That's ok - no biggy - I probably over reacted a little there...

Are there any problems with backing up a backed up game? Do you need the original to burn a game or can you just copy a copy?

Thanks

You can burn a backed up game. The logic is its a 1:1 backup of the original, the same exact thing (without the physical alteration but the burner doesnt read it anyways). The only problem is is that the farther you get from the origianl, the more chance of error builds up. If you make one with an error then make another from the one with an error, it will burn the error, plus new ones (if any) and the patter continues. It's just more reliable to burn from the original, although you probably wont notice anything.

worn or dirty laser will cause this - clean and adjust is probably in order.

If it is chipped the install may need to be checked to make sure nothing is loose.

see my sig for laser cleaning

Hi Ender88,
I read your reply on burning an original game with DVD Decrypter and found it useful. My question is, What do you do when a game is larger than 4.4gig and wont fit onto a single dvd-r or dvd+r disc. How can it be shrunk.

The game must have been a DVD 9 which is dual layer. There are different things you can do: itca be shrunk (textures and stuff taken out), split in two DVDs or burned on a DVD DL burner, which I'm sure you wont have access to. It's up to you which way to go, I personally dont have any DVD9 games, so I'm sure someone can guide you through it.

Don't mind the name .... i'm a it new~
Plz help i figgured that you might know whats wrong with my ps2 since i read youre FAQ which looks pretty outstanding. Anyway i have recently got my PS2 modded and couldn't play copied games since the screen would go blank after i had reached past the main part. But that isn't my problem, u see the guy told me to keep reseting it till the backup worked, then if that didn't work that it was the laser, but once while i was trying all day i started patting the PS2 and then suddenly it went to satndby i tried to turn it on but each time it would go red again after if had been on geen for a few secs.

PLZ**** help if at all possible ThankYou

What chip and who installed it? are you sure they're reputable? I think it's your pwr/eject ribbon that you knowcked loose while patting it. Also, what do you mean by the "main part."

Sorry i couldn't be clear....
I can't remember the chip model i'll check on that!
i have a scph 30003 R model
after i reset the ps2 to boot a backup game it goes blank after it passes the bluey screen part. the ps2 sounds to be loading for a bit then just goes quite.....any ideas? i was stuffed because the guy sayed it was my laser, that it had run out but when i saw that is was possible to adjust it, i found hope. ( u know this is the most useful site yet! )
Anyway you know the power eject ribbon would it have been knocked loose from the cover at which it was attached or lower under the disk drive of the PS2 because it goes under and is attched to something else could that be the problem?
Thanks for youre time i'll try and contact the guy who modded it to check it all. Aprreciatated alot.

Could be either but it's more likely the end attached to the Motherboard. When you say blue screen, do you mean the blue border? It keeps seeming like you're using swap magic discs.

Find a no solder chip installation or similar guide for your version. That will tell you how to get to the ribbon (ignore the steps afterwards), make sure its not lose.

On your responce to burning backups.
I have a game (X-BOX) that is saying:
Number of Layers 2
So how do I split the images using DVD Decrypter
Where can I get that info.
Ive used decrypter for games that have 1 layer and it is excellent. Just dont know how to split the layers.
Cheers

im sorry im no sure if this is considered as regarding-piracy or not. Piracy is semi-legal here so i can buy pirated games from shops but they sell DVD games on CDs , without the videos. I wanted to know how i could do that , not owning a DVD-RW , coz that would really help me out. Thanks and sorry if u guys consider this piracy-related
