Has anyone copied DVD games onto DVD-R using an apple mac, I have Toast 5.2 and hope I can just do a straight DVD copy??

Will the PS2 read DVD-RW's????

RW's whether it be + or - media have trouble in PS2's sometimes they work soemtimes they don't


Fearkid

It could be your version of Nero, maybe

I have read toast does make perfect copies. I don't have a mac to confirm the steps though. I will try to find some. As for RW's read the first answer to Dic888

Hey DextrsLab..... could you possibly answer my question????

Thanks

Dex,

Thx for your ans but I never made it works with the +RW. Do you have tips to make it sometimes works?

Thx

Thankyou Dexter, I would love some instructions if you can find some!

Hey, Leeus
I use an apple mac G4. I haven't made any DVD copies yet but i made a exact replica cd-based ps2 game xcept it won't play using swipecard and AR2 lite...

It is probably because you are using AR2 Lite? You might need the full AR2 and a certain version like 1.8 or so.

Fearkid I did answer your question above.

is there any way to play dvd-based backups on a cd-r with just the gameshark 2 swap method, because i know cd-based backups work that way, but can't figure out if dvd-based backups do.
thanks

OK, i never saw it.... thanks

What kind of places will professionally install modchips?

I have another question. Awhile back in this forum I read about some of you guys making your own slide cards instead of buying one. Well don't you still need the swap magic disc or whatever? Or can you use a game shark, and what version would it have to be? If there's no need to buy any of that, then can someone send me the slide card template please. Thanks in advance.

i have found that using dvd encrypter works really well doing ps 2 games! also, if you have a older ps2? i suggest you use dvd+r's! my ps 2 is the 2nd generation, & it only reads +r's! just a little 411. good luck everyone

this is to dextrsLab once i get alcohol 120% i use it to burn a copy of my ps2 game on a dvdr I then can use the game in my ps2

You will need to mod you PS2 in one way shape or form.

Can someone please answer my question?

Thanks,
Jared

If you read my tutorial you will have your answer.

As for the Swipe Card Template i am trying to find a free ftp hosting site to put the pic up (although I see it on my PC)

I read through your tutorial earlier but I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention. My bad.

Thanks again,
Jared

I read through the PS2 Backup tutorials and it looks really cool and something I want to do,
the only thing I am missing is a mod chip...

Just wondering what the best mod chip is to get and where I can get one... (running very first PS2 version)

Thanks!

Hey Dex, you were right and the problem was that I was using AR2 lite. I tried it on my friends ps2 with his AR2 and it worked fine. Also I need to compare blank DVD prices and quality. I know this little shop near me which sells TDK blank dvds for
3 pounds each (i don't know how many dollars that is. $2 maybe $2.25?) also in 5 packs. i have an internal dvd writer and only the one drive (i think. Its on my other G4.) I'm going to try do image burn. But thers work going on in my house at the moment with scaffolding up so my older g4 is set up in the kitchen and the newer one is hidden. I'll keep you posted if i need a hand...

Also i'm thinking of buying a dvd writer for my pc... is Mirror a good brand?

I am also new to all this and VERY interested in making my own swipe card. I have read that the pic file is not working and thats fine. Can anyone give dimensions based on like the afore mentioned credit card or email me the template?

hey dex wassup.... i am using gameshark 1.9 and i followed all of your steps perfectly. i am trying to boot an import ofsoul calibur 2 and it will not boot. Is this because i have a v7 ps2. please help!!!!!

.......im using the GameShark 1.9 and the flip top ..........

Could any1 tell me if they have copyed it successfuly and played it on ps2 flip-top cover with swap magic discs to tell me what program(s) i need and exactly what settings and how to do it.
