    I'm pretty sure you can't.

    I mean, you could store both files on a DVD and then run them with an emulator as ISOs rather than CDs. Using the DVD as storage for the ISOs rather than burning them to actual DVD images. But I'm sure that's not what you meant.

    i mean i wanna put soul calibur III, okami, and shadow of the colossus in one DVD+R so when i start the disc on my ps2, it will go to some kind of menu screen and you can choose whatever you want to play.

    I doubt there is something like that, I know for gamecube there is but not ps2...the games are alot bigger for a start and dual layer disc which MIGHT be required if it...it'll put some strain on the laser...so it's a bad thing to make.

    No they haven't done double games (well that the general public ie me don't know).

    But think about it, the games are too big to just compress into a single dvd disc, so a dual layer would be considered...

    But those disc put more wear and teat on the laser, and would hurt the ps2 more.

    There is ONE other way...no burning cd's required.


    A usb hard drive to boot the games to and from an external.

    Do you have an external, powered by mains hard drive?

    I am just a ps2 noob so I have no idea what you just said. I don't have any extra peripherals on my ps2 except for a modchip and my sweet sweet guitar hero guitar.

    Basically, you can boot games off of a harddrive, like the one that's in your computer, but you'll need a better model than a 3.5 series harddrive (which is most likely in your computer.)

    HD Loader
    Also there is USB Extreme.

    I just use SwapMagic 3.6 NTSC-U with a flip-top lid.

    Thanks for the link :)

    But he needed it to have 2 or more games on a single disc...btw I have a burnable version of HD loader...once I get the right hard drive I'll be laughing!


    I heard just about any external with usb support can work with the right software...but I forgot the name I was suggested-my slim ain't compatible with the internal bay drives obviously :(

    Yeah.

    Basically any external harddrive will do besides the internal series.

    Flashdrives large enough to hold a PS2 game will work.

    I use two 8 GB Sandisk Cruzers for my Wii games. and some other flashdrives as well. :p
    I heard that the PSP and iPod don't have the transfer speed necessary to play the games at full speed.
    And the 3.5 internal harddrives just don't load the games really well.

    And the hard drive needs to be in fat32...my nfts one's won't work :(

    I gotta research a bit more into this, I've only got 30 blanks left from a pack of 100 :(

    Yes it's possible, you just need the right software, disc type and games, I've made many of them. Like the PSX, certain games cannot be done this way, but a vast number can.

    Google is your friend here for this.
