    Default PS2 ISO burning help

    I'm having some trouble getting my burned ISOs to work on my PS2. My PS2 isn't modded, but I do have Swap Magic. I've tried using DVD Decrypter but it doesn't work. I also tried a program called Easy Burning Software, but it didn't work either. I didn't make the ISOs myself, but I doubt that matter. I also tried extracted the files from the ISO and burning them instead of the ISO, but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advanced.

    IMGburn or DVD Decryptor (DVD Decryptor is just a very old version of IMGburn, both are worth keeping though), use the slowest burning speed and normal DVD+R's do not use DVD-RW's or DVD+RW's, DVD-R's are usually fine but make sure you use the highest quality ones, the best quality DVD+R's are also recomended but in general these are good quality anyway

    You can burn directly from an ISO, never extract an ISO and try and burn the files to a DVD, this will destroy the LBA table that the PS2 uses when reading the structure of a DVD

    Virbatim brand media tend to be good quality

    P.S. to use Swop Magic you do require the lid censors to be blocked so the PS2 does not recognise that you are changing disc from the SwapMaic disc to the DVD+R

    I would recomend that you use Swap Magic to just install ESR, that will let you boot DVD+R burned games that are patched to run with ESR, that will let you play those patched DVD games without swopping/swapping discs or the need to have any censors blocked

    Thanks for your help. I'll try using DVD+Rs. My PS2 is a fat one so I don't have any trouble using it. I was able to get a burned ISO to work using DVD Decrypter. I'll have to try another ISO.

    DVD Decryptor is still one of the best for burning PS2 games and there is no real difference between that and IMGburn, it's just an older version of IMGburn (DVD Decrytor has advantages over IMGburn but only for DVD videos, not the burning side but the ripping side otherwise IMGburn is far greatly up to date)

    Anyway good luck with this and hope everything goes fine
