I am new to burning PS2 games. I have an ISO of a game called Rez. I extracted the WinRAR file and got a file called Rez.iso.
I tried burning that onto a DVD+R as an ISO at the slowest speed using Ashampoo - it didn't work.
I tried burning it as an ISO using PowerISO and the slowest speed onto a DVD+R - it didn't work.
I tried burning it as an ISO using Nero and the slowest setting onto a DVD-R and that still did not work.
The PS2 just tries to read it and then goes to the memory card screen.
My PS2 (slimline) is modified as I live in Thailand and all my other games are backups and they work fine.
The ISO is 225MB and contains a folder called 'drivers' with files inside as well as files that are seperate.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks.

Rez is a PS2cd game. You should have used CD -R.
You can burn it to DVD only if you put a patch on it first.

Hello,
I will try on a CD -R :)
Is there a list of what games are CDs and what games are DVDs?
Specifically what are Ridge Racer V and Outrun 2006?
Thanks,

You don't really need to look at a list , if a game is not under 750MB, it needs to be burned onto a DVD-R .

Thanks,
Ian Yes! There is a list!

And what i think the poster above meant is if its is over 750MB it needs to be in DVD-R . Anyway just use ImgBurn to burn backups. It will tell you what media you need to use.

Hello,
I actually use Nero to burn at the slowest setting, is that okay?
Also, if I burn a DVD game onto DVD+R will it work on PS2 ?
Thanks for the list , you've been a great help. I will try Rez tonight.
Thanks again.

You should be able to, but some PS2s run DVD+Rs better than others.
