Backup Loading Time

**colima** · 11-02-2008,02:03 AM

What is the normal loading time for backup games to load to the title screen??
Cause im using free mcboot 1.7 with esr r9b and it takes more than 5 minutes to load a game.

ps2 v12
patched with ESR disc patcher GUI v0.24a
Media: verbatim digital movie dvd-r
Dvd-Decrypter
Burn Speed- 2X

Any Info Would Be Appreciated

How about 8x? I haven't tried. Will this really increase speed? I use Ridata discs (my PS2 hates Verbatim DVDRs and CDRs burned by my current burner).

AFAIK is 8x one of the "best" burning speeds for DVD media on current burners.
Even 12x or 16x can have good results, depending on your media-burner-combination. Slow speeds like 2x are known to cause problems with newer drives. These speeds are only available for compatibily reasons on old DVD media.

Happy mediam for DVD burning would be x4..

You can burn at what ever speed you want.. However the higher the speed the more likely youll end of making a coster..

I would recommend x4 how ever you should look at it like this..
Always burn at half your burn speed for your DVD burner..
So if you have a 16x burner then I wouldent burn any faster then 8x..

Make cents?.. Ya well its your money.. Make costers if you want..
Burning at higher speeds WILL NOT improve loading times!.
All it will do is cause the burn to be done sooner..
Data is writen the same no matter what speed you use so keep this in mind..

Also take note that the laser will have to work over time as its not a press factory copy of the game your using (Yes this makes a diff.).. You may want to do 3 things..
1. Clean your laser
2. Adjust your pots (google is your friend)
3. Use diff. media

Just my $0.02

Later,
