I have an hp cd dvd burner combo and i am using the right R cds, but my game that i am backing up still isnt working all i am getting is lag. i used verbatim which i heard is really good, and i have used memorex which i heard was only alright. i am burning my game at 2.4x but it doesnt seem to be working. i heard that firmware is suppose to be updated, but i dont even know where to begin im so stressed out. seems like i am spending tons of money on dvds when i dont even think it is dvds , i think it is my burner. should i get firmware for both of my drives?
i dont know where to get updates for my burner (or both drives) i tried www.hp.com , but it doesnt seem like they have it, maybe someone could help me find the download(s) for my drive or drives,
my two drives are called : HP DVD Writer 300c and JLMS XJ-HD166S
ps2person, To Look And See What Firmware You Have Right Now Just Right Click On My Computer, Select The Hardware Tab, Click On Device Manger, Click On Dvd/Cd-Rom Drives, Select The Drive (In your Case The Hp Dvd Writer 300c, Select Details It's The Last Tab And In The Big Box After It Says Hp Dvd Writer 300c It Should Say (EK24) If Not Then You Need To Update your Firmware, Thats The Latest Firmware Out For Your Hp Dvd Writer 300c, And For Your JLMS XJ-HD1665 It Should Say (DS1E) If Not You Need To Update It's Firmware Also. Good Luck If you Need Help you Can P/M Me
If it was a firmware problem, I dont' think your burner would even start the burning procedure. I wouldn't recognize the Blank Media as Blank Media. Due yourself a favor, Get $17 bucks, Go down to Staples and get a 50 back of DVD-R and you probably wont' have the same problem. I'm about to make it a topic right now.
i dont have a -R burner, and i dont feel like spending a lot of money on a burner to find out that i didnt need it. i looked on the swap magic 3.6 packege and it says DVD+R and DVD-R. i would like to keep the +R. ive been spending quite a bit of money already as it is,
MXLRG01, MXLRG02 = Maxell = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
MCC = Mitsubishi Chemicals = (-R)<-----------------VERBATIM MY CHOICE #1 TDKG02 = TDK Corp = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
TAIYOYUDEN or YUDEN = Taiyo Yuden = (-R)<--------------FUJIFILM (made in japan) MY CHOICE #2
Use Quality Media I use
Verbatim dvd+r
***** BURN AT NO MORE THAN 2X****** <-----------(IMPORTANT)
TURN OFF ANY BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS
1. Take the ps2 game put it in the dvd rom or dvd burner, your choice.
2. open the dvd decryptor program then go to to tool bar and hit MODE>ISO>READ. Then choose the correct dvd drive that the game is in as the "source". Also choose where you want the files to be stored on the pc hdd. THEN CLICK DECRYPT , or the huge graphical picture at the bottom of the program which makes it run. The game is now copying to your HDD. Take the game out when finished (it might take a while).
3. Go to the same tab in dvd decryptor and choose MODE>ISO>WRITE. This will then let you look for the files you just created in step 2. Select the file that you just created. (There is only 2 files creadted so pick the .mds) (The smaller file)Then click WRITE, make sure there is blank DVD in the drive.
I have DVD+R Verbatims, but my ps2 wasnt allowing it to play,then i heard that certian ps2s play certian kinds of media, but i thought mine took DVD+R becuase i have a v12 ps2 and swapmagic 3.6, but i dont have a DVD-R drive, so i bought a Hewlett-Packard-16x External Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive with LightScribe Labeling-dvd640e, it looks sick. Hope it performs as nice as it looks. here is a link.
