The answer is simple...NO.

You need a modchip...get one it's totally worth it!
If you scrap 2 games, it'll pay for itself.

helllllllllp please my son is killing all my games .

I totally understand...that's why you should get a modchip.

Regards,

moved to the "Console Gaming > Backup" area

Welcome to the forum

RecordNow DX - is that pants = good or pants = bad ?
I always use RecordNow Max for my PS2 DVD backupa and have never had any problems. Have you tried following the backup tutorials in the "Console Gaming > Tutorials" section ?

Regarding the modchip - where abouts are you located in the world ? I might be able to point you in the right direction

ps2 game backup

thanks psxpaul .
i live in dartford in kent .
tell u what the problem is with record now.
ive had this gigabyte dvd burner/player for about two weeks now.
before i installed it i set a restore point.as always.
after about the first week i opened up the record dx to do a burn.
and it would not open on my desktop,just the taskbar.
so i tried to use sys restore,and guess what every restore point was knackered.
so last weekend i had the joy of reinstalling xp.
burner will only sometimes "backup" dvd with dvd decryptor.
this machine is a labour of love,completly built by myself.
1.8 athlon xp,512 ddr.30,20,10gb hdd,clear case + much more.


thanks 4 any help provided.

bytes,

You really shouldn't have any problems backing up a PS2 game with DVDDecrypter. That's what I use and never had a problem.
Make an image then burn the image...that's it!

BTW, I hope you're using good media...it makes a big difference!
Most people here will recommend Ritek media. That's what i use and burn all my games @ 4X without any problems.

I can't comment on RecordnowMax. I don't use it, but if psx_paul says it's good, then trust me....he knows what he's talking about!

Sorry I can't help you with where to get a modchip installed in you're area! I live in Canada! I bought my PS2 (in the US) prechiped for $289US and have had no problems at all. Good luck

Regards,

sorry for the delay in replying

you can either
a) purchase a mod (something like Messiah2 or DMS3) on its own and install/solder yourself
or
b) courier your PS2 to a reliable company, who will supply/install the mod and courier the PS2 back to you (quick turnaround)

I would recommend www.playstationservices.co.uk - very reliable and excellent installers
