hey...i was just wondering what settings you guys have had the most success with to copy ps2 games using CloneCD. the www.psxcopyworld.co.uk tutorial using clonecd is outdated and some features are different so i'm not quite sure about some stuff.

Also, what method has been most successful for you guys when booting up EA games. And is there such thing as a Self-Bootable game or do you have to use Gameshark/AR2 as a boot CD every time? My friend said that he got a copy of SSX from someone that was self-bootable and I didn't know that there were SB games.

Thanks to anyone that responds...maybe i'll be responding to one of these kinda posts someday =Þ.

what settings you guys have had the most success with to copy ps2 games using CloneCD?

ANSWER: CloneCD is the best copying method because EA games don't need patching. DVD Region-X is the easiest booting method because it has no keys to press and no special boot method.

Is there such thing as a Self-Bootable game or do you have to use Gameshark/AR2 as a boot CD every time?
ANSWER: The only self bootable game is an Original or a copy PRESSED from a SONY original. DVD Region X is a better boot method than GA/AR2 because the process is simpler
