Sorry guys but i had to come back. I wasted 2 DVDs trying to burn the games. When i put the game in my PS2 it works fine up until where it says PLAYSTATION 2 then the name of the game shows up. The screen moves up and down very fast and you can barely see anything. Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks

One more thing guys if I have a modchip can I play PAL games or just NTSC. I bought my modchip and got it installed from another country for about $20 and I remember that the games were only like a $1 so I bought 10 good ones and 9 of them work.

Depends on if your chip forces the games to boot up in PAL. I heard there was a switch device for your PS2 so you can change the video mode! Great for my PSX/PS2 games which are NTSC.

you'd never have to beg if you'd do your homework first.

Yep. Nodbody gets off on making people beg. But when the answer to all your questions is two pages prior to the thread you're posting in, that's just being lazy. If your modchip doesn't force video, you patch it with: A. Use Adrenaline patcher if it's an EA game: http://www.megagames.com/ps2/ps2_utils_files.shtml#ADRenalin%20Patcher Note: I've been told this works for non EA games as well. The screen won't be perfectly centered, unless you have a modchip that forces video mode.
Or patch with PAL2NTSC patcher with Y fix for non EA games: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/121718

Your answer is in the past post on this thread.

They are RAR files. You need to download WinRAR and choose the first RAR file.

Example:
e-drqst8.001
e-drqst8.002
e-drqst8.003
e-drqst8.004
e-drqst8.005

You would double click on the e-drqst8.001 file since its the first file and then WinRAR will come up and let you extract the file out. What it is doing is extracting all the RAR files together and making 1 big file. (ISO, MDS, etc etc) There is no need to choose the other files cause WinRAR is extracting the other zipped files automaticly.

Just for your knowledge. some RAR files will start with a name like this e-drqst8.000 in that case 000 would come before 001 so you would choose e-drqst8.000 to extract the file.

But in your case you would choose e-drqst8.001

After it extracts out what ever image file it gives you, you can burn that file.

did you get WinRAR to extract it?

If not right click on the .001 file and goto open with and choose WinRAR. Maybe it just isnt associated with WinRAR for some reason.

You can also use DVD Decrypter. I downloaded Star Ocean 3 and had the same issue. Load the mds file into DVD Decrypter.

1. Q. How do I burn PS2 games?
A. Use DVD Decrypter. Guide: http://www.angelfire.com/games6/easytutorial/dvddec/dvddec.html Burn at 4x on an 8x DVD-R.

2. Q. Does the type of media I use matter?
A. YES: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/3/240341
If you're too lazy to read, use Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Ritek, Sony, TDK, Maxell, Sony or Phillips DVD-R's. Avoid Memorex, Staples, Imation, etc.

Use good media. No you don't need a modchip to boot Swap Magic. It should boot when you insert it in your PS2.

7. Q. What do I need to use Swap Magic?
A. With fat PS2 v.1-11: Flip top: http://www.chipzone.com/installation/playstation2/fliptop/page1.cfm
Slide Card: http://www.saveware.com/SlideCardUsageAndInstall.htm
With Slim PS2 v.12-14
Flip top: http://www.chipzone.com/installation/playstation2/fliptop-v12/pag...
Magickeys (also referred to as slide tool, slim tool or, magic switch): http://magickeys.net/
or tape and tissue mod: From Pretense: If the fliptop doesn't work, just give up on it and do a tape and tissue mod. Open up your case again and tape the back sensor (toward the upper left and beneath the hinge part of the lid) with duct tape or even regular Scotch tape (I use several layers to be on the safe side), put the case back together, and stuff a small ball of tissue into the hole for the front sensor (lower right just above the power button).

Don't panic I'm always available to help some lovely young Aussies lol. That's a Nero image file. All that means is whoever uploaded the image created it with Nero. How big is the nrg file and what game are you trying to burn?

Burn it at 4x on an 8x DVD-R with DVD Decrypter. Burn at half of whatever the max speed of your DVD is. If you have a 4x DVD, burn at 1x or 2x. You'll get it working. I live in FL, USA.
