PS2 Backups burned on DVD-R

[ukant]

Hello everyone im a first time user for the dvd media area
and i never tryed burnin any dvds before
i was wondering the dvdrips you can get for the ps2, not the cdr rips, but the full dvdrips, i was wondering if i burned one of these to a DVDR will it work on my ps2?

do i need to chip my ps2? or is they a boot cd i could get instead?!?

please could someone explain to me abit if they could, as dvdr's are not cheap, and i dont wanna start making some expensive coasters

plz help, thanks in advance
ant

Yeah burned DVD-R *BACKUP* games copies works on modchipped PS2.
Tried Verbatim Media & Sony Media.

[ukant]

so even if i burn a fulldvdrip of a ps2 game
i will still a mod chip?


so basicly i might aswell just get the cdr rips right, cus they smaller and they gonna be the same, and it cheaper to buy cdr then dvdr...

so i need to get a modchip to play any kinda copied ps2 game, on cdr or dvdr?!?

[mkelley]

Yup, the PS2 needs to have a modchip to play any backed up game, no way around it.

If you're going that route (and gessh, would I NOT do that -- modding a PS2 is the biggest PITA in the world, unless you're an expert with solder) I'd put in a big hard drive and backup all the games to it. Cheap and much better than messing with DVD or CD media.

Here's a good link to tell you all you need to know:

a bigger hdd? for what the ps2? but then how u backup the games to that...

[Gurm]

GOOD LORD.

You can't backup PS2 games to a PS2 hard disk. There are no utilities for the hard disk yet.

JEEZUS. The Screen Savers people wouldn't know their asses from their elbows. If you want the scoop on PS2 matters:

yea i was wondering what the heck that guy was going on about...

thanks for the link anyways, alot more usefull then the last useless one he posted

[handyguy]

ps2 games don't have copy protection on them believe it or not, just use nero dvd copy

gotta have a mod chip to play them or you can use the knife trick, which is free. search the net as it depends on your version ps2, which you didn't mention.

[ukant]

knife trick?

all i wanna know is if they anyway to play copys without having to risk soldering a mod chip in to my ps2...

so basicly i dont wanna risk burnin out my ps2, so would like a way to play chip games, without having to add anything extra to my ps2

can i get say a chip that plugs in to the ps2 panel at the back or something?
just a plug and play mod no soldering

Lets not complicate this issue anymore. The majority of PS-2 games now will only fit on a DVD, a few are small enough for CDR, just check the box the original ones come in, so you will need a slide card and Magic Swap Disk set. E-mail me and I'll send you the address. $34.00 US dollars. This set-up requires you to remove the tray cover only, no internal mod required. As said before, the solder mod chips are a nightmare, I know. With the swap disc/slide card method, your warranty isn't voided. Questions?

[Gurm]

Yeah, I've got a couple.

Did you think it was worthwhile to mention that all DVD games require multiple swaps at timed intervals?

Did you consider telling him that the list of games that are completely unplayable using this method is currently around 25 and growing?

Those of us who do modding consider your slide cards and swap magics to be the biggest waste of time/money in the world.

$50 gets you an install, $20 gets you an apple chip. Yeah, that's double the money but y'know what? It'll work first time every time.

[jdizzy40]

Well Gurm, I'm 42 years old, a veteran and don't need to lie. Timed interval? Now you are pulling that out of the dark hole, but more than likely don't own the product I have. There is no timing involved. Pop in the swap disk, wait for the Insert Disk to appear, use the slide card to open tray, insert back-up, push tray shut, use slide card to lock try. And there hasn't been a game in the past year that I can't play from a back-up. And maybe you should mention the wear on the lazer caused by the mod chip and failures people are having. More PS-2s have been destroyed or rendered useless by mod chips, plus it voids the warranty. Maybe you should buy the new swap discs and and see for yourself, but then again you are so knowledgable. Pull your head out and quit putting out bad information you know nothing about.

i was wondering the dvdrips you can download for the ps2, not the cdr rips, but the full dvdrips

interesting...

[jeex]

if you dont want to risk soldering your ps2 and ruining it you can purchase a fliptop lid.. basically its a modified ps2 lid that lets you load games through the top so that the ps2 doesnt know that you are inserting a copy (which it checks when you eject the tray)..

basically you boot up off the swap magic cd or dvd (cd for cd games, dvd for dvd games), then you insert the copy through the lid..

as of right now, the majority of games work with the version 2.0 of swap magic.. but swap magic 3.0 is coming out that will allow for the booting of dvdrips (80min dvdrips on cd-r) and the booting of "problematic" games.. it also resolves the v7 issues.. the ETA on this is about a month, but that could change..

its a good method if you're afraid to solder & ruin your ps2.

