I am new to backing up PS2 games. I want to practice with some of my old games, and my oldest game is Manhunt. Obviusly I picked a DVD. So I found some instructions and I was wondering if they would work for most things.
Tools your need
DVDDecrypter
PS2NFO ID PATCHER ver 1.5 OR 2.01 DEPENDS ON GAME
CDVDGEN 2.0
PS2 DNAS ID`S NTSC OR PAL (list of game id`s)
STEP 1 ? MAKE ISO IMAGE OF YOUR GAME
INSTALL DVDDecrypter
INSERT YOUR GAME INTO YOUR DVD COPYER
RUN DVDDecrypter
SELECT MODE FROM TOOL BAR THEN ISO THEN READ
SELECT A DESTINATION TO BACK-UP YOUR GAME
PRESS DECRYPT (WAIT UNTIL GAME BACKED-UP TO YOUR HHD)
STEP 2 ? INSERT ID CODE INTO YOUR ISO IMAGE
RUN PS2NFO ID PATCHER
FIND AND SELECT YOUR ISO FILE
SCAN FILE
VERIFY VERSION
CHECK WHICH REGION YOUR ISO IS? (i.e. SLES )
FIND THE CORRECT ID CODE FOR YOUR ISO AND ENTER INTO DISK ID
THEN PATCH ISO
THEN SCAN AND VERIFY AGAIN ( REPORT FILE PATCHED)
STEP 3 ? BURN GAME TO DVD-R
RESTART DVDDecrypter
PLACE BLANK DVD-R IN DVD COPYER
SELECT MODE FROM TOOL BAR THEN ISO THEN WRITE
SELECT SOURCE FILE
PRESS DECRYPT (WAIT UNTIL GAME BACKED-UP)
Programs needed:
Dvd Decrypter: http://dvddecrypter.com/index.php?act=download
Isobuster: http://www.isobusterdownload.org/isobuster_all_lang.zip
Cdvdgen: http://media.fastclick.net/w/get.media?sid=9388&m=5&url=http%3A//www.btinternet.com/%7Eps2rippininfo/tools/cddvdgen.exe
1) COPY THE PS2 GAME DVD TO YOUR HARD DRIVE AS AN ISO IMAGE.
a)OPEN DVD Decrypter.
b)IN THE DESTINATION AREA, CLICK ON THE FOLDER ICON TO CHOOSE BOTH A NAME AND A STORAGE LOCATION FOR THE ISO IMAGE.
c)CLICK ON MODE > ISO > READ.
d)CLICK ON THE DVD ICON TO START THE PROCESS.
e)WAIT UNTIL THE PROCESS IS FINISHED THEN CLOSE DECRYPTER AND GO TO STEP 2.
2) EXTRACT THE FILES FROM THE ISO IMAGE.
a) CREATE A NEW FOLDER ON YOUR HARD DRIVE TO STORE THE
EXTRACTED FILES.
b) OPEN ISO BUSTER AND CLICK ON FILE > OPEN IMAGE FILE.
c) NAVIGATE TO THE ISO FILE CREATED IN STEP 1 AND CLICK ON ?OPEN?.
d) HOLD THE CONTROL KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD AND LEFT CLICK
EVERY FILE AND FOLDER IN THE LIST.
e) ONCE ALL THE FILES ARE HIGHLIGHTED, RIGHT CLICK ON ONE OF THEM AND CLICK ON ?EXTRACT OBJECTS?.
f) NAVIGATE TO THE NEW FOLDER THAT YOU CREATED ON YOUR
HARD DRIVE AND CLICK ?OK?.
g) WAIT FOR THE PROCESS TO FINISH THEN CLOSE ISOBUSTER.
3) CONVERT THE EXTRACTED FILES INTO 2 BIN FILES.
a) OPEN CDVDGEN.
b) SELECT ?CREATE NEW PROJECT? AND THEN SELECT ?DVD-ROM
MASTER DISC?. DRAG CDVDGEN TO THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR
SCREEN.
c) NAVIGATE TO THE FOLDER THAT YOU CREATED ON YOUR HARD
DRIVE BACK IN STEP 2 AND OPEN IT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.
d) SET THE WIDTH OF THAT WINDOW SO THAT IT IS ONLY 1 FILE WIDE. THIS WILL PLACE THE FILES INTO THE SAME ORDER AS THEY WERE ON THE GAME DISK BUT YOU SHOULD CHECK THEM FOR CORRECT ORDER JUST IN CASE.
e) CLICK ON EDIT > SELECT ALL.
f) DRAG ALL THE FILES INTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF CDVDGEN.
g) LOOK FOR A SLUS OR SLES FILE AND WRITE DOWN THE FULL NAME AND THEN CLICK ON THE ?VOLUME? TAB IN CDVDGEN.
h)TYPE SLUS OR SLES (WHICHEVER YOUR FILE NAME IS) INTO THE 1ST BOX NEAR "DISC NAME"
