What are we missing?

umm...

We are burning PS2 game (CD not DVD) and we have to play with modchip installed.

We have all the hardware from the market right? and Software also...

We can burn with RAW, subchannel, Errors on the CD.

So what we missed?

Hi,

Are you having problems booting your backup???? or making one???

Check out Deanos site www.psxcopyworld.co.uk there are tutorials on there that will help you out with CDR-WIN AND CLONE CD (your writer has to be 100% compatible)

Also you didnt mention you had a boot cd, your need one of those aswell to play your backups.

i mean ... why we can't play backup without a modchip?

how does the ps2 know this is backup or not? Is there something on the CD that we can't use our software to burn?

Sony have developed something in the PS2 that checks whether the cd / dvd is a genuine PS2 disc.

The point of the modchip is that it bypasses this check.

Hope this helps

From what I've been able to determine, the pre-boot sequence of the PS2 uses the laser "off-Phase" to determine from the colour surface whether or not this is a genuine disk and of what type (PS, PS2 CD, DVD). THEN it goes into the boot sequence that can be caught by the modchip. AR2/GS and the like would need to be produced using valid Sony OEM methods.

Valid PS2 disks are pressed not burned.

Hope that answers you.
