A different kind of workaround for PS2 70012?

[cykomike]

This is long and involved, and involves odd questions from someone whom is mere millimeters above totally technically retarded.

I am one of those people whom, because I know a very little about e-tech and computers; people are always asking!
"Hey, if I buy the disks can you copy me some games for my PS2!?"

and being very unintelligent I reply (and forgive me if I am miss-informed)
that I CAN make copies of the disks, but unfortunately
in order for them to work on their PS2's they need to purchase and have installed a modification to their machines (mod-chip?)

to which they usually reply something on the order of
Oh! so you don't know how to do it?

now I have read some of the beginners primers on coping these disks.
and from what I can comprehend, the reason the copies do not Play
is because the originals have a special physical deformity built into the start of the track that if the PS2 doesn't find it upon insertion, it will not play?
Thus-lee the need for a MOD-CHIP to fool the PS2 into thinking it has seen
the /wobble/

so my question is this ( and again forgive me if this is naive ) does anyone
market blank media with this defect built in ( and possibly ) software that burns an image past the wobbly part?
so as to avoid having to install a mod-chip?

and just as a Idea tossed into the either hoping someone will use it

seeing as how the PS2 (at least the ones my friends have ) have built in
network adaptors and usb connectors, is there someway to make the PS2 read file info off a CD-DVD reader attached to either the network adaptor
or via network from another computer
or one of those usb connected DVD drives?

Like maybe a hacked memory card that when initiated by a legitimate PS2 game disk, tells the cpu instead to look at the other location for game data to load?
Or one that acts in the same fashion as a internal mod-chip?

Thanks if you've managed to stay with me this far without blowing a brain cell

I’ll just toss a little response in here before this thread gets locked up. This place is really tight about piracy rules. There is a thing called HD loader if you want to install a Hard drive in those network adapters. So you can load it up with the games you buy, ugh hmmm, not the games you rent!

Now, about the USB drive thing, with the new slim stations not having HD bays the only way to go would be USB (they do still have USB ports right?) . So I’m hoping to see more third party apps come out with USB drive support, i.e. USB HDLoader. Does not yet exist but we can dream.

Your only way with a new slimline V12 is a modchip.

To make a long story short. Yes you can easily make backups of your legally owned PS2 original games. You will need some sort of device to play them. The device supplies the ps2 with the necessary info that was not able to be copied from original to backup due to burner limitations.

We cannot help you back up games for other people. Please read our rules.
