I made some backups of my ps2 games about 5 months ago and they just stopped working...They were on sony dvd+r media. The funny thing is i made some backups of other games in the same time period on maxell dvd+r media, and they still work! Here is what i'm using for everything:
BENQ DW1640 dvd burner
DVD Decryptor buring software
matrix infinity modchip, V1.75 firmware
Can't remember ps2 version...don't think this matters since it was working before.
Has anyone ever come across this problem? Seems like a media problem, but it could go deeper than that i guess. It just sounds wierd that that backups can just go bad after they get a certain age. Does it make a difference if the games are NTSC, PAL, etc...I thought these setting were more related to the screen refresh rate and had nothing to do with the backups being able to boot.
Is there a setting i could change on my modchip's setup that may be able to simplify the source of the problem. Currently, these are the
choices i get to play with:
PS2 SCREEN FIX : OFF : Disables PS2 video fix.
COLOR : Games will be output on their original video mode (PAL/NTSC)
with color correction applied to match your PS2 region.
PAL : Force video mode to PAL
NTSC : Force video mode to NTSC
PAL60 : Force all games to NTSC with color correction.
Games will run faster but screen might need adjusting.
VGA : Enable 640x480 VGA mode.
Y SCREEN FIX : OFF : Y screen position fix is disabled.

Should be fine for most television sets.
