Copying action replay disc

[dezzzza9995]

Now it is possible to make a 1:1 copy of a disk so it is an exact duplicate, meaning it will play on its own (referring to PC games). i believe this is possible by using copiers that don not repair the subchannel data. Now is this not the same case with the PS2, referring to the Action Replay/Gameshark disk as it is possible to use them without the dongle.
