If the game you burned is a CD game, use Clone CD with ClonyXXl if your burner FULLY supports it. What type of burner do you have? What type of modchip do you have? What type of media are you using? As far as Windows XP goes, haven't had any problems...

Without knowing the exact model of your burner I'm not sure if it is fully Clone CD compatible or not..... If its not fully compatible it won't burn sub-channel data correctly... As far as the brand of CD, it CAN be very important to if will work or not... You said you have never had any problems with the brand of cd or the burner, have you ever had a backup that you burned on these that worked in you chipped PS2....

this is my first try yo...the Acer CD burner model is "CRW4432A"

right now i'm trying other programs...see which one will work with the burner...so far i can't find one that reads BIN files...clone CD don't read bin files does it?

I don't think your burner support Clone CD fully (its not on the list of being supported). Considering it a older model I would suggest getting a newer burner that supports Clone CD FULLY.... Where are you getting the BIN files? Do you have the original game, or have you downloaded it.....?

Try copying from a original CD based game.. Also note: the Pioneer A03 or A04 will not write sub-channel data correctly.. Would suggest getting a Good CD burner that is FULLY CLONE CD compatible AND the Pioneer A03 or A04 for copying DVD based games..... Also, if you can, drop the modchip you have and get a MESSIAH.......

lol yeah the shipment came in today...i found out after i ordered it...but is there messiah in the US?

It depend on what version PS2 you have... The messiah out now works in PAL PS2's and a limited number of US PS2's. (V5 i think). The US messiah is due out any time now. Most everyone of the forum uses Yamaha 2100 or 2200, and some Plextor, and LITE-On. I use the LG-GCE 8320B. Awesome drive and reasonably priced (75-95 US dollars). As far as the DVD burner try to stay with the Pioneer A03 or A04.... They have proven thereselves as being the top dog in PS2 backups.....

I bought mine online off of E-Bay. They have them in most computer stores.... Its a 32X burner... I love it...... If the store you mentioned deals alot with computers if they don't have it, they sould be able to order it.....

Try Pricewatch.com..Look under search or actually there is List under Drives and it shows DVD rom and CDR Drives and etc..
For Best results on PS and PS2 CD format games Use TDK, Sony or Verbatim's..For PS2 DVD-Roms Use TDK DVD-R's,Sony(They're all right)Verbatim,Pioneer or Apple(Never used it but people Highly recommended)..You heard the term "You get what you paid for!! Sometimes this does apply..
Personally I got 2 8X Scsi Plextor Writers(Externals) for CDRs and A03(Firewire External) for DVD-R's..
As BG mentioned earlier Clone CD is excelllent(I use it for making Copy of a Copy) and CDRwin(For Original to Copy)finally Prassi for A03..Always Make Image First and then burn the Image back to the Media..Also I can't say for everyone but Burning slower Speed will have better results..I heard so many people getting problems with burning beyond 16X and up that Ps2 won't load CDR's..
Not for DVD-R's since the Highest is 2X speed..
