hi
i own a ps2 game called downtown run and it is heavily scratched
it is compact disc and is only 300mb
i wanted to know if i could burn it on cd-r becuase it makes ALOT of noise in my ps2
im afraid that maybe it might malfunction so i wanted to burn a a backup
i think i have a right becuase i own the real cd-r
i have swap magic 3.6plus pal
and the game is pal


please could somebody point me in the right direction to burning the cd-r correctly
thanks

im thinking to copy it onto my hard drive then burn it and then boot it with swap magic

would this work


thanks

To make it short, yea that would work. You can also use CloneCD and make an image file, search for the tutorial.

i have 2 cd drives
top one is dvd drive
and bottom is cd-rw drive

i have tryed using nero to burn a direct copy and it worked sucessfully

it had no problem copying even though i thought it would be copy protected

i have one last question
if i have a problem with copy protection on my games would i have to copy to hard drive then burn

same thing with dvds

i have a laptop with a dvd-rw
say that my ps2 game is less than 4.7gb and i want to backup it
would i need extra software other than nero to burn image or iso or bin or something and then burn it on dvd-r and boot using swap magic

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/197953

btw,u wont need to transfer the image on the hardrive,just open the disc up with isobuster,then drag the files straight from the drive

Nope, funny thing is that PS2 games are NOT encrpted unlike XBOX and I'm not sure about Gamecube....

U can just use Nero and do an exact copy or make an .iso image w/ DVD Decrypter and then burn that.

Using DVD Decrypter is for games that require patches or need to be "re-built" so that they will work w/ the PS2. If a game is under lets say 3.5gb, it probably wont need a rebuild and ur good 2 go.
