mihajlo Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I dont have transcend setting in booktype options, what should i select? And BTW i use transcend external dvd drive Edited May 15, 2019 by mihajlo
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 You'd need to find out who actually makes the drive they've put their name on. I doubt it's one of their own.
mihajlo Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 Please help me it doesnt say anywhere who makes their drives not even on manual and box itself.
dbminter Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Try Googling the model "name." Search for something like "Who makes" model name.

I googled and transcend shows but there isnt such an option. But nevermind i succesfully burned and its playing for PS2. I guess ImgBurn automatically managed to booktype DVD+R DL to DVD-ROM even if i didnt select anything.
dbminter Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 If the Booktype wasn't successfully set, there would probably be a listing in the Log window that it tried but failed to do so. Usually some kind of warning like "Invalid operation code." At least, that's what it says on my LG WH16NS60 when it tries to set the Booktype, but fails. Since that drive apparently doesn't support setting Booktype. Most PS2 games aren't double layer DVD's. Very few were actually released. And, as far as I knew, very few mod chips supported DVD+R DL copies.

I am using Free MCBoot on PS2 and double layer disc is working, i guess double layer disc is working on PS2 v7 and above, i have v10 so maybe thats why is it working.
dbminter Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 It's not the PS2 system that matters. It was the modification method used to play discs. Back in 2002, when I last checked, mod chips didn't support DL copies. But, of course, that was 17 years ago, so things can have advanced since then, naturally.

I dont use any type of modchip, i softmodded my system, not hard mod. I just needed to patch the iso and then burn it, i did that and everything works. Edited May 17, 2019 by mihajlo
dbminter Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 That's probably why it works. Unlike hard mods, soft mods can be updated to include more functions. Well, some hard mod chips could get firmware updates later on in development life of the PS2.