[ukant]

thanks for all the info everyone

im interested in where abouts i could get a slide card and swap magic from

also jeex where abouts did you find that new top that allows u to insert new discs without opening

These games don't work with fliptops and swap magic discs
Plus you can play ps2 dvd-rips (dvds put onto cd) unless you use a rip kit on them

The new swap magic will supposedly solve all these problems we will see.
You warranty is void once 90 days are up also (fliptop also voids your warranty too.)

The cog swaploader disk is supposed to fix most version 7 problems but not all.
The cdloader fixes most problems that are non dvd-rip related in versions 1-6

I dont hate swap magic disks and slide cards but mod chips arent as evil as you think they are.

The largest factor in laser wear is cheap media the no swap mods dont add any extra wear and tear to the laser they dont cause it to power up any more or less it effects the bios

I know a very good installer if anyone needs one

I thinks its a personal choice its different strokes for different folks and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect that.

how the heck can adding a fliptop lid screw your warranty

if it breaks, remove the case... and add old one..

u can unsolder a mod chip when ya ps2 screws can you
think i take a look at the fliptops abit more

If your sticker seal is broken then your warranty is void
You have to break the seal to add a flip top or a chip.

After 3 months the warranty is expires anyway and they charge you $100 (the last time I checked to replace your unit if its out of warranty)
Also they do work on referbs I hear too without the warranty sticker

It ususally takes over a month to get it back from them
If you ever need a ps2 repair let me know I do those too

Also just to clear up a few other things the swap magic disks will play about 90% of any dvd-rs but no dvd-rips unless you aplpy the rip kits or fix them yourself (me personally I think its more trouble than its worth but it depends on if you enjoy doing this type of thing )

DVD-rs are so much easir to deal with

A chip will play pretty much anything without any fuss
The only exception is import psone games they require a patch this only takes about 10 seconds to apply to a disk image

my ps2 has no warranty sticker along the side...brought it new too, hows that figure?

[The village idiot]

Someone sold you a remanufactured machine? This is all very interesting to me, espcially since I do not have a PS2. One day while looking around, I thought I saw an ad for an external mod device. Do these exist and do they actually work?

I make them myself and sell them (lemme know if you are interested) but they can only play cd-rs and you still have to solder one wire inside and they dont work in the latest ps2s

On the plus side they will allow you to play dvd-rips (dvd games that have content downsampled or removed so they can fit onto cds) if you use the swap magic disks and if you have a version 1-4 ps2 and you can play your psone backups.

Since swap magic does not allow you to play dvd-rips or psone backups just insert the external mod to play psone backups and for ps2 dvd-rips just follow regular swap magic instructions with chip inserted)

Either sony made a big mistake in manufacturing or someone was not honest about telling you that it was not brand new , or that is a refurbished machine.

Did you pay $179.99 for this?
Without as warranty sticker (the black sticker on the back) you should never pay more than $149 for a refurb machine.
(seen these as cheap as $119 )

edit:

Sorry I meant used PS2 dont have a warranty sticker
Even sony Refurbished PS2s have the warranty sticker reapplied

I dont have a PS2, but do have a PS1 and got my chip from
http://www.modchip.com/
They have lots of stuff for the PS2 and Game cube there also. (no solder modchips, swap disks ...)
The shipping took a little longer than I expected, but had good color pictures for the install and works good.

-D

Thankfully, if I ever do get a PS2, I'm very good at soldering tiny little wires to tiny little solder pads or test points. So I have no fear of putting in the best solder in mods, and actually that is half the fun.

Cool right now a Messiah 2 or DMS3 are at the top of the PS2 modchip foodchain.

www.foundmy.com has messiah 2 for $40 and DMS3 for $47

They work well and play every ps2 cd-r\dvd-r backups and import originals you just insert the game and it plays for all ps2 disks
psone backups you just hold down reset for 4 seconds when starting up
These chips can also be disabled so you can play orginal games online (backups dont work online for all new games with DNAS there are at least 9 old ones that do in the US that are non DNAS games and probably any new online game will have DNAS protection)

(the only exception is mod protected import psone games but they can be patched in 10sec if you put the image of your original on your computer)also these games are few and far between

hey I have a Magic Swap 2.0 Discs w/ Slide Card and I was just wondering if i can burn DVD ps2 games on CD-R if so how?

1st you need a dvd-rom drive and cd-rw
Then
You have to figure out how to reorder the image and downsample video and/ or audio and reorder them figure out how to leave out or add stuff and wokr with dumy files.

Everygame is different so no 2 are exactly the same and there are kits that make it a lttle easier but its1000 X easier to get a $80 DVD dual writer from staples right now

OOpps I think i did it again
LOL

Also for those that are interested this site will give you the low down on exactly what games will or wont work with swapmagic disks

There are about 6-8 US games that wont work and about 20 overall that wont with any means in a version 7 ps2 but 1-6 can play everthing pretty much with about 2-3 s disk swaps a chip is sooooooooooooooooo much easier.
