PS2 no mod, just patch file?
 

I'm having a problem. I haven't got the money to buy a mod chip, or any software to make burnt PS2 games work. I have the PS2 and a nice computer with plenty of burning programs. Though I realize a PS2 reads the interior ring of a CD/DVD, rather than the actual burnable disk to load, I was hoping possibly someone might have a way to help. Now I downloaded a PPF program because it said on gamecopy world that it was something I could use, but I have no idea HOW, and there aren't any instructions. I have no idea where to turn, I've been looking for programs to work for almost 3 years now, I know I could go buy at least 2 programs out there that would do fine, a friend of mine has them, but as I said, no money. I mean if I could afford to buy those, do you think I'd have a problem affording to buy a couple games? lol. So if you could give me a link to a website with DETAILED instructions on how to use PPF for PS2 games that's written in lamens terms, or if you could give me a link to some software for making the games work, I'd greatly appreciate it. For any of your concious out there that might be affected, if and when I do get enough money, I do just simply buy the games but it would be nice to know what the games were like without spending 7-8$ to rent and just test them, you know? Thanks.

I don't think those patches crack the games as copy protection takes place not only on the CD/DVD but also inside the console itself. As for trying out games before buying them, go to a rental instead of attempting piracy (see the forum rules).

First, There is no "downloadable" boot disc or software that will allow a PS2 or PSX backup to load on a "unmodded" console. My advice, save your money and buy a modchip or a swap magic boot disc. The better of the two being the chip.

Second, We do not support piracy period!! Rent the games as Joe said above or borrow one from a friend to try out. Do not ask for help with downloaded games or any game that you do not own the original.


And BTW, Welcome to FF

The first post in this section in a weeks and its some stupid ass crap like this. Sad, truly sad. :(

Yes it is :(. This forum as well as the other console forums used to thrive with intelligent people/topics just like the PC forum does now. Not sure what happened but for some reason nobody comes here anymore. We have a lot of "guest" that drop in but practically no daily members come here anymore. It is truly sad :(


Anyway good to see your still around Spedmetal, I'll try to catch you on AIM sometime :)

I completely agree :(
