Did anyone have problems backing up Hitman 2? and where do you get that patch?

Oner,

I have used DVD Decryptor. I read it as an ISO to the HDD and it gave me 2 files xx.mds & xx.iso I then used same to write iso and selected xx.iso and disc said it copied successfully. Using swap magic & swipe card insert disc . Any ideas?
I also tried Alcohol 120 with no luck

P.S. swap magic 3.0

Can you backup the PS2 Games to a DVD+RW media or does it have to be a -R or +R? I am thinking of using either Nero or DVD Xcopy Platinum. Thanks for the help.

Use DVD Decrypter (it is free) in ISO Write > ISO Read mode...

Also , some older PS2 models do NOT like RW media !; )

Any brand or type of media better than another, I have no clue what the diff is between -r and +r and any of that. Thanks for the help guys. My son just sent us a PS2 that he bought a few months ago and a ton of games, problem is that his sister who is 11 can ruin a cd in about 2 minutes flat. So lies the fate of my old Wing Commander game and the scratched disk 2 and 3 after 3 days of use and $70.

If you have a dual format burner SpongeBobSmartyPants (lol) , then I would highly suggest one of the better Ritek G04 dye blank DVD-R discs...

RiDisc (Ritek G04) DVD-R , Ritek Branded (G04) , RiData (Ritek G04) DVD-R , Ink Jet printables (Ritek G04) etc..

[Stay away from Datasafe & Orange Overprint G04's though]

Verbatim are also a good DVD-R to use [apparently , not tried & tested myself]

You can always scan DVD-R Media forum : http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/47

TDK & Memorex are mediocre at best , there is such media available on numerous on-line stores [I dont drive to get discs]... !!: ]-~
Would offer URLs for online media stores , but it really matters on what country you're in.

THIS REPLY IS DIRECTED AT HACKER
you can use swap magic with cdloader for newer games
or a stealth modded ps2, also you simply cant burn back ps2 games and play online you pretty much have to re author the disc and add crap in patches go here to have a look at some info on it http://www.ps2nfo.com/sitefaq.html

yeah johndv201, but you still need the disc id utility from ps2nfo to get the dnas id.




V9 PS2, flip top, SMD, DVDLoader
Pioneer 107, ritek g05
DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, Nero

smasher, I also have the messiah chip and I just use DVD Decrypter and all of my backups work fine.

I would leave Nero for PS2 games mate and just use DVD Decrypter in Read / Write ISO mode.

Let us know how you go mate. :-)

With Nero 6 I simple make an image to HD then burn it to DVD-R without any problem which works for me.
