I suggest a sub category for PS2 games that are patched for ESR

[Milady]

And if this only suggestion is to simply to make it easier to find those threads with "[ESR]" in the title, well there's a search feature for that. And if the forum's search feature is too complicated for you to figure out, all you need to do is search for "ESR" at the main site.

Ta-da. Within seconds, you have now found all 16 relevant results (plus more). And without any staff members needing to do the hours of work necessary to hold your hand!

Yeah, this isn't happening. Everything is way too much of a mess to sort out, and it'd be way too much work. Considering non-ESR users can play ESRed images without even noticing, and ESR patching takes seconds, it's really not worth the effort.

However, if you really want some sort of distinction for ESRed images, why not simply tag all of them with "ESR Patched" or something. So if somebody only wants them it's a simple search away. That's what thread tags are for

Brilliant.

[luffy4]

that would probably be easier to just have them all tagged

[crimsonedge]

Its way too easy to patch/un-patch games with ESR that making a whole new section seems kinda dumb. ESR patcher can be downloaded and its file size is in the KBs, you drag and drop the game in the window and hit patch/unpatch, it really doesn't get any easier than that.

I stick ESR in all of my titles, it's quite simple.

As to ESR somehow making the ISO of lesser quality... Seriously?

i put esr on my games anyways (its a habbit as the first 5 games i forgot to patch and the rest is history) its really a second nature once your used to it. extract, patch, mount it onto a dvd. hell if you dont want to spend the time just go out and buy another copy of the game.

I second, third, and hell even fourth this. Also Hi I'm Commander Shepard and when I download PS2 games I like them to be tagged with ESR in the title at the Citadel.

Yup same here, I try to up most of mine clean, but I'd just post ESR Patched for any that do.

The ESR patch obviously doesn't lessen quality , it's meant to patch the UDF descriptor in your DVD images, so they have "VIDEO_TS" "AUDIO_TS" folders within the ISO like regular DVD-videos (because even unmodded PS2s can boot burned DVD-videos, the ESR patch is like a work-around )

I had some probs w/ some un-ESR patched images b4 (using them for emu), but pre-patched ESR images don't effect them in terms of content and can boot via other methods (as google states)
