PS1/2 writing PS2 Iso.

[test84]

hi,
i've downloaded FF X-2, but how should i burn it?
which software with which options?
thnx!

 

[Sekkyumu]

Well... I think by google-ing you would definitely find the answer but I suggest you use Nero Burning Rom to burn.
Which settings ? I dunno. I'm not that good at burning ISO stuff anyway

.

Nah man, Alcohol 120% is the way to go, just burn it at under 4x and your good to go.

 

[test84]

thnx man, is there any need for ticking any options?
my friend burned bully for me, but it takes forever to load.

i think he did it with Nero.

 

[Sc4rFac3d]

nope, you don't have to tick any options. just leave em except for the burn speed.

I just use ImgBurn. You don't need complex bloated expensive programs like Nero or A120% for PS2 games. It's free, can burn just about every image format, and is just over 1MB.

Which discs are the best for PS2?

I tried some old Riteks because everyone and their moogle said they were the best for PS2, but they don't work on my PS2. :/

 

[GeneralLeoFF]

Really no such thing as the "best". What works for one PS2 wont always work for another. This can be true even for same model numbers. I would say what is "best" is whatever works for your system and is in your price range. DVD-R tends to generally be more compatible than DVD+R when it comes to the PS2 but sometimes DVD+R works just fine.

I personally just use common store brand discs for my PS2. You know the ones that are always on sale for a pack of 100 every week. Most of the time those end up being mid range discs on most "quality" media lists.

 

[Devante]

True. But there are certain brands that usually work for most people.

Almost everyone was liking Ritek for a long time.
A "which CD is best" topic would get mostly Ritek answers.

But that was a while ago and I don't know what the new brand everyone is using, unless it's still Ritek.

 

[iori-kyo-k]

Just use "Nero Burning Rom", launch "Nero Express" and then the last choice "Disc Image Or Save Project".

Choose your iso and GO ! So easy and so damn effective...

 

[Costello]

Yeah the most important is the media you choose.
The verbatim are the best I know!

When you open an iso with nero burning rom, whether ps2, xbox or otherwise, it should auto load the correct settings for that iso. I just open with nero then click burn, works everytime for ps2 and xbox, 360 needs clonecd.

If you think your problems are due to disc brand:

Meritline or Supermediastore or somebody used to sell sample packs of discs. If nothing else, I'm sure they still sell 2-packs. Get a bunch of diff brands for as cheap as you can and burn the same thing on all of them. PS2 drives are picky beasts, but once you get a DVD-R brand that works, it usually keeps working unless the brand decides to switch disc manufacturer. Riteks work great on mine btw.

Just a thought.

 

[Devante]

Strangely enough, some Riteks I bought from meritline a long time ago didn't work.

And even stranger is some Sony discs I got that were 8 speed didn't work recently, but the same discs - just 4 speed - that I got a couple of years ago worked without problems.
