Just so you know, not all your members come here looking for ps2 stuff, you also show up on an image search for “Patton in World War I” lol
You can’t be serious. I just tried that and nothing showed up.
Yes, I expected there might be an indirect way for non-common search terms to bring up this site I would think.

Table of contents updated.
HI,i had download a silent hill origins recently and i try to burn it on DVD,but the problem is the RAR file that i downloaded is different with what u all teaching above. My rar contain the file is like the file you can find on the PS2 DVD while u put in in ur rom,the image file i got is only 268KB..what wrong os that and how should I burn success ?
This is too weird. How can this be even right? The file that you downloaded is a .RAR, but the contents of it is the game contents.
Are you sure that the file you downloaded is not an .ISO file, but just mistaken as a RAR archive icon instead?
Anyhow, how can the image file only be 268KB, that is way too small! 2.68 GB I understand, but not 268KB. Try this torrent instead:

the link u gave me is the file i downloaded…silent hill origins usa blah blah balh…the file i got inside the RAR is MODULES,MOVIES, MUSIC< SYSTEM, some other file as well.The whole file is 2.86GB which is same as the link u gave me, but the image file is only 268KB…god,this driving me crazy yesterday night.
anyway..how can i change the file format from RAR to ISO, i searched on internet but i cant get help..What i mean is, i want to change the format by rename the file,on internet,they all said it just need to change it like filename.rar to filename.iso,i tried it,but when i pressed F2 and rename it,it doesnt change anything
Here do this: Copy and paste the file to the root drive of your C drive, or any partition. Let me make an example. Say my game is Silent.RAR, and I put it in the C drive in a folder called temp.
Open command line, start -> run -> cmd:
Type:
cd temp
rename *.rar *.ISO
This will take your RAR file and rename it to .ISO format.
To verify this, type dir and you will see your file with the .ISO format.
Try to burn this, and let me know if this works.
HI, the file i downloaded firsttime is not complete on emule which mean it might contain some broken file in it,thats wht,this morning finally i got the complete file show that its ISO format,i just think everything will be fine as this is the first time i download PS2 game and burn it myself,so i try to burn,but NERO didnt give me any option for speed that i want to burn so it burn on 8X,but when i put this game on,i hang on the language section….god..so frustrate. So i try to use DVD-RW cause the max speed is $X…so can i ask,if i burn the ISO on RW,can i copy the RW into the normal DVD on NERO and how to burn success?
PS2 does not read RW discs, so don’t even try. Plus, the RW disc can be bad for your laser.
hey..you know what..i had try Ashampoo 6 and it work fine now..well..the first time i chose 4X speed to burn and when i try to play..the CG is lag,but then i burn again andi chose 2.4X…now..its work perfectly..my god…thanks for ur advise anyway…i no need to ask my frind to buy me a copy and send it to me now..i can burn it myself…woooooo
Let me tell you a true story. I have 2 fat ps2s, one is version 1, and other is version 7.
Now I burnt a game at 4x, and played it on version 1 ps2, and the game was very skippy and choppy.
I tried the same disc on version 7 ps2, and it worked fine!
The conclusion? If the in game movies are skippy, don’t rule out a bad disc. It could just be your PS2 laser. If one disc doesn’t work well, try a different burn speed. Rule of thumb, burn at half the max speed, but some games are the exception.
You CANNOT go wrong burning at the slowest speed. Take care.
thank you genius…u must be very good in this stuff..and by the way….how long to take u to learn all this ?
I started last year when I got my used PS2, and then I spent like 2 weeks studying the art of PS2 backups and everything.
Everything I wrote here I have done myself, so I know what I’m talking about.
I like to share the knowledge. :p
can i ask you again,what if the file is .bin or.cue ? do I still use the same way to burn it with Ashampoo ?
Yes, that is correct. The bin file is equivalent to an .ISO file.
Nero or similar burning programs will be able to read this fine.
