backing up ps2 games onto cd-rw or dvd-rw

totalguy · 03-18-2005,12:54 PM

im getting swap magic 3.3 so i can play backups right i want to know if i can put backups onto rewritable disks so i can then use them in my ps2 is this possible? my ps2 is a v5 or 6 its a 30003 R if that helps.

thanks.

also i heard about patching games and im confused, i read the nero thread at the top about copying ps2 games but it dosent say anything about patching, does it mean if i have my original ps2 game i can just copy it onto a dvdr? and this patching is for downloaded games? is that correct?

no, you need to patch some games in order it to work right in your ps2, If you don't patch it then it won't work....... And yes ps2 can read rw's....

thanks for that, 2 more questions then, how do i know which games need patched and which dont? also is there a list of games which need patching anywhere online? and possibly a list of patches?

Are you sure u have to patch certain games? i backed up my pal original copy of metal gear solid 3 using nero and chose 'copy entire dvd' option which is dvd to dvd and it worked, that game may not need patching then?

yes my brother does them occasionally and he said some need patching some dont but he didnt know where to get patches as he downloads games with patches

I thought it was only the newer Ps2's can read DVDRW / CDRW ?

My v7 cant read either.

Will I did test Rw's on a v6 and v7 and it works fine. I also have ppl tell me Rw's works on there system.....But not all ps2 reads Rw's I know the older ones don't read them......

Why would you want to only play your games from DVD-RW/CD-RW? Everywhere on this forum I read about people disapproving of using DVD-RW's because it asks more of your laser than regular DVD-R/+R's. In mu humble opinion, spent a little more and buy some DVD-R's

My V7 reads DVD+RWs perfectly. I haven't tried DVD-RW or CD-RW.
