Hope this isn't against the rules (shouldn't be really, cause I'm not offering or looking for advice with the process itself, just have a quick question about the choice of backup media? And naturally I'm talking about backing up games I already own...) Mods, please delete if I'm out of line... [broken link removed]
I've read in different places that
(a) you can't use DVD+Rs, only DVD-Rs are PS2-compatible (for games, whatever about movies)
(b) you can use either, as long as the discs are of reasonable quality and you burn at 1x... (I'm using Alcohol 120%, for what it's worth)
(c) that it depends on the PS2 version you have. Mine's v.9.
Can anyone confirm or deny, based on actual experience as opposed to just hearsay? Reason being I just accidentally bought 100 Datawrite "yellow" 4x DVD+Rs on eBay - instead of DVD-Rs, 'my duh!' as the kids say...[broken link removed] - and I'm wondering whether I should crack open the wrapping and try my luck, or leave them sealed and try to flog them on...
