if you machine is already chipped all you need is a dvd burner & some software to back up the game....

i have a pioneer 105 & i use nero (came with the writer) i have backed up over 30 games with out a problem (well untill my back up gets damaged by the kids)

Well, here's the deal.

1. You can just copy the game. Put in a disc, hit "copy", and wait. There is no "protection" per se.

2. You can play online, except for newer games. The latest online games check for the original and detect mod chips.

Hope this helps.

You could search the forum first....its covered almost daily.

Use -r disks

Use any dvd writer.

Can't suggest one has I have no idea what computer/OS you have.

Use -r disks

Why do we have to use "-r" disks? Is there a technical reason that +r disks can't be used?

Ok Speaking from my experience only, I have NOT been able to play any PS2 backup copies with anything BUT -r format. DVD movies WILL play on my PS2 with any of the formats +-r/+-RW.

Next, I have not been able to play any of the new EA sports or Midway games Online with a back up. I have a mod chip and I can defeat it. I have a flip top cover as well, have disabled my chip, run the flip top software, inserted a backup and still NO DICE playing Online.
I believe the powers at be are currently working on a fix for this but until..........


ANyone have any luck with Online backups of the newer games????
