When using DVD Decrypter I get two files after I copy them to my hard drive. a small MDS file and a large ISO file. Do I write just the MDS file, or the ISO file to the DVD-r? or both? and if both how do you doit with DVD Decrypter? Thanks Dave
yes it is,the mds acts as a feeder for the iso,in the same way as the cue acts for the bin image users on fat32 systems need to always select the mds file,as this joins up the 2 halves of the iso when it is split into 2 parts(for images over 4 gb only)
So hursty.. Do I burn just the MDS file or both the MDS and ISO file? If just the MDS file will the MDS file make DVD Decrypter also burn the ISO file during the burning process. Sorry for all the nebie questions.. but I am a newbie. Thanks Dave
Hursty.. THANK YOU.. It worked. As I’m typing now my son is playing on a back-up copy. Now I don’t have to worry about them scratching the games to where they can’t be played any more, I can just make a back-up as soon as we buy the game. I want to thank every one who helped me over the last week, and if there are other newbie’s like myself reading this give Steimy’s web page a look at. It really helped me. He also has a good diagram of swap disk slide card if you ever lose yours. Again.. Thank all of you Dave
heres the story::: I got Ps2 Swap Magic 2.0 and i back-up my games with DVD-DECRYPTER.... I use DVD+R disks and have sucsessfully backed-up many games.....now yesterday i tryed to back up FIFA FOOTBALL 2005 and it doesnt work properly as in it takes FOREVER to load and say if you foul in the game it doesnt load up untill like 20seconds later!! I only burned the .ISO File not the .MDS File NTFS hard drive (no rebuilding or patches) is that the problem???? Please help thanks
I would say that it may be, or it might also be that you have to add a patch, or rebulid the game... My Story: Used DVD Decrypter, burned ISO of retail copy of Death by Degrees. No luck, so I burned MDS file, works file.
Burn the MDS even though the ISO should still have worked. If that does not work try rebuilding the ISO. That works sometimes. If neither of those work search these posts for that game title and see if anyone else had a problem with that game, or if it needed to be patched. I know Fifa Soccer didn't, but do not have Football.
Are there any requirement necessary for the PS2 to play backed up games or can I just back up my games and play them when my PS2 if right outta the box. please tell me
Lol m8 do a search!!!!... but Ill tell you. You will need a Slide Tool, or a Fliptop with Swap Magic. Or you can have a modchip installed. Im using a Fliptop with Swap Magic, and its gr8! Its up to you!
No, as the PS2 would simply come up and say " Please insert a Playstation or PS2 format disk", in other words, put in a real disk. Swap Magic tricks the PS2 into allowing your backup to play.
Thanks for the help. So In other words. I need to insert swap majic. Wait for it to say "insert disc" then place my backup into the drive and then I get to play. Thankyou all for you help
VyrusNine you will need more than just Swap Magic If you have an older chunky style you need a slidecard or flip top case. with a slim you need an aftermarket flip top, flip top case, or slimtool Otherwise the PSTwo will reset when you try swapping the Swap Magic for your backup, no worky
