[B]Downloading PS2 Backups 101[/B]

There are many different ways of downloading backups, including FTP*, Newsgroups*, mIRC*, & my personal favorite [URL=********bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/]Bit Torrent.

[B]Bit Torrent[/B] itself is the name of the application used to download backups (or 'images') through the use of Torrent files - & is basically a P2P application (Peer to peer).

Once the Bit Torrent client has been downloaded, all you have to do is locate the Torrent file for your desired game via the Internet, & simply open it.


*= Try doing a search on the forum for the keyword.

[b]Warning:[/b]

[B]Note:[/B]
In order to directly boot a backup of the Gameshark or Action Replay you [B]will need[/B] a direct boot modchip* or other methods*.

This method will work in some cases, but [B]not[/B] all.

Making a backup of the Gameshark/Action Replay is strictly for the purposes of protecting your original & for the use of utilizing quality media (as not all consoles have an easy time at reading the original discs).

[B]Direct boot modchips:[/B]
Do a search;
Keywords: Direct boot, Messiah, DMS3, modchip.

[B]Other methods:[/B]
There are special consoles known as 'Test units' which have the ability to boot backups through the use of a patch applied to the image, rather than a modchip - You'll know if you own one of these consoles as it has the word 'Test' printed on the side of the console.
