Newbie question :) - Backing up PS2 games

Is it possible to backup PS2 games with a CDRW? Also, is it possible to play them in a PS2 without a chip??
Thanks

Yes, PS2 CD you can do 1:1 copies, PS2 DVD you could rip game down to smaller size. Ripping can be fairly involved, and obviously "rips" out part of the content on the disc ie part of the game.

www.psxcopyworld.co.uk for tutorials on backup. Search for ripping - you could try www.ps2ownz.com

Yes it is possible but I would advise you against even trying it. Picture your front door to your house. You can physically make the door open without a key, but look at what you have done to the door afterwards. Doing it too many times will eventually knacker the door and leave it useless.

Now have another look at your PS2 - do you really want to do that to it? Mods dont cost that much and are more than worth the small investment.

If you still want to look into this option try searching this forum/internet for KNIFE TRICK or COG TRICK or have a look here

PsxPaul has given you some good information....

He did forget to mention one thing though.

If you attempt to play backups "WITHOUT A MOD CHIP",
Make sure you have another PS2, so you will still have one when you SCREW the first one up...

BUY A MOD CHIP!!

Only thing I could say is R.I.P to the PS2 once the machine is played without the Modchip.
