Hello everybody, how could i modify PS2MENU in order to burn it on a DVD-R. My problem is that my PS2 doesn't read CD-R but DVD-R yes it does.

Thanks you

AFAIK, PS2MENU should load from a DVD-R without any changes required. So long as 'BOOT2 = cdrom0:\PS2MENU.ELF;1' is specified in the SYSTEM.CNF file and both those files are in the root of your DVD-R. Not sure if you'll need some dummy.dat file also.

Personally, I'd recommend you load it via the Independance Exploit from your memory card though, assuming your console will still read PSX originals.

Alternatively, make a DVD-R which loads other apps, besides just PS2MENU. i.e ps2link/naplink etc.. using something like cdloader, which you'll find more information on elsewhere. Google will be a big help if you want to do that.
