Try burning it at 4x to be safe. Is your disc's DVD-R or DVD+R, if they are +R, then make sure to set your booktyping to DVD-ROM

If that still don't work, try getting Verbatim, Taiyo-Yuden, and even Sony disc usually work fine for most.

Forgive me if this is against the rules but I just needed to ask.

I used the DVD Decrypter method of backing up an ISO from my original Dirge of Cerberus game. Once that was done, I transferred the file over to my mac for the burning process with Toast Titanium 8 because my PC doesn't have a DVD burner.

I burned the game unto a DVD RW which I know my console (PS2 slim with modchip) can read because I have burned torrent downloaded ISOs on it before and they worked fine.

This is my first time making a back up from an actual original copy of the game so I need some help understanding why my console would not read the disc I'm burning.

Is there something I am doing wrong and is it in the ripping or the burning process that I am messing up?

Thank you for any help offered.

Thank you so much smokyrain-san. I did try burning on DVD-Rs and the game's working just fine. ^__^

I burn the games on a DVD-RW to test that I downloaded the correct game (so I don't end up wasting money or messing up a backup in the case of this one that I copied from the original.)

Once I have confirmed that it is indeed the game I want, I proceeded to burn them on DVD-Rs.

At least I managed to get DoC to work (and very well thank you for the help). Perhaps I'd save myself the trouble next time and just burn straight to a DVD-R if RWs are indeed harsh on the lens of the console.

Now,

I have had a problem from a while back in which the console would not play PSX/PS1 games and I'm sure modchips allow PSX games to be played on a PS2. (hope this is still in the correct thread... please just inform me if it is otherwise and I shall delete the post asap)

May I humbly ask for assistance once again? Thank you. ^__^

I do think so yes. When you get your new discs just burn it at 4x speed and see what happens.

Hey guys. I've read the first few pages of this forum and I must say it is absolutely amazing. I got DVD Decrypter and used that so read my ps2 disc to an ISO file and then write it to a DVD. I tried both DVD+R and DVD-R at a 4x write speed and chose the .mds file. I have no idea what else to do to make this work. I have a ps2 slim and am not interested in modding my ps2 in any way. If you guys have an idea on how to help me out I would be really grateful!

Hey every1, I downloaded a ps2 game that has 2 folders: Disc1 and Disc2.
In each folder there are many files and a sfv, but no isos...maybe I need to make an iso myself out of these files and if yes, how?
