what are you using to boot up backups? what media are you using?

 

well not sure of what media are the brand is tdk dvdrw they are the one has printable face on them

 

Never, ever use a DVD+RW to burn any type of video or game backup to.
TDK is a good brand, just don't use a RW next time.

Here's the ever linked "Best Media" Thread: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/240341

Check it out and go get yourself either some good DVD-R's or DVD+R's if you plan to booktype them.

2. Q. Does the type of media I use matter?
A. YES: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/240341
If you're too lazy to read, use Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Ritek, Sony, TDK, Maxell, Sony or Phillips DVD-R's. Avoid Memorex, Staples, Imation, Dynex, Princo, Bulqpaq, etc.
CMC Magnetics is garbage. Need proof (Thanks to Alkohol):

If you really want to do the PS2 backup thing right, pick up some Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim's. I only burn to TYG02, the 8x Taiyo Yuden DVD-R's. So far I've never had a lag, skip, freeze, or boot failure since I switched to Taiyo Yuden's. With results like that, why would I use anything else? The brand of media you use means very little.
The key determinant of media quality is the Media ID. For info on the Media ID, check the bottom of this thread.

3. Q. Do I need some type of mod to play PS2 backups or imports?
A. Yes you need a modchip: http://teammodders.com/ps2_mc.php?ex=2 Swap Magic: http://swapmagic3.com/ Memory Card Exploit (Doesn't work with v.11 PS2 and later): http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/109289 HD Loader: http://www.hdloader.com.au/hardinstall#prepare or

wanted to copy game for kid, Ratchet/Clank, using alcohol 120%; hit copy, all went ok, then said insert disk, halfway through burning new disk it came up error, wouldnt copy any more, any suggestions?

How did you guess tokijin, i am using Memorex, i read in your other posts not to use Memorex, will try something else,
Thanks for your paticence

 

An I/O error when burning is usually a sign of cheap/damaged media. Get some Taiyo Yuden's or Verbatim's from http://www.supermediastore.com

 

hey. i am using DVDecrypter and it has worked for a while. but as i ran out of memorex -R/4x i cant seem to make a workin backup. they all say not a valid disk when i use magic swap. i am unable to find any -R/4x at any stores near my house. so my question is do i a.)keep trying to find/order some -R/4x online or b.)some other technique? i would appreciate any advice. thanks

P.S. i have a generic dvd burner that i got a few years ago..therefore i cant booktype i dont think. plz send me a msg if you can help

 

Memorex is crap. This was mentioned in the previous post and numerous times in the forums. Get some better media.

Get some Taiyo Yuden's or Verbatim's from http://www.supermediastore.com

 

sulaim, ok did check those link however i still have 2 more question? first one is instead of a mod chip i am going to use the slide card would this work to play backup ps2 games on my ps2 console and last is if i install the slide card to my consolge will i be able to play my original games still or do i need to uninstall the slide card? pls help me anyone or anybody and thank you.

 

You do have Swap Magic along with the slide card, right? No the slide card won't affect you being able to play original games.

 

tokijin, thank you for you help how about the brand of dvd-r which is the best brand to use for backing up ps2 games? by the way i live in california the store that i go to buy stuff are best buy, circuit city and fry's electronics can you tell what brand are good for baking up ps2 games? thank you.

 

Yeah they might have Verbatim's. They also could carry Fuji's or Sony's that are made in Japan which should code out as Taiyo Yuden's. Make sure with those two brands you look for the "Made in Japan" on the label. You could also get the High Grade Maxell's that are Made in Japan. The key in all these instances is the Made in Japan on the label. The exception being Verbatim's, Verb's are always manufactured in Taiwan. If you can't find those locally, order them online.

86. Q. Where can I find good deals on legit Taiyo Yuden's and Verbatim's?

Great List of Merchants locally, online, in the U.K., etc:
