    I tried that too and it didn't work. You could try burning a CD in DVD format, but I think that the PS2 will only read DVDs anyway (so you can't copy games I guess, or makes it harder to at least) - unless you have it modified could be wrong about this though.

    ya a friend had his ps2 chipped and it can play v-cd's he said to me that i couldn't play them on mine (which is not chipped) so i was stuck watchin them on the pc, tis okay cos got a big monitor. But yup i say ya need your ps2 to be chipped, and it probally cheaper to buy a dvd player that would play them, unless ya wanted to chip it urself. Not meant to be too hard to do but still.

    Alo.

    Its fairly easy to do on a Dreamcast, and there is a way of doing it on a PS2 without chipping it, but it doesn't work well I heard.
