How to Burn PS2 Games Using Nero

Your PlayStation 2's game discs are sensitive media items. The smallest scratch on the wrong portion of the disc can cause data on the disc to become unreadable, rendering your disc no more useful than a coaster. For this reason, some PlayStation users prefer to back up their games using a DVD-R drive. A variety of programs can burn backups of PlayStation 2 games, but one of the most widely available is the popular CD-burning program Nero.
