Playing PS2 game

[dave2000]

It might sounds stupid, but is it really necessary to chip PS2 to play copied PS2 games?

all you need is a gameshark for the u.s. version ps2. and just do the swap. no chip required

thank you maddgirl

If you are comfortable with taking apart your PS2 and leaving it apart to play the backups then you dont need a mod-chip but before i would do this and run the risk of something getting damaged from it being left open i would install a chip or buy a neo-key....Good luck!!
