How to Create Self-Booting PS2 Game Backups with FreeDVDBoot ESR Patcher

[@golemxiii]

A quick tip for you guys: I burnt a patched game iso using this method and at first it didn't work (black screen). I assumed an error occurred during the burning process (wrong speed, bad DVD-R brand...) so I burnt the same iso on another blank DVD-R. Same result (black screen). Then I had an idea and changed the PS2 default language to English in the main configuration menu, restarted the console with the same burnt DVD-R (the second one) and it worked!

[@MrMario2011]

Yep, FDVDB needs English.

[@basschuurman3109]

This worked for me

[@TheDumontShow]

You have been doing a great service to everybody in the community. Somebody need to show some mass appreciation. So thorough for a tutorial . Concise. This is what a tutorial should be. Now I just need to get a PS2 and we are set

[@MrMario2011]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@MrScienceman2000]

Ps2 modding is reaching sweet spot slowly. No longer need modchip or swap magic and take ps2 apart. To get started all need is any dvd burner and dvd-r disk which are dirt cheap nowadays compared 10-15 years ago. You can get decent multilayer dvd rw drive for under 10€ and dvd-R disks are under 1€ per disk. You can just pop patched game in and it boots with expection of few early ps2 models that will be supported on future hopefully. Opl and esr are improving compability over time and soon we are on sweet spot like on wii where very easy run backup or any game

If you change the file extension from bin to iso while backing up a cd in imgburn, it will give you a snarky message and offer to do the proper conversion automatically. I don't know why it doesn't just offer a button that says "backup cd as iso", but at least it works.

This tutorial is absolutely great, everything works fine and just like it should.

Basically just keep the patcher and the game's .iso file on 2 different drive partitions, for example patcher on C: drive and .iso on the D: drive. Then it'll work even without running the .exe with admin rights. Also this is my first ever dive into the PS2 homebrew community so if that question's gonna sound stupid, well, I'm sorry, but does anyone know if the same trick as shown at 7:03 will work for PS1 games too? I'm just curious.
