I got the game downloaded and it came in a rar. Inside that rar is another. Inside the 2nd rar is 4 folders(Data, Modules, PSS, PRG) and some other files (bin, dir, 75 etc.

What am I supposed to burn onto the DVD? This is the first time I'm doing this, if you can't tell.

Extract both sets of rars and then search aD for a guide on how to burn the files you are left with. There is a guide for extracting rar files in All Other Topics.

I figured out what I was doing wrong there, I had iso ticked in Winrar.

Now once I have it burned, I have a "Not a valid PS2 disc" error

Blah, I'm about to give up. I've tried it with 5 different backups, using multiple DVDs for each one. I can get it down the the ISOdocument , but everytime I burn it I get the same "Not a Valid PS2 disc error". Could it be a bad Swap Magic disc? Or did I just miss something?

You have successfully extracted to an iso yes?

Burn with nero at half of the discs rated max speed. If the disc is 16x, burn at 8x.

Can you tell me what your disc id number is of your DVD's? If you use dvd decrypter in read mode, it well tell you this.

I don't see where it says what the disc ID is on DVDDecrypter.

I'll try it in Nero.
About the Iso, does this sound right?

I'm downloading the games, the original copies got all scratched up.

I'm going to try using DVD-R now, instead of +R
