PS2 Boot-CD works???

Hi,

I was surfing on the net and a few times found files that were meaned to be working PS2-boot discs for backups- and import- games. Some of them were about 50MB others about 2-3MB. They were even meaned to be work whithout a Mod-chip. First of all I want to know if it's possible without a mod-chip and if I need a Action-Replay instead or if I only need this cd? And if it's working why my Pal PS2 can't read any of them(I found about 5 driffrent)? Perhaps I used the wrong options in CDRwin. And if it's not working can anyone tell me a method to play backups whithout a mod-chip that works? Cause my PS2 is nearly new and I don't want it to be opened. Hope anyone can answer some of my questions and sorry if my English sounds a little strange because I'm from Germany.

The good thing to come out of it is that you have 5 new shiny coasters that you can use around your house.

There is no PS2 boot CD, full stop. The ones on kazza etc are fakes.

The only method to play backups without a mod is to jam a knife in the tray area, also known as the knife trick. You will do more damage by doing this than installing a mod chip. Its not going to stop working just because it has been opened, it's more likely to stop working by using the knife trick.

As psx_paul say knife trick is the only option without mod chip..
But let me tell u a story:
A week ago my friend get a ps2 v5 board and decided to use knife trick with AR2 (which cost him £30.00)and boot the back up game without mod chip so he can save couple of £££££.Couple of days later he sold his ps2 for £50.00 because he damage the try..

So ask yourself its worth it!!!
GET A MOD CHIP Its worth very penny...
