Newbie PS2 Question

Hi all,
I have just bought myself a PS2 and want to learn how to backup PS2 games, obviously I need a modchip, what is a good one to go for? Do I need any special software to backup games?

Any links would also be very appreciative.

How do I backup GTA3?

Cheers
Darren

Please search the Forum under "Newbie" and read my get you going post. Many of the links have disappeared in the last week and ####://www.psxcopyworld.co.uk amd ####://www.megagames.com are the two remaining mainstream links.

So start with my get you going post, use the above links, work diligently and leave your GTA3 project to the very last.
