1.Before burning anything make sure you have good quality media or else it will screw up your PS2's laser.Check this list:Taken from - Digital FAQ"1ST CLASS MEDIAAlmost flawless burns with 95-100% reliable results:PVC = Pioneer (Japan) = (-R)(-RW) ... media is no longer madeMXLRG0x = Maxell (Japan) = (-R)(-RW)YUDENT, TYG0x = Taiyo Yuden,Verbatim (Japan) = (-R)(+R)MCC, MKM = Mitsubishi Chemicals (Singapore/Taiwan) = (-R)(-RW)(+R)(+RW)TDK, TTG0x, TTH0x = TDK Corp (Taiwan/Japan) = (-R)(-RW)SONY0xD = Sony (Japan/Taiwan) = (-R)(-RW)2ND CLASS MEDIADecent discs, though not perfect, about 80-95% success rate:RICOHJPN = Ritek or Ricoh (Taiwan) = (+R)(+RW)PRODISC = Prodisc Media (Taiwan) = (-R)(+R)RITEK = Ritek (Taiwan) = (+R)(-R)(-RW)(+RW)FUJIFILM = Fuji = (-R)(+R)OPTODISC = Optodisc = (-R)INFODISC = Infodisc Media = (+RW)3RD CLASS MEDIAQuality can be very questionable, about 50-80% success rate:LEADDATA, LD01, LD, LEDA = Lead Data = (-R)(-RW)BEALL = Samsung BeAll (Taiwan) = (-R)(+R)MBI = Moser Beaur (India) = (-R)(+R)(+RW)MAM-A, MAM-E (USA, Europe) = Mitsui = (-R)PRINCO, fake TDK = Princo (Taiwan) = (-R)(-RW)ONIDTECH = Ul Tran Technology (Taiwan) = (-R)MUST = Unknown OEM = (-R)GSC001, GSC002 = Gigastorage (Taiwan) = (-R)(+R)CMC, CMCMAG = CMC Magnetics (Taiwan) = (+R)PHILIPS = Philips (Taiwan) = (+RW)4TH CLASS MEDIAPathetic garbage media, landfill material, about 0-50% success rate:CMC, CMCMAG = CMC Magnetics (Taiwan) = (-R)PIODATA, PIO = LeadData/ Ritek (Taiwan) = (-R))(+R)OPTODISC = Optodisc (Taiwan) = (+R)(+RW)LONGTEN = Jilin Qingda ???

Or get Alcohol 120% but you'll have to find a pirated copy yourself.3.Now go to Mode and click on write.Now click on the little folder thing next to the "Please select a file" line.Choose the ISO or other file you want. If your media is rated 8x, it's best to never burn under 4x. If your media is 16x, it's best to never burn under 8x.4. Congratulations you're done and now enjoy your game! (Hopefully)

Generally they're ISOs. If you're talking about .rar or .zip then you just extract them and it usually gives you an ISO.If it isn't than ImgBurn is still able to burn some of the other file extensions like .mds .If ImgBurn doesn't support it, go find a pirated copy of Alcohol 120% and that should do the trick.

Well DVD decrypter is discontinued but the creator of that made ImgBurn which is exactly the same thing.It's not too hard to use imgburn, just browse for your file and set the speed to whatever you want and burn after that it should work.The quality of the DVD is necessary! Not only do the chance of burning a coaster is almost non-existent but the high quality DVDs won't screw up your PS2's laser. The laser is important.In .iso form, all you have to do is load up the file, set it at a speed of whatever you want but keep in mind what I posted above, burn it and pop it in your PS2.

You can use any software you want, I'm just giving you an extra program to use.ImgBurn supports most forms and is generally easier to use.You can use Nero if you want.Robo warned for being offtopic.

They both have their greats and bads. Just get both so you won't ever need to complain .Well you don't really need Daemon tools, but you can get it if you wish.Alcohol 120% is gotten by pirating via BitTorrent.Download this and install it:

http://download.bittornado.com/download/BitTornado-0.3.15-w32install.exe

Then download this:

Now double click it. There should be a pop-up browsing window so select a place to save your file.

I've never had any .mdl or .mdf files so I don't know.But if ImgBurn can support those files then the game should work properly I think.Get daemon tools in case.

I mainly use torrent spy for my downloads, when I can't find anything I use mininova.
