Help!!

I am trying to backup my Lord of The Rings (UK PAL), Smackdown Shut Your Mouth and MOH Frontline games but am having no luck. When I backup my other stuff I have no probs. Are some PS2 games protected? If so are there patches available? I am using the brand new NEO Premium Media (generation4.3).

Please help dudes! : (

Thanks

No there are no protections. No patching is necessary. Try one with different media.

PS2 has cd-rom based games and dvd-rom based games. Some of the cd-rom games are protected but NONE of the dvd-rom games. FOr the DVD-rom games i use PrimoDVD and do the global image method. Never had a coaster yet. I use Verbatim dvd-r. I had no luck with Memorex dvd-r.

I agree with Rubber. Verbatim are very good discs and quite reasonably priced. I am in UK and they are about £2:50 a go

I like TDK as well as verbatim. Both work well for PS2 backups

ive just started at this game and have been using bulkpaq green 75p and they do the business but ive also tried these cheaper vivastar only 69p each and they work fine too

Thanks dudes. Sorted the problem now, changed the media as suggested. I have used NEO Premium from www.neotechnologies.co.uk they are Gen4.3 - bang on. : )
