First off, here's all the info about the question im going to ask... i copied it from your ideal post so hopefully you'll all be willing to help me since i did it the "right way" lol :P
Name of Game: anything
Game Region: PAL
Media Make: Taiyo Yuden (-r)
Media ID: TYG02
Disc Max Speed: 8x
Speed of Burning: 4x
PS2 Modification: magic pro 7 (i think..the guy who
did it wrote that on the invoice)
PS2 Version: V12
Game acquired: original disc
Rebuilded: Yes and No
Rebuilding Software Tools mentioned in alkohols guide to gt4
Burning Software: DVD Decrypter
DVD burner: MSI ATAPI DVD RW 8XMax (firmware 160D)
Problem:
I've been reading around the forums to try and find an answer before i posted, but havent been lucky enough to.
My problem is that all my games work fine, but they load slowly.. i mean.. really slowly. Compared to the original it can take up to 2-3-5 minutes longer (depending on what is loading). Not only that but the sound in game takes time to load (eg. playing tony hawks underground 2 - while the music swaps tracks, or voices play etc).
I'm only new to ps2 backing up, but i have a fair bit of pc knowledge, so i've picked it up pretty quickly, but i would like to know if:
a) everyone has this problem and its just part of the trade-off of protecting your originals
and;
b) do people find that using a dvd burner that can change the book type to dvd-rom makes games work better/faster?
Basically, i want to get my games loading faster, not only for my convenience but to extend the life of my ps2 laser as well, but I want to avoid have to go out and buy a new dvd burner to do so.
My biggest problem is that none of my friends have dvd burners, and none of them have chipped ps2's either, so i have nothing else to test with/on except what I've got.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
