Quick, Important PS2 CD backup question

Is TDK okay for CD backups?

Never bothered me.

cool, thanks.

Yep. So are Sony, Memorex, and Verbatim.

Awesome. I have TDK CDs and Memorex DVDs.

will a PS2 game fit on a CD-R? or similar?

there are some CD based PS2 games but most wont.

Yes most are DVD. A few burn-worthy games are CD (crash 4, marv v capcom 2) but crash 4 looks like a ps1 game, and Marv v Cap 2 is too big to throw on a CDr so you might as well convert it to a dvd game.

Don't burn a CD based PS2 game onto a DVD. There are patching methods, but it screws up the game...
And don't burn a DVD based PS2 game onto a CD. :P
Just a simple rule.

Don't forget Crazy Taxi! Of course, that game has such little substance, it is probably a pretty small file size.

Pretty much. I picked it up from a game store for about $7 awhile back.

Off-topic, but isn't the Dreamcast the system where you can just burn the disc and pop it in and play it right?Yes, it is.

For the off topic part, not in all cases, you may need to patch the game, as well as over burn...some games are 900mb...and they can't read dvd's.
