A bit more advice to add.
1/
A modchip allows you to play imports (as backups). Thus if you take a Jap original game (NTSC) and copy it with CLONECD, and if you have a PAL TV, chances are that the game will play in black and white or roll. In such cases an NTSC to PAL convertor is required OR you will have to use CDR-WIN (instead of CLONECD) to copy the game to hard disk; then you patch it for PAL with a patch identified at megagames.com; then you write it back to a CD-R.

2/
Please note that DVD games don't copy as for CDs. The software isn't available yet. Search the forum on DVD RIP for advice on what to do if you must copy DVD games.

Good luck.
