Alcohol to burn the ISO onto a DVD.
You can select the option to ‘Burn Image to Disc’.

Note: If you want to use combination of patches like Fernando’s
PPF Translation, first apply the PPF patch, and then patch with DKZ.
Method 2:
DKZ Paching
This is slightly complicated, but once you get used to it, its really simple.
1. Open the ISO you have extracted with Isobuster,
and extract all the files to a folder of your choice.
2. Open DKZ Studio, go to File-->Open File,
and open the DKZ patch you want to install. For eg; KM Mix patch.
(Always extract the patch from the .rar file)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What all do I need to run DVD-R/DVD+R in my PS2?
You need to have either a Mod Chip (www.modchipstore.com/) or
Swap Magic (http://www.swapmagic3.com/) to load your game.
Alternatively, if you have a Hard Drive (http://www.ps2nfo.com/hddfaq.html) on your PS2,
you can transfer your patched ISO to your Hard Drive,
using Winhiip (http://winhiip.ps2hd.com/)
2. Why is my ISO size about 1.6 GB, when it was initially 4 GB?
Konami padded the game with dummy files, so that data was moved
to the outside of the disc, which helps loading times. However, when
you rebuild, the dummy files are removed.
3. How do I insert new files in the game?
If you want to insert new files for eg. Higgs Emblems, you need to extract
the files with ISO Buster, open your o_text with Game Graphic Studio,
and insert the files with the corresponding files. Then, rebuild as given above.
4. Why do most patch makers use DKZ patches instead of PPF?
The reason behind this is that DKZ patches are smaller in size
and PPF patches cannot use sound files as they are too big.
