Close all programs while burning like AV, scanners, internet, etc. Firmware is defined as: Newer firmware will improve write strategies, media compatibility and reliability, and unlock new features like booktyping/bitsetting or overspeed. I prefer DVD+R's, but DVD-R's will work just as well. DVD-R doesn't matter as much, what matters is the manufacturer. These brands use quality azo (metal) dyes which will go easy on your PS2 laser. Use quality media like Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, or Maxell High Grade DVD+/ -R's. At $50 a pop, most of us can't afford a new laser at the drop of a dime. Furthermore, cheap media uses low quality dyes which will speed your laser to the cemetery. Unlike most standalones, it will not play anything you throw at it. Before we get started, here's a few pointers you should always use for successful DVD Burning.

DVD+R's also are of better quality than DVD-R's. V.4 PS2's and later will read DVD+R's book typed to DVD-ROM fine. DVD-ROM is the most universally compatible DVD format with standalone players. This improves compatibility with stand alone DVD players, including your PS2. Definitions of booktyping: In short, booktyping/bitsetting means fooling your DVD player into thinking a DVD+R or DVD+R DL is a pressed DVD-ROM. Burning software like DVD Decrypter, Img Burn, Nero, or Alcohol 120%. You cannot direct boot PS2 backups, you must have some type of modification to your PS2 to play backup games. A modifcation to your PS2, a soft mod like Swap Magic, or a hard mod like a modchip. The process is exactly the same as backing up originals. You can also use this tutorial for copying your backups to other discs. Part II of ths tutorial will outline burning and booktyping with Nero Burning ROM and Alcohol 120%. Your burner must support booktyping/bitsetting. I will also outline how to book type with each of these programs.
