Hi guys this is my first post and I really need some help so if this is in the wrong place please move it. I got the fat PS2....and I just ordered as using Breaker Pro I think I can install it. So I just wanted to get the jump on how to burn PSX games and the only thing that I'm having trouble with is burning the PSX backups. I downloaded Alcohol 120% and I managed to burn Star Ocean: Second Story Disc 1 on a 700 MB CD-R and I set it just like someone else said in one thread said.

Okay I figured it out. Thank you afterdawn forums. Make sure you burn your backup with Alcohol 120% on Playstation mode, in DAO/SAO mode on the lowest possible write speed. If you boot it on your PC, it'll read speedial, the bin file, and, s/t in SLUS format.

I did that when I burned Star Ocean Disc 1 right....but the next disc is 717 MB and won't fit on a CD-R so do I have to burn it on a DVD-R? and another problem I'm having is that when I burned the first CD the setting were fine. I burned it on DAO/SAO in Playstation mode like you said but then when I tried to burn Disc 2 right it won't let me pick the same settings I did for the last one. Whenever I try to select it to burn in Playstation mode, DAO/SAO, lowest speed it changes the settings to RAW DAO and it won't let me set it to DAO/SAO, Playstation mode. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

All help is appreciated.

I'm in the exact same spot you're in, except I can't seem to figure out which CD-Rs are best for PSX burns on the PS2.

If you change any of the settings after selecting Playstation defaults, it will always switch to Custom, this is normal. I usually burn my CD/PSX games for the PS2 in RAW DAO. If the file is bigger than 700 meg don't stress, as long as its a PSX game or a CD PS2 game, it will fit. You must however have the linking file (usually an .mds .cue .ccd etc) that tells alchol how to combine the audio layers together. If you point it at the image file (.iso .bin .mdf etc) it will most likely say its too big because it has no instructions on how to compress the file to fit onto a cd.
