Hi y'all, i'm new here, so i'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread. If not, sorry. Anyway, i was wondering, i'm trying to put a ps2 game on a DVD+RW disc, but it wont work ( the ps2 keeps saying: place a ps2 or ps disc, or something like that ), i tried to put the iso on it with DVD decrypter and Alcohol 120%, they both didn't work. I was wondering if it might be because the disc is RW. Since i read on some sites the ps2 doesn't read DVD+RW sometimes. Is this true or is there something else i might be doing wrong ?

Thanks, Ironic

your ps2 isn't just going to boot a backup copy, you have to use a modchip or swap magic or find another way of booting them such as action replay, memory card exploit, etc, then once you've done that, burn it. Ive never used rw's, I use sony dvd-r's and haven't had a problem yet. you should probably read up on how to burn the images too to make sure you know what your doing.

Assuming your ps2 is modded like cky is saying, rw discs rarely (if ever) work.

Hey y'all, thanks for the responds, my ps2 is modded, so i guess i'll just try DVD-R's then, since RW's hardly ever work.
Thanks! :D
