Hello,

I have a V1 PS2, got it the first day, and I have tried DVD+R, which I have figured out dont work on V1 from forums, and I tried Imation DVD-R (purple bottom). Does any one have any specific brand that they use and is economical? Thanks a lot!

you can only get ritek online. if you must buy it at a local store, go with verbatim data life PLUS.

Thanks, however I found the Verbatim Data Life Plus DVD+R but no DVD-R. Geesh this is sooo hard, just to backup my games hhehe. Can some one please guide me towards another brand? Sony? TDK? Thanksa lot

i doubt that +r would work in your v1 best stick with -r discs, what happened when you tried to boot your backup,what boot method are you using,what game is it you are trying to backup

Sadly...no I still cannot find a media that will work on my PS2. Only CDRs so far have worked. I havea question though. If I havea DVDr movie work on the PS2 will that type of DVDr work for a backup?

Yes, it should. i think your problem is using gameshark to boot. What exact steps are you using to try to boot dvd backups?

Hi,

I am just loading up the Gameshark and once it gets to the main menu I do the slide card and swap. Then when I put it in and lock it back then I start game witout codes. Then it just freezes and the dvd rom drive makes clicking noises. I used this method for the CDRs to boot.

you need to refresh the toc with an large file size orignal ps2 dvd game to be able to boot your dvdr backups, check out the tutorial thread and see if it helps you http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/15105
