What Ps2 games can I back up with a CDRW
I have recently bought clone cd and had my PS2 modded with a Magic 3. I only have a cd burner, and am currious what I can actually back up. I've tried to put several games into the computer drive to copy, but the writer doesn't even recognize them. What's my next step? My burner is an Aopen CDR 2040.
Any links that will help me?

If his laser is in good shape, yes he can.

If the bottom of the original is blue then its a cd game......
If its ANY other color, its a dvd game... (This is probably why your drive doesn't see the disc)

Arrrgh!! That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the responses guys it definately gives me closure. It's either get a dvd writer or give up the idea of backing up these games. . . I'm welcome to any other ideas.

There is something called ripping. This will allow you to rip a dvd game with a dvd-rom and then burn it to cdr or multiple cdrs. These usualy have things such as video sequences taken out of the game. These backups are harder on your laser too. You are best off getting a dvd burner. It is worth every penny. You can get one for under $200 now.

Thanks again for the response,
I'm now searching pricewatch for an inexpensive DVD-r. What's the difference between a DVD-r and a DVD 4.7Ram duplicator? I just don't want to be taken. If I decide to try this ripping, I've got a couple of questions is there a good tutorial and/or library of needed files posted somewhere? What software would be required? thx

Sadly, ripping isn't as easy as that. There are tutorials, but ... they aren't that user friendly.
------------ There are 3 formats for recordable media. -R/-RW +R/+RW and -RAM All are prefixed by the word DVD. Now... DVD-R is cheapest, AND most likely to work in an older PS2. The Pioneer DVD-R/-RW drives seem to be the ones that people swear by, although I think Cendyne's cheapies (that are on special in Staples and Officemax) are also Pioneer. - Gurm
