Hi i know how to back-up a ps2 game using DVD Decrypter but see the thing is i had an old version of DVD Decrypter that if i selected the wrong file it told me. But the thing is my computer got wiped an i lsot that version so i downlaoded the newest one.

The thing is it doesn't tell me that i have selected the wrong file so when i burn i do everything then i go mode iso write. i select the mds file and i burn the game but hwne i try it on my ps2 it just comes up with a black screan is his because im not selecting the right file i selct the mds file should i select the iso?

another on for you

Ok, let's start off with some questions so we can narrow the problem down a bit.

1. Have you made back ups that do work?
2. were they on the same kind of DVD's?
3. What game is it that you have a problem with?
4. How are you loading your back ups on the PS2?
5. when your computer got wiped, did you reinstall the latest firmware version available for your burner.

I can tell you that selecting the MDS file is correct, It is most likely not DVD Decrypter that is the problem as i use it all the time. Unless you just got a bad copy from somewhere.

1. yes i have made back-ups
2. They wern't on the same kind of disc (i will try on my old disc's soon)
3. im having trouble with 2 games. (shadow of colossos, The godfather)
4. i use swap magic.
5. dont know what you mean by firmware only the data got wiped.

i think they just didn't work because i am using a cheap post office quality disc.

when you reformat, the firmware is still in the dvd burner its permanent, just like your mobo bios. Doesnt matter if he reformatted the hard drive, the burber will always have the same firmware, so thats not it.
