In trying to backup Madden 2005 Collectors Edition with DVD Decrypter the image size is more than a gig larger the the dvd. So how do I get it to fit on one dvd-r? Is it just my luck that I chose this game to backup first and it's one of the few games that won't fit on a dvd? Yes, I am a newb so be gentile if there is an obvious answer I have overlooked in the forums.
since your a newbie, i wouldn't even try, it's hard. here is a guide if you still want to: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~cbjull/
im also a newbie to this kinda stuff... but couldnt you just use DVD shrink? http://www.dvdshrink.org . it allows you to fit a DVD9 onto a regular DVD-r...but im not sure if it works for PS2 games, i havent tried it.
If you get then non collectors vesion of madden 2005 it is a dvd-5 so it will fit on the backup and madden collectors is not really worth it!
