Backing up Playstation 2 DVD based games

[juanchankein]

does anyone know how to make a working backup of a playstation 2 game?
i tried using the dvd copy feature in nero 5.5.10.0. and when it finalized burning, i tried it on my ps2 and got an "please insert a playstation or playstation 2 format disc" message (red screen)
can anyone help me?
thanks

got to ask but you have a chip fitted?

if its a ea games disc then you need to patch it!
i backed up gta3 and vice city by doing disc copy with nero

Um this kind of thing is illeagal if you got the game from a friend and backed it up or something like that. You might not want to post such things as this... People might get the wrong impression

Backing-up ps2 discs that are yours are not a felony - as long as you own them. But even if their not yours, all you need is to have a mod-chip installed in your ps2 and it will play any copied game.

i have a modchip installed, it plays backups of ps 1 games, but when i tried to back up my playstation 2 games it flashed the red screen, my question is, is there any special way i have to back up these games? or do i just use the "copy dvd" feature in nero?

Well I wasn't accusing him of doing any "illeagal" act I was just saying that if it wasn't his he doesn't need to post about it. Yeah I copy my own DVD's and DVD platform PS2 games too..

the back ups are for when i put my ps2 in the car so i dont damage the originals, same with dvd's!

Well then the backed-up ps2 games should work also... Are you using a brand of cd-r media that you've never used before for your ps2? And don't use cd-rw for the ps or ps2, it almost never reads the disc.

Well sometimes PS1 modchips aren't compatable. Yes they are out there for both but some don't read both PSX and PS2

im using a neo 2.2 modhip, and dvd-r madia, not cd-r media,
is there any special way to back up the games? or do i just use the "copy dvd" feature innero 5.5.10.0?

Use Clone-CD for perfect copies of games onto a single disc.

i downloaded Clone-Cd, but this program copies DVDs into CD-Rs
i need to know how to back up a playstation 2 game onto a DVD-R

hi
i never had problems backing up ps2 games.
just copy them with nero dvd- copy option since they have no copy protection so far.

important is that u know how to boot with your mod chip.
i suggest u read the boot faq for the neo chip.
can be found on almost every ps2 site in the net.
if your neo chip does not support the EA-trick u have to patch your DVDs additionally to make them work, but read a faQ on your chip to make sure how your PS2 works with your chip.

hope it helps

PS: if your chip does not support DVDs boot there r patches which downsize dvd games to fit them on 1 or 2 cd-r´s .
can also be found on various sites, called rip-patches.

I have also heard about a program called PS2 Patcher that does that same thing
