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

Why dosent anyone close this then they would be forced to read it

 

closing the thread would be a bad idea then you would not be able to get the help you need, people are just lazy and want something for nothing, this is a great thread with lots of info and alot of good input, same thing will happen the next time around if this was to be closed

i must say thank you to all the people that do take the time to help and repeat themselves, it is nice to know that this is help if you need it, as long as you try to find the answere your self FIRST

 

That was the first decent thing i have seen in this thread for god knows how long!

/me applauds both PROBLEMS and dazila

 

hey can i play burned games on a regular ps2 or do i have to get the cd called PlayStation 2 Swap Magic.

 

You have to buy Swap Magic, a copied version or downloaded version will be no good.

 

And it begins to go downhill again :/

Mods please make it so this is in everybodies post

[bold]YOU MUST HAVE A MODDED PS2 OR USE A "SOFT MOD" LIKE SWAP MAGIC TO PLAY BACKUPS![/bold]

lmao

 

YEAH it didnt even last the rest of the page it stated mod or swap disc several times on this very page WOW

 

so ive never burned DVD games for PS2 tried once and failed. so i have 22 little files that i downloaded with the .RAR extension and one file with the .SFV. thats all i have, not any other files. what are other alternatives for the DVD Decryptor any suggestions?? anyways do i have to convert this files into somethin else or ust let the program burnin the files do its job?? any input on this id appreciate it

 

aah. reading this thread, i reminisce on my younger days when i was after doing the same thing. i would just like to take this oppertunity to state the fact that YOU R A N00B. aahhh that felt good. all hatered, anger, and kitty-squishing urges aside, ill tell u flat-out wut to do, how to do it, and who to do it with:

1) take a ps2 game and pop it into ur dvd burner/reader r wutever have you.

2) use some sort of program (i like nero) that will read the ps2 game and make a copy of it onto your computer. this copy is called an ISO.

3) take a blank DVD (+R, preferably) and gently or roughly place it into ur DVD burner/reader r wutever it was that u claimed to possess.

4) use that same program u used to make the ISO back in step #2, to burn the ISO onto this new blank DVD.

ur ps2 wont recongnize this DVD that u burned. aww damn u screwed urself over now. i mean u read like 10 lines of plain text for what? bwahahaa. ok [bold]im jk[/bold]. this is natural. and for this reason, you need a disc called Swap Magic or something similar. you also will, of couse, need to learn how to swap.

seriously, i dunno y u n00bs bother burning DVD's, just use hd loader

 

suchaboy if you have rar files then you will need to use winrar, if you have the origonal(prefered) then use dvd decrypter go to mode, hit iso, read, and press burn then take that file go to mode, iso, write, burn at 4x and you are done use -R if possible andthen use your swap magic or mod chip to play the game it is that easy

 

hey i just downloaded Bully for PS2, i used DVDDecrypter to write the ISO to a DVD-RW, my brother got my PS2 Chipped from Thailand, everything was done succesfully but when I put it in the playstation it won't read the disc, it won't even say reading disc

 

1)Dont use RW with the ps2....not going to work, -R have proven time and time again to be the best.

2)For Bully, read this thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/408385

 

cheers m8 ill let u no if it works

 

No probs, a lot of people are having trouble with Bully for some reason, hope that works ok for you

 

i got the flip top lid for PS2 and the swap magic discs, i put in the DVD and load it, when i get to the load program, video mode screen, i open the lid to change discs and it says insert bigger TOC disk, i try putting in my back up and nothing happens or it will say under video mode not a PS2 disc

 

Bigger TOC(Table of Contents) disk = Bigger ORIGINAL game....must be larger than the backup your trying to boot or it wont work. Load SM, reload the original that has a larger TOC, then load the backup. btw what swap magic are you using, and how big is the game your trying to play? I have yet to run into anything that requires a TOC refresh, i use SM 3.6

 

i got past that part, no i get the not a valid PS2 disc inside SM when i try loading the disc. I burnt the ISO onto a Sony DVD+R

 

Well since that reply didnt really tell me anything....

1)Burn iso at 4x with alcohol, Decrypter, Nero
2)Load the SM DVD
3)INSERT AN ORIGINAL GAME.....not backup....ORIGINAL with a larger TOC, like Devil may Cry or any DVD-9 game
4)After SM refreshed TOC, insert backup then load

if that doesnt work, i dunno what to say....If using normal boot when refreshing TOC isnt working, use square for special boot, then x when loading backup.

 

hello, i've been trying to copy final fantasy 10 for a friend with a chipped PS2, i have tried DVD decryptor and IMG burn to copy onto a DVD-R disk, neither have played sucessfully, this has been tried on two different computers, do i need to have any additional software (magic CD/DVD burner) or anything, the game is platinum if that makes a difference, any help will be much appreciated

 

Nope X is a 1:1 backup

Rip with Decrypter (mode-iso-read)
Burn the image (mode-iso-write)

Not sure what kind of chip your friend has, but do others backups work? Have you made any other successful backups using your burner? Does your burner even support -R??
