is there anythign else i can use to backup

I have tried nero to backup burnout2 and it boots ok and freezes on te load screen before the race

That is a media problem then

C.R.G · #10 16-10-2002, 12:56

I'm using Apple, Pioneer and Memorex Brand and i have one of each that will not load without freezing. What kind do you suggest i try ?

u should try verbatim brands

Griffo · #12 16-10-2002, 14:16

ok, really stupid question do you have to "DO" nething to the backup dvd's like patching or nething?

the media isn't a problem - they are the raw ps2 dvd discs from a warehouse that supplies a publisher.

BG · #13 16-10-2002, 14:21

No, there is no patching necessary for dvd games...(At least not yet)

racingsnake · #14 16-10-2002, 14:39

Wot speed you burning at,,,,try 1x, if i burn't any faster with verb disks then my backups would freeze or take a lifetime to load,,,,,,,

C.R.G · #15 16-10-2002, 17:30

I am burning at 1 x and i am also reading it into my hard drive at the minimum speed and i still have problems. I know it works because half my back ups do play but 1/2 the time is not very cost efficient. And Pioneer, Apple and Memorex discs are not cheap no name brands.
