Virgin seeks helping hand.

[Dogbolter]

My apologies for being dim, but I've searched the site, and haven't been able to find some very basic answers.

I have a CD burner on my PC, and a PS. I want to make back ups of my games.

Can I just copy them as I would, say, a music CD? I understand patches are needed for some games, and I understand how to get and use them, but do they all have patches?

Also, does the PS need to be chipped? What does this achieve?

Many thanks.
