it has what is very similar to a pal ot ntsc code on it this cant be copied only printed on in the factory (thats why u buy chips). but this disk (just like action replay and swap magic) has a code that is not pal or ntsc lets just call it code x this cant be copied so u would have to buy a chip to add the codex to the disk that lets you play back-ups which just isn't right
hope that help
