Nice to meet all of you...Im Starting with a quicky question :)

Hey guys, hows it going?
Well, im entering the world of being actually able to backup my PS2 games, and I've read alot of posts regarding it, havent done it yet, but have a couple of questions.

Ok Heres and example:

I am currently running nero 6. Have an LG 4040B, and a launch PS2.


FOr testing purposes, I just put WWE Smackdown: HCTP in my LG DVD ROM. I opened up nero and did a DVD copy. This now created an image file on my HDD.

As I said, I dont even have my mod yet I was just testing and trying to get info, before I actually waste money and burn 10000 coasters.

1) Which MOD is best, I did read about a few, but I want to continue playing online with my original games with no headaches and hopefully a mod that will be compatible with the HDD when it arrives. So one that I can turn on and off would be best.

(back to the actual game)
2) Now that I have an image file made from nero of my Smackdown, is that it? Do I just use nero again, and burn image file to a DVD-R?

OR

Is patching required? Do I have to do anything to thta image file, before burning? If so, is there a site that has these patches for PS2 games?

Thank you in advnaced for helping me out, I appriciate it.
