ok baseball28. how much you want from me. first, you see my post and answer it superfast. i appreciate that. second, you have this guide, that i decide to follow for my first backup. got the chip on thursday, got it going by friday (only cuz i was stupid and had the chip in backwards), and attempted my first burn from 12-2am fri night/sat morn.
couple things to know about what i had to work with:
a thompson drive
you guys all talk about disc type, well, mine just happened to be, and no kidding, dvd+r by the name of VALUE DISC. (great deal, i got 2 packs of 50 for 20 each at officemax. hard to beat 100 discs for 40 bucks in a store)
and i dont have nero. i have roxio. but i didnt even use that. i used dvd decryptor in iso/write mode at 2x.
so there you have it. another successful back up with some of the worst tools you can use (though i do like dvd decryptor). and the game was rb63:ba.
props goes out to you my man.
