Ok guys I have read and searched my heart out, I have a PS2 V12 and now all I am now is confused more than what I was before. I download some of my backups b/c I hate waiting on them to get off the CD's my questions are, How can I tell what format their in and if I gotta use PAL to NTSC? How can I rebuild it to get the DNA's other than WinDIP? Is it ok to use Memorex DVD's just to test? "I hate using good DVD's just to get nothing" Last but not least will I need anything else? I got DVD Burner ISO Buster Nero 7 Apache2 Gnies dvd 4 IML2ISO cddvd gen 1.50 PAL2NTSC WinDIP 1.7 EXPERT 1.03 Swap Magic 3.0 Will I need any other programs? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
when you say format do you mean, dvd or cd? if so put it in your pc and see the disc size, if its larger than 700mb then youve got a DVD and smaller = CD. Swap magic will work with both ntsc and pal, so dont worry too much about that, as you choose how you want the disc to run. You dont need to rebuild it to get the dnas ids rebuildings a whole different process, (its for games bigger than a normal 4.7Gb DVD). Iv found that if you find a DNAS that works for one game it works for the majority of other games you put it onto, so stick with what works! Memorex are ok to test although some games may not work properly if at all just because of the media they are burnt onto, so keep that in mind, once youve backed up a few games you will be confident enough to use the decent media first time and get it working first time! You look like youve got all the tools for the job This shows how to patch DNAS by k4kashi: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/324034 This is the best walkthrough for rebuilding games by alkohol: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/275350 And heres some reading on disc quality by liquidusX: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/240341
some more info for you. http://home.earthlink.net/~moderator/id3.html http://home.earthlink.net/~moderator/id4.html Doing them from the original disc is quite easy really. You can tell if it is PAL or NTSC by opening the ISO with ISO Buster and looking at the files. I know there are 4 of them, but i only know 2. SLUS=NTSC SLES=PAL I hope that you also have found that you will need to mod your PSTwo in order for it to play back ups. Most of the time testing on Memorex will just waste discs, they are the worst and even if they would work on a good quality DVD they would not work on Memorex. So you are wasting your time testing them on those.
