Software to Backup PS2 Games

[SkizZoid]

 
Hi,

I am looking to backup some of my PS2 games and was wondering the following.

1: What software do I need to perform the backup.

2: Do all games backup up even if they are protected.

3: Whats the best MOD chip to use.

4: Are PS2 original disks 4.7 gig or 9 Gig in size

If anyone knows of any tutorials I would be appreciated.

Thanks very much

1 if you want swap magic software you will need to use a no-solder mod with it or use the knife trick.

2 doesent boot dvd-9 and doesent boot splinter cell.(very few game don't play.

3.with swap magic it is the no solder mod but the non swap modchip i would say the messiah 2 clone (£20).


4. most are 4.7gb(dvd-5) but only a few are 9gb(dvd-9 e.g mgs2:substance).

For software pretty much any burning program will work (unless it is for DVD movies only like DVD X COPY). Recordnow Max, Nero and Alcohol 120% seem to be the current favorites (yes in that order). There are some PS2 games that require downloadable patches but other than that about 99.9% of all PS2 games can be backed up (provided you have a DVD burner).

The best modchip is the Messiah2, most PS2 games are DVD5, few like MGS2Sub, Xenosaga, are DVD9

Clone cd and Cdrwin are also good programs
