Yes I backed the game up with the above method perfectly.. you just said yourself that you used different programs to my guide.. so why ask in this thread??? Use the above method exactly!! and you shouldn't have any problems.. or use my "nero simple rebuild" method...

If you're still experiencing problems after following the methods described exactly.. then start a new topic about your problem in the playstation help forums please and we'll try to help you.. and if you do that then give as much info as you can, like what media you are using eg verbatim 8x discs and give the media code too etc..

my apologies, ive tried using nero as well still the same problem i am using verbatim -R disc and the game is a platinum edition the game runs fine until i reach a spot in the game where it just stops and gives me a error message i have tried copying this game 5 times using differnt methods and i still end up with the same problem.my writer is a gigabyte 8 speed and the games i copy are all copied at 4x speed .copied other games fine except for this specific game. i have read some info on this game according to other findings on the net this game might have proection something called a securom 7 copy protection

There's no protected PS2 games, except for Rugby League 2, which locks at the title screen on a modded console. It's not that, likely some combo of bad image, firmware not up to date, etc. Is it a DVD-5 rip of God of War, it's known to lock up at a certain point. Make sure your firmware is up to date. If that doesn't work, maybe try adjusting the read speed a bit, older burners may need to rip and burn slower for more stable game images. When I had an older burner, I would rip games at 1x and burn them at 2x. This isn't necessary with newer burners.

92. Q. What is firmware and why should I care?
A. Firmware as defined by AD:
Sort of a "operating system of the hardware", an embedded instruction set built-in or flashed into a hardware equipment, such as a router, CDR drive, DVD-ROM drive, washing machine, etc.
Newer Firmware can unlock new features that are sealed on certain DVD Burners like booktyping, or simply enhance your existing Burner by improving burn quality and media compatibility. Keeping your Firmware up to date is essential to ensure quality burns and maximum functionality from your DVD Burner. When flashing your burner with new Firmware, be very careful. Make sure you shut down all programs running in the background, the DVD-ROM drive is empty, and you follow all the directions included in the Firmware download exactly. A bad flash can fry your DVD Burner. Proceed with caution. You can find all the Firmware you'll ever need here: The Firmware Page :: Index

Yeah, I'd like to know what game it is, and whether you got the image from somewhere(don't need to know where) or whether you ripped it yourself from a disc?
If you managed to rip the game files from disc with no errors using apache3 then there shouldn't be any problems with the burnt image/files either.. I take it you're using this method as the disc was badly scratched to begin with?
Get back to us with some more info - anything you think is relevant and could help us to help you with your problem, thanks
