Simple questions please answer

Can someone answer these simple questions for me please.
I have a V4 with a messiah modchip.
To copy a PS2 game (DVD) can you just burn off a straight copy with a DVD writer or do you have to put a patch in first as you would with a PC game?
Can you copy a PS2 (CD) game with a CDRW straight off or do you have to put a patch in first as with a PC game?
Thank-you, I'm sure one of you fine people out there can answer these simple questions no problem.
Is there a really simple step by step guide to doing it somewhere for all games in general as opposed to individual games as I've noticed in the ripping section.
Thanx for all your help in advance.
yours
Jimmy

Look through some of the earlier threads..
For DVD format games use DVD-R, For CD format use CD-R and generally only about PS1 games are need of patching and if you're converting NTSC to PAL then it requires and Vice versa..
