      Spoiler warning:

      Only do this with your own personl backups or you risk having your PS2 banned
      You can google for a guide
    • Good Quality Media Guide
      Spoiler warning:
      • DVD5 Media Verbatim DVD-R or Verbatim DVD+R
      • DVD9 Media Verbatim DVD-R DL or Verbatim DVD+R DL

      Also note that not all PS2 lasers handle DVD+-R DL discs very well if at all, often it is beter to look for DVD5 rips

      There are some none Verbatim branded media that do work just aswell specially DVD+R media
      Infact most + media will work - media is a littler harder to find quality media that works on the PS2
      Dual/Double Layer media is very hard to find good quality none Verbatm media
      Recomend you just stick to Verbatim DL media for your DVD9 games if you can play from DVD9 backup's at all

      If you are thinking of buying a cheaper discs though check out Video Help - DVD Media first and find the DVD's you want to buy there, this will provide you with good information including Console reliability
