This is long and involved, and involves odd questions from someone whom is mere millimeters above totally technically retarded.
I am one of those people whom, because I know a very little about e-tech and computers; people are always asking!
"Hey, if I buy the disks can you copy me some games for my PS2!?"
and being very unintelligent I reply (and forgive me if I am miss-informed)
that I CAN make copies of the disks, but unfortunately
in order for them to work on their PS2's they need to purchase and have installed a modification to their machines (mod-chip?)
to which they usually reply something on the order of
Oh! so you don't know how to do it?
now I have read some of the beginners primers on coping these disks.
and from what I can comprehend, the reason the copies do not Play
is because the originals have a special physical deformity built into the start of the track that if the PS2 doesn't find it upon insertion, it will not play?
Thus-lee the need for a MOD-CHIP to fool the PS2 into thinking it has seen
the /wobble/
so my question is this ( and again forgive me if this is naive ) does anyone
market blank media with this defect built in ( and possibly ) software that burns an image past the wobbly part?
so as to avoid having to install a mod-chip?
and just as a Idea tossed into the either hoping someone will use it
seeing as how the PS2 (at least the ones my friends have ) have built in
network adaptors and usb connectors, is there someway to make the PS2 read file info off a CD-DVD reader attached to either the network adaptor
or via network from another computer
or one of those usb connected DVD drives?
Like maybe a hacked memory card that when initiated by a legitimate PS2 game disk, tells the cpu instead to look at the other location for game data to load?
Or one that acts in the same fashion as a internal mod-chip?
Thanks if you've managed to stay with me this far without blowing a brain cell
