Hi folks! Right, totally new at all this, so be gentle! I have a Phillips DVD + RW burner and ive downloaded some games which i have as an ISO file. Can i burn the game onto a -RW, or because my burner is +R does it have to be that type of disc?
Honestly i don't know but i think RW would read in your drive but again i don't know if they would burn i highly doubt it unless you try new firmware for you writer, on a side note Ps2's do not work well with -/+rw disks so get some dvd+r and you should be set as long as you have a booting method.
53. Q. What is Booktyping?
A. Booktyping is the ability to burn a DVD+R so it that appears as a pressed DVD-ROM in any DVD-ROM drive it's inserted in. If you booktype DVD+R's, this allows for greater compatibility with most stand alone DVD players, including your PS2. Your burner has to support booktyping (most newer ones do).

and remember to burn the disc at half their speeds say 8x then 4x, 4x then 2x. avoid getting 16x ones.
Thats a real help, sulaim, thank you! So by changing DVD Decrypter as it says it makes my PS2 think the disc is a DVD-ROM? Thats brilliant! Thank you both!
booting method means the loading method ie swap magic or mod chip.
@stueyd67- hav u got ur swap magic to work yet? if not, i think the discs are faulty. try getting a replacement coz trust me swap magic work top class. i dunno wat happened in ur case.
