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.

Yes! There is a list!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_2_CD-ROM_games

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.
