backup ps2 to cd-r
 

anyone know if i could backup a ps2 game to a cd-r and i was also wondering what i could do to get my psx backup to work on my ps2 i applied patch to the game and it says disc unreadable or something like that

i assume you have a modchip in your ps2. Which one? It is possible to backup ps2 games on a cd but you need to do a lot of things. You have to render the movies etc. Very hard to do and it will cost ya a lot of blanc cd`s

so your saying i need a mod chip to play psx games that are patched on my ps2?

where can i get a mod chip and how do i install it?

What version ps2 do you have? Where do you come from (UK/US etc.)

Somebody posted this link a couple of days ago that should help you find out your version.

By the sounds of it you dont have a mod in your ps2 at present. There are several different types of mod chip available at the moment like the Neo 2.5, Neo 4 (worst of the lot), Origa, and of course the daddy of them all the Messiah.

These chips vary in there functionality, some require you to perform a swap trick for CD-Rs & DVD-Rs, whereas the Messiah allows you insert the disc and play away.

The Messiah costs a bit more than the others, but it is well worth it in the long run.

Find out what version PS2 you have, and if you want a Messiah then send a message to one of the chaps on this forum - Charlie_ps2 & dust2dust or psxmodsuk - they should be able to sort you out, they can also perform the install which is very tricky.

Hope that this helps.
