Question about backing up onto HD

I've checked out some stuff but I still have a few questions, and hopefully I can get some answers here.

First of all, is it possible to use an internal HD to back up games? Like by using the USB port or some such.

I have a slim version of the ps2, so if I cant use an internal, I suppose I would have to use an external HD? (i saw a program for that)


Basically im trying to figure out the cheapest way to back-up my ps2 games. I have a bad habit of leaving them sit out and getting scratched and such..

Little other info. I do have a DVD rom and a DVD burner, dual layer actually. So I dont know if just using CDs to back up would be easier.

You can back them up using almost any HD and most writer programs.
To play them you have quite a few options.

Can't resists - the cheapest way for you to protect them is to put them back in their cases

What I would like to find is a program or some such that would let me backup games onto the PC and play off the PC. Would make booting and such faster (or so ive heard) and make it a little easier when changing games. And of course when not handling the disks, there is less wear and tear.

There is currently no "good" solution for doing that, and really why would you want to when playing PS2 games is on the console it was designed for would be better.

When I say play off the PC, I mean like how you would use the PS2 HDD.

Basically what im seeing is that I would need an external HD to backup my games, since i have a slim PS2. Which of course I dont have the money for..

Im trying to find alternatives.

IF you have a V14 slim your out of luck, but if you have a V12 or V13 have a look at this.
