First, you need a mod-chip, Second you need a gameshark2 to boot the PS2 backups, PS2 originals PSX originals and PSX backups will boot up normally.[without gameshark].As far as cdr's i use verbatim's,sony's or TDK's. the darker the bottom of the cdr is [it should be blue] the better. black cdr's are mostly crap.
