    extract the iso from any of those files in winrar and it (winrar) will extract the full iso to your harddrive.

    so then how do i burn it on to dvd .like i just burn the ISO's of one of the .r31 , .r32 , .r33 etc files ? btw i already did tht and soemhow the 48.6 mb file (mrndah.r31) turned to 3.71 gb!!! after extracting so does tht include all the files from the torrent ? and if so then when i burned it on dvd and tried it then it only showed the crecdits at the start ? then froze ? i restarted but doesnt work .and my ps2 plays fake/copied disks.

    all of those files are linked together so when you extract the .iso winrar pulls it from all of them and turns it into one file (hence why its 3.71gb)

    you can go ahead and delete the winrar files afterwards and burn the iso to a dvd; as far as the freezing part goes, try burning it at different speeds/media.

    good luck.

    ok to sum up: basically a lot of torrents are split into about 50 .rar files. they are basically parts of a full winrar archive. when u click on one winrar opens up all of them and gets the infomormation for the file. people do this to make the downloads easier (u can download each small winrar file at a time instead of having to wait sooo long for the whole thing) and thats basically it

    hello
    I have been researching how to burn ISO files to a dvd so that I can play the game on my ps2 but I still don't have it down pack.

    I have winrar, nero 6, and dvd decryptor. I downloaded a ps2 torrent, I then opened it with winrar and extracted the ISO file.
    this is where I can't get it right.
    Do I burn the ISO file as an image with Nero using a dvd?
    Do I burn the ISO file as data with Nero?
    Do I open the ISO file and burn its contents as data to a dvd with nero
    Do I use dvd decryptor someplace?
    Do I need a modchip?
    I keep getting and error on the ps2 "insert a playstation format disk"
    can someone help
    thanks

    Ok first off to play any backups on the ps2 you need to either have your ps2 modded in some manner, either by a modchip, or by using swapmagic and magic keys II or the slide tool on older ps2's. There are some other exploits as well to boot discs. You can find tutorials in the sticky sections.

    Ok once you have your ISO you can either burn it with DVD decrypter or with Nero Burning Rom and choose DVD-ROM UDF/ISO.

    I personally just use dvd decrytper all the time.

    I myself have bought from modchip.ca, modchip.com or mod-chip.com
    Good service from both. just type the above into google and you will find them. I don't believe you can buy the chip in stores.
    The one also sells a premodded ps2.

    If u have MDS or MDF files u have to mount it with DAEMON TOOLS. Then get NERO and do a DVD copy from the mounted image to the DVD.

    You don't need to mount anything. You have an image file, therefore all you need to do is burn it. If you have a .MDF and .MDS file, use Alcohol 120% to burn the image. Otherwise, you can use DVD Decrypter for everything else.

    The process of burning PS2 backups w/ DVD Decrypter is as follows:

    1. Insert blank DVD into drive
    2. Open DVD Decrypter
    3. Mode->ISO->Write
    4. Browse to image file
    5. Set Write Speed to 4x OR half the speed of the disc (16x -> 8x)
    6. Click on Hard Drive->DVD picture to begin burning

    As said by someone else, you can go to these websites to buy a modchip or get one pre-modded: modchip.ca, modchip.com or mod-chip.com

    You can go hunting for a store that will mod your ps2 for you but they are somewhat hard to find.

    Hello and welcome to AfterDawn Forums.
    Yes your PS2 needs to be modded either by Software or a hardware mod.
    Meaning there is Swapmagic ,the latest versions are 3.6 and coder 3.8,and you have to either use magic keys, fliptop or use the tape and tissue method or get a modchip for your PS2.
    Here is a good guide to start
    http://www.xtreme-source.com/tutorials-playstation-2/1048-ultimate-ps2-faq.html
    Also read the huge faq in my signature maybe first, and then the other guides in my sig also.
    That should get you started to understand.

    How To Burn PS2 Games From Torrent Using DVD Decrypter

    I’ve done this many times before, and its time to share my knowledge with you. Use it as a tool to backup/burn your games. Here we go:

    Basic assumptions:
    1) You have Windows OS.
    2) You have DVD Decrypter installed. Find it here. (Skip the Ad)
    3) You know how to use torrents, and have a torrent program. Don’t know how to torrent? Leave a comment to request a tutorial.
    4) You have a program that can unzip rar files. I recommend WinRar. Get it here.

    Step 1. Go to your favorite torrent site, and using your torrent program (I use bitcomet) download a PS2 game. If you reside in the United States, make sure you download the NTSC version. If you get a PAL game, it will not work on your TV because it will flicker due to the refresh rate of the TV. NTSC games have 60 Hz refresh rate, but PAL games have 50 Hz refresh rate.

    Step 2. Most often than not, the PS2 game you download will comprise of multiple rar files. Select the first rar file, right click and extract it.
    [​IMG]

    Step 3. Once your game is extracted, you should have an .ISO file. Now open up your dvd decrypter program. Go to Mode > Iso > Write. Insert a blank DVD+R or DVD-R. It is recommended that DVD-R is used because of better compatabilty with PS2 laser, but I have DVD+R work fine so it shouldn’t be an issue.
    [​IMG]

    Step 4. Your screen should look like the one below now. Make sure to set the write speed to half the max rated speed of your blank DVD-r or DVD+r. For instance, if your DVD disc max write speed is 16X, put your burner speed setting at 8X.
    [​IMG]

    Step 5. Now the game should be burning to the DVD.
    [​IMG]

    Step 6. After a few minutes (depending on the speed of your DVD burner), DVD decrypter is complete! Now use your favorite PS2 modchip device and it will work on your PS2.
    [​IMG]

    P.S: I don't know if MDS files work on DVD Decrypter! :)

    I hope this helps. If questions, please leave comments! Enjoy!
