LUKUU Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I have an old Kamen Rider Blade PS2 CD-R game bought in 2004. After so many years, scratches start to appear on the disc and my slim ps2 has problems reading it. I want to backup my game so I created a ISO image file for it but the image file I created had a Mode 1 File System. I thought Mode 1 file systems were for PS2 DVD-R games? I tried to burn it at 1x and 4x with IMG burn on a CD-R but my ps2 just won't read it. It recognises it as a ps2 game but after the logo, the ps2 backup disc starts to spin really fast and gives off a loud fan like noise. Should I burn it to a DVD-R ? ( though the original game was a cd-r ) Or is there any way I can convert it to a Mode 2, Form 1 file system ( for ps2 cd games ). P.S Is it alright for me to ask this questions???? But I don't want to buy another brand new copy from ebay, I've already got one but its about to spoil help!!!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Put the original back in the drive and copy + paste the disc info text on the right please.
LUKUU Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 Put the original back in the drive and copy + paste the disc info text on the right please. What speed should I copy it at? Its a cd-r game with a mode 1/2048 file system? Is 1x ok? Or maybe 12x?( I heard people say I should copy ps2 cd games at 12x)
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I'm not saying to copy it, I'm just saying to post the info from the disc info panel on the right (i.e. NOT the log window). Burning at certain speeds is a myth. You burn at whichever speed your drive does the best job at - and that all comes down to the drive/firmware/media combo. What works well for one combo might be awful for another one. What CD-R's are you using? Given the choice, I'd only ever (and do only ever) use some based on the Taiyo Yuden dyes.

The CD-Rs I'm using are Verbatim CD-R recordable, 700mb, 1x to 52x, 80min, green bottom. This is the disc info of the cd-r after I burned it: LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S PS0A (ATA) Current Profile: CD-R Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 223,611 Size: 457,955,328 bytes Time: 49:43:36 (MM:SS:FF) TOC Information: Session 1... (LBA: 0 - 223610) -> Track 01 (Mode 1, LBA: 0 - 223610) -> LeadOut (LBA: 223611) Track Information: Session 1... -> Track 01 (LTSA: 0, TS: 223609) ATIP Information: Start Time of LeadIn (MID): 97m26s66f Last Possible Start Time of LeadOut: 79m59s71f It shows Mode 1 which I think are usually in DVD ps2 games, should I burn the file then to a DVD-R using 1x speed? Can I actually burn Mode 1/2048 file types to dvd? I saw from other forums that DVD Ps2 games have mode 1 while ps1 and ps2 cd-rs have mode 2, form 1. But both are also CDFS, can someone explain to me? P.S. I have a 9000X version of slim ps2, so what write speed should I use for cds or dvds? Edited October 23, 2009 by LUKUU
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Yeah that's not the original disc is it... it's a CD-R. When you read the original, do not force the program to use a specific file extension, go with what it suggests. Mode 1 / 2048 is *all* you can burn to a DVD. If a simple read of the original and write on cd doesn't work (but it burns + verifies ok), I have no idea - but the issue probably isn't something I can help you with anyway (it could be copy protection).
