Hi, does anyone know whats the best dvd's to use for backup copies of ps2 games? i have a slim line ps2 ( black ). I have Infiniti DVD+R. Could these work or do NO +R's work in ps2's.

Also, i have magic swap disks! plus i have the game files on my desktop! how do i go about burning to dvd? 1)can i use sonic recordNow software i get with my windowsXP? and 2)all i do is drag and drop the files and burn? will this work?

Thanks for anyones help, i really need it!

DVD+R and DVD-R both should work on your Ps2 however i am not familiar with Infiniti, use DVD Decrypter to find out what the Manufacturer ID (shown in the pic below:)


my verbs are fake :(

then check the link out in this thread to find out how good they are,

I have never used sonic record Now but if you have Nero open it then select DVD-ROM (UDF/ISO) then drag the files in you can burn that way you could also make an ISO out of the files using something like MagicISO or cddvdgen.
