makes it easier to download and if a certain file is corrupt it would be easier to fix a smaller file than to download the whole ISO again...since the ISO works you dont need the rar files anymore but its up to you

im a newb to burning ps2 games and i got a few questions


1. how do i tell if the game im burning is cd-r or dvd-r?
2. is the datatype supposed to be set at custumized?
3. i can only select the speeds 8x 16x and 31x, why is that?
4. when i press start it justs goes to a screen that says empty disk and the elapsed time goes on forever and nothing happens?

1. If the image is bigger then 800mb then its a DVD image.
2. The data is supposed to be set to customize.
3. You can only select those speeds because it is a CD image. Not DVD.
4. Are you using Alchol 120%? Make sure you have a blank disc, a good CD/DVD Image and make sure its supposed to be on a CD or DVD.

so if the image is bigger than 800 i use a dvd disc and if it is smaller then cd

Y usally around that size. Sometimes you have to do overburns on some images. Which is going slightly over the CD s capacity. Like 720mb on a 700mb CD.

Edit: I Forgot to add, that not all CD burners can overburn.

dam i just bought some dvd-r and the file i wanna burn at the moment is 600mb

is it possible to burn things below 800mb on dvds

Sure you can. it wont work though. . Make sure to check where you got the image from saying if its a DVD or DVDrip. I doubt a full dvd will make up to only 600mb. 600mb has to be a CD image.

lol actually the file is the battle gear 3 torrent u posted

You should have said that then. Its supposed to be on a CD. Im not sure if I said that in the topic, lemme double check.

Edit: I was correct. i did say that its supposed to be on a CD.

If its not an image file you cant burn it. Simple as that.

u mentioned overburning. it depends on the cd burner? the driver im usin to burn my cd's is a regular compact disc rewritable that came with my comp. o by the way im tryin to burn Initial D:SS

Ok... My friend has a burned copy of ID:SS and I was wondering if I could Burn this copy to copy? If not is there any other way I could Burn it?

Also if it helps I'm using my Laptop and I have only one DVD burner drive.

Also I remember in the Past...Ppl could burn Games with BootUp software with the Game and you wouldnt need a Modchip. Could you still do that with the PS2?

PLaying Burned games on the PS2 is not possible without a modchip. Unless you have the Slide Card, which doesnt always work. I would know this since my firned has one.

Is there a way I could burn my Friend's game though?

i downloaded ps2 wwe smackdown vs raw... its a tar file but it got corrupted. any program that can fix this without me redownloading it (2.5 gigs) or purchasing a program.

btw, i downloaded this using irc? is irc good if i want ps2 games?

tnk: you need 2(1 to read and 1 to write) drives if you want to do a 1:1 copy on the fly.......i dont remember if you can do it on ps2 dvd games though since i never tried it


hklnt: depends on how many files you downloaded.....if it came in only 1 tar file then you would have to download it again......i havent dealt with *.tar files in a while...so im not sure.......but if you downloaded multiple *.tar files then i think they can be treated like *.rar files...sooo go back to the place you downloaded the game from....and see if there are any files *.par or *.par2.....if there are some of those.....download all of them and download quickpar 0.9.1.0 (google it).....if you cant get the *.par/2 files............

so ur saying it COULD Possibly work if I did Copy to Copy?

yes it COULD work....but i think you should find out for sure before you try it....you could just make an image using Alcohol 120% to your HDD and then burn the image

omg >< 2.5 gigs gonna take me 14 hours to download... and my account have limit download too ><. could there be any reason why its corrupted?
anyways... this is out of the topic, but do you guys know any tweaks or programs that doesnt require purchase that increase your connection (download) speed?

LOL those "speed up" download programs are all scams/spywares

if u r using BT just make sure u don't have any firewall blocking the necessary ports to connect to the trackers

best place to download ps2 games is by newsgroups.

hklnt: im not sure why it might be corrupted..........ask the person you got it from and see if the tar file is corrupt on their end....make sure that the file is complete as well....other than that i dont know


and newsgroups is the best place

i have a question, if i dled a game and it comes out with a cue and bin file do i burn it the same way as an mdf file

This post has been edited by mercy on Nov 20 2004, 06:02 PM

if you want to use Alcohol 120%(File->Open->cue file)...............Nero and CDRWIN can burn bin/cue files as well

Whats wrong with the slide card? It looks cool. Might be bad for the tray. How bout this thing?

I cant spend a whole bunch of money on mod chips, in fact I'm probably cuttin it close asking for this.
