ok lets get the ball rolling

[Jinxmenow]

ok , im new to the program. started off wanting to back up my PS2 games and wasent aware that there is a whole world out here and jargon that im not familiar with. the questions I have seem to not find possibly because the answers are so simple. PLEASE HELP and it will get the ball rolling. Ok is the mod chip the best way to go for backing up games? why the hell should i be concerned about import back ups if im in the usa, is there something im missing with imports that i dont know about? OH is the quality of the back up the same as the origonal? And last but not least can i back up a dvdrom on my cdrwriter ? Hey i appreciate the guidance in advanced, it will take awhile to become a knowledged about as yourselfs

Mod chip is the best way to boot PS2 games.
Go for a Messiah/Clone if you can get one, as this will save you a lot of hassle.
All you need to boot games with this chip is to put it in and play.
Info on different chips can be found all other the net.
Try www.modchips.com
other info can be found on www.ps2ownz.com

To boot and copy the games (with a different mod chip)
Goto www.psxcopyworld.co.uk
This has burning guides for Nero Burning Rom CDRwin and Clonecd.
And also has boot guides.

To copy a DVD-ROM game using your CDRW you need a DVD Rip guide. This basically cuts bits out of the game to make it small enough to fit on a CD.

In my experience a copied game is not as good as original, my backups sometimes have problems on movies or sound.
This could have something to do with my laser in my ps2 or the quality of my blank media.
