10/13 Here's a stupid question, can I copy playstation2 games using my
DVD writer? DVD+R? -R? booktype?
\_ I know DVD-R works but I think you need to get your PS2 modchipped.
\_ So ps2 will not work with DVD-R or +R unless chipped?
\_ I think there's some boot-disc hack also, but basically: yes.
\_ You want to start at http://lik-sang.com--they at least used to sell
modchips for Xbox/PS2. I think they had some court trouble, but as
another hint, an Italian judge ruled recently that modchipping was
fair use and that Sony/MS could go sod off. For some more chip
info, go to http://www.livejournal.com/community/modchips and if
you have some specific questions, I have a few friends who're
heavily into this stuff who'll probably gladly help out if you
drop me a mail. -John
\_ How would this even work for PS2 discs that exceed 4.3 GiB?
Wow, you used THE STANDARD _/
\_ If you have a way of transferring data to a memory card, there's
a buffer overflow trick that will allow you to boot arbitrary
programs (there's a similar trick for the XBOX), which I've
gotten to run software that will backup PS2 games to a maxtor
hd that hooks into the PS2 network adaptor. There's supposedly
programs that will boot DVD-Rs on the PS2, so if you can load
that program using the boot trick, you won't need to mod.
Please post if you can get this to work. Thanks |
