PS2 CD to DVD

[KnightWarrior]

I have Ridge Racer V for the PS2..I want to test out ESR on MCboot..as a DVD,

Is it possible to copy a CD game to a DVD-ROM to get it to run on ESR..I saw some files on the Ridge Racer V CD..Can I copy those files on DVD

You can't just copy those files directly onto a DVD, but there are tools available to convert a CD-based PS2 game to DVD. As far as I know, they do require a bit of technical skill though, and you'll have to give me some time to track them down first.

Here's a fairly concise guide: link (http://johnnys-epitaph.com/ps2cd2dvd.html).

It's written in an annoyingly condescending manner, but it should help you on your way. There should be other similar methods that involve creating empty dummy files to fill the disc up to DVD size, but I cannot find any good guides for that at this moment. Try and see if this method works for you first.

I try that later, thanks

here's what I'm using for the test

Game: Ridge Racer V, Marvel vs Capcom 2. iso
Burning software: Alcohol 120%, DiscJuggler
Media: DVD-RW(test) DVD+R (burn)
Burning or write speed at 3X

Marvel vs Capcom 2 is the main reason..but I don't like paying an arm & a leg for,

Is DVD-R better then DVD+R??

Wait, the PS2 can actually read DVD-RWs?

[KnightWarrior]

Yes..I have a Movie on DVD-RW that play's fine....

I'm backing up my PS2 DVD Games on DVD+R..

ESR isn't reading them..I'm I doing something wrong here
