HOW TO BURN PS2 DVD GAMES "YOU MUST USE A MODCHIP"

read the previous posts before asking a question, you need a swap disc or a mod chip and dont ask me what they are do your homework

 

Ive read alot of this thread and understand about the dvds.i was wondering about installing a standard hdd. is it this easy as to simply transfer the iso to a normal hdd that i have in my ps2? also can i play dvds or mp3s from the hdd?thx

 

@ Bobabe:

ok, then the problem might not be your DVDs, it might be the PS2. Is it modded correctly? Make sure that when you burn the game, try to have the verification on, because if you don't, then the virification could've failed and you wouldn't have known it because you didn't have it on. In DVD Decrypter, there should be a check box availible while burning that says something along the lines of, "Verify afer burn", but the actual words may vary. ANyhow, click on that. If the verification process fails, then the game won't work. As to why it failed, no one can really say for sure, althogh it says it has something to do with an error in reading the file. That doesn't nessicarally mean that the file is bad though, In most cases, it should work.

However, if the verification should pass, then it's likly that your PS2 isn't modded quite right and that's why it won't read the disc. What type of PS2 do you have? Is it the slimline or the origanal modle PS2? How is it modded? Are you using a slide tool and Swap Magic?

If it's a slimline, are you using the SlimTool or another method?

Basically, I"m asking what kind of PS2 is it and how is it modded?

@ Rolls

If you wanna do that, you are probably talking about installing one. Well that's nearly imposable on a slimline PS2 because it doesn't have the ports for it. Althoubh, you can use a USB hard drive, but it's not as fast running from a USB cable and as we all know, PS2 doesn't have any FireWire or that other port. (I can't quite remember what it was called.)

And yes, you can just rip the ISO to the hard drive, but since it's in the PS2, you have to put the disc (preferribly the origanal disc) into the PS2 and you'll have to rip it from there. There are tools such as HDD Advanced to help you do that. You can also use Swap Magic to help you as well.

You can play MP3s and I think movies from the hard drive, but in order to play them from the PS2, you need a media player. All I know about those is that they are a special file type called .elf files. There was a post on the thread some posts up talking about it.

 

thx for the help..yea i have a normal ps2. i was going to try an duse it as a cheap htpc by putting a large hdd in it and havew movies and such on it. is there certain things i have to do to the hard drive? partition it? format fat or ntfs? also i was looking for that thread and cant find it. if you come across it please post it but im still looking for it.

 

people you NEED a SWAP DISC or a MOD CHIP, you do not need to verify with dvd decrypter, your ps2 will NEVER boot a backup on its own, it does not burn the boot code, that is why u need a swap disc or mod chip, i have backed up every game i own and never once needed to verify the copy, people think that they can do this for free and that is not true

 

Ok, first off, I didn't say you NEEDED to, but sometimes the verification may fail and even if you don't verify it, that doesn't mean it wouldn't have failed and if it fails, it won't work. I know because it happened to me. So you don't HAVE to, but you still should because it's making sure all the data was put on the disc right.

About the hard drive... It has to be formatted to a FAT32. I'm not sure of how to fit it in and I forgot which page the ELF files were mentioned in.

Hey, does anyone know where to get elf files like media playes and stuff. I think one is called PS2 Media Player. Oh, and PROBLEMS is right, you do need a Swap Magic Disc.

 

ok peepz so i gor for my first burn does it have to be dvd+ or dvd- to get things working right ..

 

Go for -R, so you don't need to worry about booktyping, or whether or not your PS2 will have a problem reading it.

 

hay man i am a newbe i read how to copy the disc and have done it sucssesfuly but when i put it in the PS2 it says (please insert a playstasion format disc) I think it has to do with the DNAS thing you were talking about can u sent me a link to were i can get that program. o and i didnt have original disc but alredy had an iso of the game ok.
i would like it if you could help me out
THANKS

 

well you obviously didnt read the previous posts to well i just answered this question on this page. YOU NEED A SWAP DISC OR A MOD CHIP, the only thing the DNAS is for is to go online

 

ive got fifa 07 and have copied to my computer! i know how to copy ps2 games because i often do it! but on fifa o7 every time i go to start a match it freezes! some told me that there is a lock on the game and you have to remove it on the pc before burning it 2 disk! can some one tell me how please? i am using dvd decrypter if that helps any one many thanks shaun hobbs

 

Oh god! Do you believe everything someone tells you!
Its most likely freezing due to one of the following reasons;
1. You've burnt onto crap media
2. You use Swap Magic to boot your games, and you haven't rebuilt the image to make it small enough for Swap Magic to play it properly.
3. Both of the above.

 

yeah i use swap magic so how i make it smaller so it will play?

 

Hi guys, I'm having the same problems with fifa worldcup06. The game loads OK, I can change the settings, etc, but can't load the match! Any ideas? I'm also using swap magic 3.6. Thanks.

 

You will need to rebuild it.

 

i do believe that somebody answered this quistion about fifa somewhere in the first thirty pages of this post i would go back and see if i could findit if i were you it was pretty detailed from what i can remember, i do believe it told you haw to rebuild the game but not sure

 

hello, ive briefly read the first page, ihavnt been bothering to read all 108 understandably, i have imgBurn, anyway i cant copy final fantasy ten because the size is too big, its 2,245,200, sectors whatever that means and i want to know what i have to do to copy it to disc. also can i just copy on to a CD-R or does it have to be a DVD CD, i have both, its just preferably a CD, anyway please help me, asap, im doing this for a friend. . i just want to no what i have to do. any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

dont expect any help if you are not willing to look for the answere yourself, there is a lot of information in these pages for a reason, do a little bit of leg work

 

well, why cant you just tell me, if you no what the problem is, if you cna make the time to tell me to read 108 pages you can make the time to tell me something you may already know, if you don't know then why reply to my question?

 

if you have the time to burn video games then you have the time for 108 pages of text. for the reading impared this is what you need


DVDdecrypter
(only works for dvd games)

dvd media
iso file
swap disc or mod chip
time

and i dont think you read a single page cause if you had you would have seen the answere to your questions within the last ten pages

i cant stand lazy people that just want a free ride
