There's a lot more to da ps2 than meets the eye!!

I am messing around making disks containing mp3 & mpg movies. The only real problem is booting em!! Its fairly hard.

Unfortunatly supplying anything about ps2 is hard considering, if i were to give you an iso that contains the files to play an mpg it would be about 40mb which isnt great for people running on 56k.

when backing up a ps2 dvd do you want to do an image or a copy

I heard that you didn't need a mod-chip if you have a gs2 or a swap magic disc. You can use both of them together i heard and then u can play all back up games. gs2 needs an original game or cd that is bigger than the one you are going to boot, the swap magic dvd boot cd is probably bigger than most of the games out there. since you have both of them, you'd probably be able to play any game u d/l and burn. I order a gs2 and a swap magic disc. i just hope it comes soon. I just want to know if any one knows what is the easiest way to boot a copied ps2 game because i have seen so many on the net. If any one can give me directions or tell me the easiest way it is done, PLEASE DO!!! Thanks.

There are boot methods for cd-rom games but dvd-r backups will need a modchip!! The best thing to do is get a modchip, they are not that expensive anymore!! also if you like to read check out..

I have a magic modchip 3.1 for my ps2. I am now able to play back-ups of ps2 dvd-r's and ps1 cd-r's. But i am not able to play ps2 cd-r back-ups. I even back-up a cd-rom ps2 game onto a dvd-r and that would not work either. Can someone please tell me what to do to make this work right.

Thanks Ken

P.S. I have seen so posting of disk drives not working after installing the 3.1 chip this happened to me. I had two wires mixed up and that caused the problem. I also had a problem were the drive would open but not close this was cause buy the way I routed the wires. The case was crimping the wires. I rerouted the wires and it works great.

I am encountering some problems as far as trying to backup my PS2 DVD Games, not sure if I am doing anything wrong or not. I followed the recordnow max tutorial on using the RecordNow Max 4.5 Program and still have not successfully made a back up copy of a PS2 DVD Game, the most recent game I am backing up is Hulk.

I have no problems with making (Nero 5.5.10) the PS2 CD Games they all seem to work fine with my swap disk chip I bought. (I know Messiah 2 is the best!!! But since I do not know anyone who solders well I went with the PnP chip, it was easier for me to install). Any how I am using Memorex DVD+RW and Memorex DVD-RW Disks, I usually use these for recording movies only.

I recently went and bought some Maxell DVD-R & DVD+R, would the problem be me using Rewritable Disks? Or am I missing something in the whole reading or burning process? I also have Record now DX which came with my DVD writer, should I be using this program instead? Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
