PS2 backups on DVD+R...?

    Hope this isn't against the charter (shouldn't be really, cause I'm not offering or looking for help with the process, just have a quick question about the choice of backup media?) Mods, please delete if I'm out of line... :o

    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%, btw)
    (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! :rolleyes: - 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... :(

    (Got them for €45 delivered, so can't really complain - but the cost of posting them back for exchange would cancel out the saving. Guess I could just keep them for movies...?)

    I find it remarkable that people think that because they include a "please delete this if it's breaking the rules" statement they will be immune from the rules.

    As you are looking for information that will help you "backup" copyrighted material, it's quite clearly against the rules. However, I've banned a lot of people in the last 24 hours so I'm just going to lock this thread and give you a yellow card.
