I've been at this for weeks... (PS2 backups)

[scamper]

First of all get ur ps2 chipped as u are going to destroy it with what u are doing second try using disc juggler put orig in bring the bar on the right all the way to the left as far as it will go and then start writing to ur hard drive when finished put ur cdr in and let it write it back and bingo then play unless it needs a patch but i did dave mirra 2 and didnt need patch but it was a pal game hope this helps
