I am writing this for the newbie who has no experiene in soldering and does not want to void the warranty, and needs another solution to back up his games. Even though it is probably the worst method of backing up your ps2 games, it is still a very good choice, despite what all these moderators say (THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT). I do not see why it gets so much criticism around here. All the games work fine, it takes only about 30-45 seconds to boot, you do not have to open the case and void the warranty, and you can always undo the modifications that you have made (unlike a solder mod). And does anyone even know someone who has destroyed their ps2 by using the slide card? If you just take care by opening and closing the tray very slowly, then it is no worse than just pushing the eject button.
