Only OLDER ps2 games are cd-r format.
All most all of the ps2 games in the last 2 years have been dvd format.

You cant play it in your computer,
There are a few ps2 emulators in devopment but NONE that work.

PS2 games are actually pressed DVD/CD discs, they are not burned. PS2 games use the Burst Cutting Area (BCA) of the disc to identify themselves to the PS2 unit. The BCA is not part of a disc that you can burn on, it is only replicated on pressed discs. So, the only way to play backups is to get boot-discs or a mod-chip.

All you need are boot disks (swap magic disks) And a way to open the tray
without pressing eject. (fliptop-slidecard slim-tool...ect).
The method will differ depending on your model ps2.

You can use dvd decrypter in .iso mode to copy dvd5 ps2 games.
(the few dvd9 games must be re-built to dvd5)

But before you copy ANYTHING you must MOD your ps2,
Beacuse you wont get them to work on your computer.

Here is a pic of my ps2 with fliptop kit.
