Software to backup dvdps2 games
 

Hello, im new to the board ! thanks for having me . Quick question, I would like to know what the best software to use for backing up my PS2 dvd games, and where can you get the software. Thanks !

I simply use nero for all my backups, cd and dvd,(sorry i don't know the ver number)

So i can do a straight dvd copy from my dvd burner no special software just nero?

as long as your version of nero supports dvd writing then yep. All i've ever done is click dvd copy, set the speeds then leave it and its worked 100% for me!

hope this helps
:p

best software for PrimoDVD (for DVD) and CloneCD (for CD)

you obviously need a DVD burner such as the Pioneer A04 if you wish to backup DVD based games.

Ok thank, I have read... so where do you get the actual burning software? Can you download it or do you have to purchase it?

just out of curiousity, why is it you say they are the best?
i've never had any problem with my a04 using the nero software it came with. worked 100% everytime.

not a dig, just curious thats all

Dont get me wrong, I think Nero is a very useful backup tool, however from personal experience I would recommend PrimoDVD for DVD based games and CloneCD for CD based games. CloneCD is the only software that will create a 1:1 cd-r copy.

In a list of 1/2/3

DVD
1. PrimoDVD/RecordNow Max
2. Nero
3. Discjuggler

CD
1. CloneCD
2. CDRWin
3. Nero

Any dvd burners to stay away from? As you can see im really new at this and I appreciate your help. Just do not want to waste to many dvdrs making unecessary mistakes.

where do you live? we can give you links to best sites for purchasing.

Personally I would stick with the Pioneer range of burners - A03/A04/A05.

To backup a PS2 dvd using a dvd burner ... is there any patches that have to be applied to the backup?

nope, patches arn't needed for dvd backups. Just make a straight copy.

Unless you need to covert Pal to NTSC or vice versa.

WIll a nero 2.2b chip with the gameshark play dvdr's?
