Cant burn PS2 disc

[sarathi]

Hey can someone help me out here, im a newbie. I tried extracting the PS2 disc to a ISO file then i wrote it to a DVD-RW. The files were extracted to the hard drive then i burned them to the blank disc( i burned the ISO). I even verified, everything worked out perfectly, but the PS2 told me that i didnt insert a PS2 format disc. I didnt know why the disc is not working. I think it may be cause of the following reason: when i burned the original PS2 disc to the hrad drive there were 2 files created, a ISO file and MDS file. Though i only used the source as the ISO file when i wrote the content from the hard drive to the rewritable disc.

PS2 do not like DVD-RW disc. Try the same process with a DVD-R disc and the game should work. If you are burning a single layer game ( 4.7g or less) you can use the ISO file. If you are burning a dual layer game (4.7g or more) you need to use the MDS so the layer break in the game will remain in same spot. ( There are very few dual layer PS 2 Games) I have been backing up PS2 games for 3 or 4 years and this method has worked for me using DVDD. Since Lightining UK wrote Imageburn it should work. Let me know how you do.

Hi sarathi,

but the PS2 told me that i didnt insert a PS2 format disc.

Just a thought; you are using a modded ps2 or swap/coder discs aren't you? The ps2 won't play backed up games without either being mod-chipped or swap discs.

I'm from the old school and use DVD Decrypter. Like I said Lightning UK also wrote Imagburn it should work also. Good Luck.
