The other way to play copies on a PS2 is to do the 'SWAP TRICK', which involves leaving your PS2 open all the time, & swapping the disc while it's spinning!!
Sounds a bit dodgy to me & not something I'd like to try!! I'd rather get it chipped!!!
To copy PS2 games, just use CDRWin as far as I know, & apply the patches as you would a PS1 game!

Hope that helps,