i) TYPE ALL OF THE NUMBERS FROM YOUR FILE NAME, WITHOUT THE PERIOD, INTO THE 2ND BOX.
j) TYPE PLAYSTATION FOR THE PRODUCER NAME AND SELECT THE APPROPRIATE LICENSE AREA.
k)CLICK ON "REC...".
l)SELECT YOUR DESIRED STORAGE LOCATION AND NAME THE FILE STAR.IML
m)YOU WILL GET 2 ERRORS, JUST CLICK OK FOR BOTH.
(If you get one error message, then you have to download ?WNASPI32.DLL? http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?wnaspi32 and put it in your windows system 32 folder.
n)THE RECORDING SCREEN WILL POP UP, CLICK ON FILE > EXPORT IMAGE AND SAVE IT ON ONE OF YOUR HARD DRIVES (NOT IN A FOLDER) NAME IT STAR.LST
o) WHEN IT'S FINISHED, YOU WILL HAVE 2 FILES NAMED STAR.000 AND STAR.001
p)CLOSE CDVDGEN AND GO TO STEP 4.
4) MERGE THE .000 AND .001 FILES INTO A SINGLE ISO IMAGE.
THE EASIEST WAY TO MERGE THE FILES IS FROM A COMMAND SCREEN.
YOU WON'T HAVE TO INSTALL AN EXTRA PROGRAM THAT MAY NEED
EXTRA FILES TO WORK AND COME ON, ADMIT IT, DOS IS SO MUCH FUN!!
a)CLICK THE WINDOWS START BUTTON AND CLICK ON RUN.
b)TYPE CMD IN THE BOX AND HIT ENTER.
c)CHANGE THE DIRECTORY TO MATCH WHERE YOUR STAR.000 AND STAR.001
FILES ARE STORED.
EXAMPLE- IF THEY ARE ON THE C DRIVE, TYPE CD C:\ AND HIT ENTER.
IF THEY ARE ON ANOTHER DRIVE, TYPE THE DRIVE LETTER WITH A COLON AND HIT ENTER.
d)ONCE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT DIRECTORY-
TYPE COPY/B STAR.000 + STAR.001 STAR.ISO AND THEN HIT ENTER.
e)WHEN IT'S FINISHED YOU WILL HAVE A NEW ISO IMAGE NAMED STAR.ISO THAT YOU CAN NOW BURN IN STEP 5.
5) BURN THE NEW ISO IMAGE ONTO A BLANK DVD.
USE YOUR FAVORITE DVD BURNING UTILITY TO BURN IT AT THE
SLOWEST SPEED.
THESE ARE THE STEP THAT I FOLLOWED YOU MAY HAVE TO COMBINE THE TWO SETS OF INSTRUCTIONS I THINK THEY BOTH WILL WORK ONLY THING YOU MAY HAVE TO ADD IS THE PATCHING OF THE FILE IF I CAN BE OF ANYMORE HELP LET ME KNOW
Will these work for most games, or will I need to do more to back them up?
Thank you in advance

well, patching the dnas id is only needed if you want to go online with your backup. 2nd, most games don't need rebuilding.

So, you are saying that all I need to do for most of my games is to use DVD Decrypter and copy the iso to my comp, and then copy it back to a new dvd, and it will work with my swapdisk?

yes, for most of the games, all you have to do is copy the iso to your computer and burn it. but there are some games...GT4, mercenaries, etc. that need to be rebuilt or patched.

I went there, but now what do I do? I downloaded the patch. I checked the help section, but they only mention Alcohol 120%. I don't have it. I DO have Nero - Burning Rom v5.5 something, and DVD Decypter. Can you step me thru the process after the fact that I already have it decrypted on my HDD?

DVD Decrypter works perfectly for me.
For the media, Verbatim -R 4.7GB blank DVDs have proven best.
The instruction in the first thread (using Decrypter for both, creating and burning the image) went perfectly well in my case.
Just be sure when you burn the image, to choose the ".MDS" file, and NOT (!) the ".ISO" file.
BTW - I was told that you only need the patch for games backup discs, when you want to be able to play them online.
