read speed doesn't matter
write at the slowest speed possible 1x, 2x should work fine

just open decrypter
MODE>ISO>READ
copy to your hd, then..using this file
MODE>ISO>WRITE

This will work for most games...usually I do a search on a game before I back it up to find out if there are any special burning procedures. Some of the newer games like,

Mercenaries
Star Wars Battlefront...

need for the .iso to be rebuilt

some are special cases like God of War...which needs some extra steps.

good luck, hope this helps

oh, almost forgot. In order to burn with decrypter you need to download nero trial edition. You just need to have it installed...you don't have to actually use the program.

Why do you need Nero to run DVD Decrypter? I don't have Nero installed, and i run DVD Decrypter fine.

just make sure in your settings in DVD Shrink you untick enable burning with Nero.

Yeah as far as ps2 backups alcohol has worked great for me too.But Decrypter is a good free solution.

In my opinion alcohol does a better job burning the image than decrypter or Nero.
