Hi

Welcome Arclite Im really new my self..
Anyway to your question, Yes I can make 1:1 backups for PS2, but there isnt a way you can avoid modifying your PS2...

It Must Be Modified.. SORRY.

I thought that when we say 1:1 ,we mean a full copy of the original with all the mistakes (which are used for the authentication) that the original has.Anyway...thanks for the quick reply mojo8850.

Great page Nighthunter.It has many methods on making a ps2 backup and not only that, but I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the console still needs to be modified in order to play these backups (mostly the dvd based).Is there a method to avoid modifying my ps2 ?

Thanks for the kind comments

There is a way to boot your backups without modifying your PS2 console, know as the "knife trick". A search on google or something similar will return these methods. I would personally never advise anybody to use this method, as you are basically forcing the PS2's tray mechanism to open/close. This will see the speedy ruin of the tray meshanism and ultimately a useless non-working PS2.

Modchips are relatively cheap thesedays - a lot cheaper than a replacement PS2 !

I hope that this helps

I have also moved this thread to the Console Gaming section

yes depending on your version modchips do come cheap, it's just the installation charges that drive people crazy. You can check which version your ps2 by clicking this link below. If you have any questions then post it in that forum.

Here's the way I see it. If you've had your ps2 for more than 3 months then the warranty is useless so a modchip is helpful. The best chips probably would be the DMS, messiah, DUO, and Blue chip. They are good, out of those two I'd probably narrow it down to DMS and the Messiah 2 Pro.

you could always get a flip top for ur ps2, u can easily install that....it beats the knife trick and the slide card.

Getting an actual modchip would be a wiser and safe decision as opposed to the method mentioned above.
