is the cdr 800mb are usable with a ps2 ?

[bigup]

Hi,

I have burnt fireblade and hitman 2 on cdr 90 (800mb) and it can't be load, I don't understand.



If someone have a solution, tell me

ps:sorry for my english, I'm french

[FlyingDutchman]

depends on what mod you have (if you have)
no-solder mods won't run these... knife trick and such won't load it either...

please tell us about what way you play backups... (ie what modchip)

[SledDog]

He has a Neo 2.2 and being French, posted the same plea for help over in the CD-R rip forum.

[FlyingDutchman]

well, i'm not 100% sure, but i guess they do work with the neo 2.2, b/c it runs 80 mins cd's too...

i'm not sure though... not an expert on neo's...
it could be the media too...

I thought that it didn't matter what media you burnt the backup on but rather the TOC size of the actual data of the game.

Or do you mean that Firebalde and Hitman 2 are over the 632.5MB TOC limit of AR2/GS2/ReigonX/SMD, and that only solder mods can run them.

[bigup]

how can i see the TOC of the game and if it's out of the limit, how can i load it ?

The data filling up the disc is the TOC, or you can see the actual hour, minute and second occupied by the data if you analyze the disc in CloneCD. To boot these games you could always put the SYSTEM.CNF BEFORE the TOC limit, but when the game needs to load a file outside of that limit, the game will freeze. The only way to completely eliminate this problem is to get a solder chip.

But I thought NEO 2.2's got rid of that nasty TOC limit.

he said 800 meg cd, not an 80 minute cd... I have a few of these, and they are a new format... as far as I know, they don't work at all. They didn't for me with my red magic 2.

[dotkambot]

by the way, it does matter what kind of media you use... the 90 minute cds have very close together grooves, and very few cdroms support them at all.

[Alec]

Ooooooohhhhhh. Well, in that case, you're screwed. I haven't heard of a PS2 that can read those, yet.
