Burn PS2 CD's-no mod

[futuremls]

yes, I did a search for this, but didnt find exactly what i want (i looked for an hour or so). I have an un-modded V3 PS2 and I use an AR2 to play, so far, just emulators. Is it possible to play backed-up CD-based PS2 games? If so...what are the steps to back it up (this is the part I've had trouble finding)

[bighap]

Yes you can play backups without a mod. Do a search on knife. This method is not recommended though, as it f*cks up your ps2. To backup cd based games look in the backup procedures sticky and check out the CloneCD tutorial.

alright...i cant do the clonecd thing cuz i lent the game to a friend for a while, but b4 i did, i saved it all to my hard drive (just a copy and paste kinda thing) is there a way to still burn it so its playable and since its an EA game, do i need to patch it and how do i if it needs to be

sorry to be blunt, but the easiest sollution is to get a chip...

we can point you in the right direction i'm sure

do it now before you trash your console.

And regardless no, if you just copied the game files to your hard disk you can't burn it back, even with a MOD chip. Sorry, there's more on a PSX/PS2 disc than just the DOS-mode files.
