Metal Gear Solid - Snake Eater: back up !

[crank]

Okay I recently got my sticky fingers on a copy of MGS- Snake Eater. It seems using Alcohol 120% it rips to the HDD okay but burning the image back hicupped 3 times & turned my DVD into a coaster :asmd: I tried re-ripping & re-burning, no-go amigo .... every time it crashed at 13% ! So I tried simulated, well that got passed 13% & burned the entire image ! ! :beer: But when I tested it in my PS2 I insantly heard the laser struggling to read it :sword: . If anyone knows anything about this problem & how to rectify it please post it here for all to read & support MG forums ! if it wasnt for these forums there would be alot more people in the dark about backing up their console games ! Knowlege is everything, help others to help you ! ! CrAnK

Hey crank i was rading what you put on the backing up of gt4 on you having problems backing up mg3......i have a copy and i did not have a problem making a backup for it.....maybe this would help you i used nero 6 and used verbatim dvd-r....i always use dvd-r's for games even though some may argue that - and + are the same but i heard with - its more efficent.....so if you use nero 6 and a dvd-r then it will work and i am 100% on it hopes this helps you brotha

Tx for that info Train ! I used Nero B4 but I trashed it coz it was 2 unreliable (crashed/lockups & making coasters) what version do you have mate ? And what program in Nero did you use to do it ? Recode ? Copy ? Another thing did u manage 2 back up GT4 on a + format disk ?
Cheers again Train ICQ: CrAnK 273-613-144 drop me a line :dance:

about gt4, i think you mentioned u were able to burn gt4, i guess we have the pal version over here coz im from australia i dont think that really matters in burning games. IM pretty sure its dvd-9 coz its 5.5gigs (dont quote me on that)! is there any way of burning this game???

[Trainphantom]

to answer both of ya'll questions yes it is very possible...i used nero 6 and i go to nero express and do a simple copy of dvd which would be called (Copy entire disc) do it on lowest speed which would be 2x........it isnt a dvd-9 becuz i did it without a dual layer if thats what you are saying........i havent done it on a dvd+r i have done it on a dvd-r which i do with every other game........hopefulyl this helps u out man......

[Trainphantom]

Sorry i was thinking you said gta4 not gt4............gt4 is impossible to make a copy at the moment and it is not becuz it is dvd-9 they put a certain coding that make sit impossible at the moment........but as far as snake eater u can do it..........

Please try & kep this thread as MGS 3 thread ! There are other threads relating to GT4. Its just gets confusing for others when your on a thread thats starts off on one topic and then jumps to another ! GT4 is on DVD9 - format. If you want to know more check out GT4 threads. Sorry to sound like a ++++head but this is a MGS3 thread.

oh i know but that one dude asked about it........but has snake eater worked for u yet?

[drpuzzled]

hay this thread has gone abit confusing.
erm i need to know if metal gear solid 3 will work with swap magic.
ps2 v7
swap magic 2.0.
if there is any probs, could some one point in the right direction.
thanks a million.

[Trainphantom]

Yes it will becuz i have SM 2.0 but had a version 4 ps2.......and now i have a new ps2 which i have no clue what the version to it is....but i also got a SM 3.3 and they all work just fine............so to answer your question it should

Conclusion:
So I can back-up a PAL MGS3 SE no worries then??? Since that is what I am going to do soon. Any programme suggestions (what programme should I use for this job?) for this game are more than welcome. Programme names etc.
