Ps2 with modchip question

[PikachuPrincess23]

What disk do I need to use to burn PS2 games?
I'm going to buy PS2 slim with modchip and I need to burn games.

DVD -R verbatim or Philips

-R are hard to find, +R will works but probably damage the disk reader.

Btw you can also use OPL with network share ( samba ), so no disk needed ( but no 100% compatibility )

No idea what your problem is.

• Most PS2 games are single layer DVDs. Any DVD-R should do. No idea if DVD+R require setting the book type to DVD-ROM, but I guess the modchip should boot games anyway. Prefer good quality blank media. I've good experience with Verbatim.
• Some PS2 games (blue original discs) as well as PS1 games are CDs. Read your legit CDs RAW+Sub96 and write the CD-R in RAW-DAO mode.
• Few PS2 games use double layer discs. I'm don't know if they cause any trouble. Note that DVD+R DL media are more expensive than single layer.

Consoles may have trouble reading burned media. Try multiple brands if you get read errors. The aging lasers are becoming a problem.

Good luck and have fun!

I don't have any problem, I just want to know which disk I'm going to buy, so I don't buy wrong disk.

No Problem,my Friend.

So for your Question,yes,please use the Verbatim DVD-R,for the Tool you can maybe use ImgBurn and please try to burn it with maximum 4x Speed if possible.

Good Luck.

For some Games like "Gran Turismo 4" or "Guitar Hero - Metallica" you need Double Layer Discs.
There is also an Patcher you need out there - I think Toxic´s Layer/DVD9 Patcher if I remember correct.
Try to use also Verbatim DVD-R 8.5Gb but unfortunately a little expensive....

Thank you but I live in Norway, so I'm going to find Verbatim DVD-R in shop where I live.

If I may intrude, buy used games, as sometimes the prices you can find them don't even warrant the hassle of burning them.

I got GT 4 for 5 euros, for example. MGS2 for 6.5 delivered at home.

I'd only burn those games that I knew that are not OPL samba compatible or don't offer optimal experience or would be priced unreasonably.

But frankly, all games I found I'd be willing to play are reasonably cheap.
