Welcome to the forum mate
Have you read our PSX Forum Rules (http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40390) :)


1. What is needed to backup PS2 games?
The following sites have lots of info that you are after:
PSXPAUL.CJB.NET (http://www.psx-paul.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/)
PS2 PLACE (Home of the PS2 newbie bible) (http://www.mjpaul.freeserve.co.uk/)
PSXCOPYWORLD (original and IMO still the best :)) (http://www.psxcopyworld.co.uk)

2. mod chip
Technically you can boot up a backed up PS2 game on your PS2 console without a modchip, but beware doing this will soon knacker your machine and leave you needing to go out and replace it. I would recommend purchasing and installing a Messiah 2 modchip for direct booting of your personal backups.

Hope that this answers your questions :)
