ps2 backups
 

Ive been reading an reading...ok now if your cd reader doesn't support raw doa then your basically screwed making direct backups is this accurate? clone cd doesn't work right I get aspi errors for openers...now I can use practiclly any other prog without any probs. primodvd. nero 5, cdrwin5.....is there any other way thats somewhat basic that i could tackle this.without the patch thing & my first born & what ever else...man the xbox is real simple - DL rars extract to one iso and burn - DONE...I'm using a pioneer dvd104 as my burner...would someone mind giving me a step by step...thx guys
P.S> let me specify I'm refering to cdr & cdrw backups not the dvd-r, those are easy 1:1 copy...

The easiest way would be to invest in a 100% Clone CD compatible CD burner... The prices have come WAY down and are well worth it... Most of the main people on the forum use a seperate burner for cd's & DVD's... Then you could make a 1:1 copy of your cd games like you do now for your DVD games.....
I only paid $75.00 (US) for mine...(brand new, sealed in retail box). See signature..... Hope this helps...:cool:

does using raw doa copy make your cd's bootable without having to do a swap

The swap part depends entirely on your mod chip... What type of mod chip do you have?:cool:

Re: ps2 backups
 

NO u still need the boot disk to load ur game and I guess u got the neo 2.2 chip install.

Re: ps2 backups
 

As I said in the previous post.... If YOUR mod chip requires you to swap to play backups, then NO MATTER how you copy your games you will still have to SWAP.....

If you are tired of swapping, get the Messiah or Magic 2.....

If you can...... tell us EXACTLY waht mod chip you have.....:cool:
