A legend?
 

Hello.
I saw once that you can play ps2 backups without a modchip as long as you have an AR2/GS2 and a bootdisk of some description
Is there any truth in this please.
I need to know before my son and his friend go out and buy one each as this is the reason they are going to buy one.
Pleeeeze help I can't find anything about it anymore.

yes its possible but it means stuffing a knife in ps2 tray to open it everytime u want to boot a game
very very risky so many ps2 r broken this way
the safest way is to buy a chip
depending were u from pal ntsc what chip is best for u
pal best option is messiah rough price guide with fitting is somewere in region of £100
sounds expensive but not really
no ar2 needed saves u £30
all games boot np just pop in let it work
:)
