[Jinxmenow]

ok , im new to the program. started off wanting to back up my PS2 games and wasent aware that there is a whole world out here and jargon that im not familiar with. the questions I have seem to not find possibly because the answers are so simple. PLEASE HELP and it will get the ball rolling. Ok is the mod chip the best way to go for backing up games? why the hell should i be concerned about import back ups if im in the usa, is there something im missing with imports that i dont know about? OH is the quality of the back up the same as the origonal? And last but not least can i back up a dvdrom on my cdrwriter ? Hey i appreciate the guidance in advanced, it will take awhile to become a knowledged about as yourselfs
