Can PS2 play +R/+RW media?

[Naruto]

I just got my dvd dual format burner and wanna backup my ps2 games. Can i use +R/+RW media since its not as nit-picky with the quality and its not as expensive as -R? Thanks.

PS2 can play DVD+R

i tried it and it worked.

There are many different DVD drives that were used in the PS2, so YMMV, but it should work just fine.

If I were to buy a new PS2 today, would the drive installed most likely play DVD+R?

I was looking at ps2s yesterday and according to the box it can read dvd+r so the answer is yes.

do u need a mod chip to play burned games?

 

[Breezie]

yes

According to the listing at dvdrhelp.com, it plays both - and + RW media. There are some instances listed in the review that do show some testers failing with certain RW media, but about as many successful with RW media (again, both + and - )

I wish the PS2 could play DVD+R movies, but they don't work. Does anybody know if -R movies work?

I have tried a -R in my PS2 and it worked. (movie)
my PS2 is about 2 years old.
