From what i've read on this forum backing up the ps2 GS v1.9 disk is useless unless you have a direct boot mod, My problem is I want to CREATE a BOOTABLE cd, I have the data backed up onto cd-r, I want to make it bootable by "building" the iso from scratch. There was a link on ps2ownz site about a year ago, but that is long gone, if ANYONE knows how I can create one a post would be very appreciated! I know this seems outrageous but I KNOW that it can be done, just takes a little work to put the necessary files into place..also to build this CD you,ll need the data that makes the ps2 think that the created CD is an offical GS 2 CD.
