PS2 Backup

[R3V]

Hi, I'm new in this forum, My kid drop the PS2 twice , the first time it happened, the disk drive did not open (got stuck), so I opened the PS2 and fix it. Then the second time, it damaged the PS2 Game

I'm tried to copy the game to a dvd+r but was not able to (read Disc Error)

I'm planning to get a mod and backup all the games so that that kids will just use the backup instead of the Original (which we will store for safe keeping, away from kids )

Just wondering if anybody have used the chipmod from www.modchip.ca? acc. to the website. it's compatible with all the PS2 Version. I think we have Version 4. What's the most recommended modchip?

It looks like a Apple 3 clone or something. You can get cheaper at www.gocybershop.ca.

The guys here will probably burn me on this but personally I think you’d be fine with a cheap Magic 3.1 or 4.1 clone. Under $30 Canadian, that’s all I’d bother spending on a V4 machine anyway.

Thanks.. visited the website, they are a little bit cheaper compared to www.modchip.ca.

Whats the difference between the magic 3.1 or 4.1 clone to the Apple3?
How do u know if it's a clone or not? this is getting a little bit confusing LOL
Thanks in advance

if u want a mod strickly for backups then get a duo/duo2.. they are steller chips but with no extra features like dms3 and matrix...Cheap also!

There’s basically no difference for your V4, get the cheapest one you can find. Clones are when someone steals the code off of the MOD Chip and uses it to program and manufacture their own knockoffs. They may or may not modify the code, they may or may not use same quality parts and etching, they might use the same name or create their own name. For the most part, they work just as good as far as the Magic 3 / Apple style goes. With Magic 5’s I might worry about a clone because they are so damn sensitive. I think I asked before where to find cheap Duo’s and nobody ever answered.

You can get a Duo chip clone at http://www.divineo.com for $9.99.
