    sorry i forgot to mention some details... your usb device must be fat32 format AND you must fully defrag your games once installed. use auslogics defragmenter to defrag your installed game files on the usb drive.

    I saw what you said, but I can't make my device fat32 format because the program only recognizes my C and D drives, not my usb drive. Defragging isn't hard.

    To your response. My burner only lets me burn at a min of 3x.

    EDIT: Holy cow I got it to work. I used the last Memorex DVD+R I had to burn .Hack Infection. Hopefully the order of Verbatim DVD-R will work on it though.

    thats fine that will still be the best burning speed for your hardware, mine is 2.5x even if I set imgburn to burn at 1x it jumps to 2.5x because of my hardware

    if your not already using it I recomend imgburn for ps2 burning

    Verbatim is the way to go for media, if your ps2 can handle +R try Verbatim DVD+R's it's a bit of trial and error though to find out what is best for your PS2 some people can't use DVD+R at all, dual layer is even harder to get working personly I avoid those and go for dvd 5 rips when possible

    Just retried the other DVD+R that I burned and oddly they don't work. Idk if it reads them sometimes or only read the one disc because it wanted to. We'll have to see when I get my Verbatim discs Friday.

    EDIT: It seems that it reads the DVD+R sometimes.

    The PS2 was poorly put together, but thats just sony on the cheap n nasty there are hardly any PS2's that run the same either specially with the PS2 slim thats why it's trial and error with the PS2.

    My advice would be avoid dual layer, stick to verbatim but seen as the -R's had an epic fail stick to +R's

    Just to note verbatim have done more than one type of DVD-R you can check out this Verbatim DVD Media list it should be of a little help

    Also some Verbatim (DataLifePlus) model DVD-R's are rubbish

    Alright I'll try to invest in some Verbatim DVD+R discs then. So what you're saying is I shouldn't buy the datalifeplus discs?
