Yes, a modchip or something like SwapMagic.

btw, why download a game as backup? Wouldnt it be easier to just copy the original disc, which you say u have?

Well i tried to copy the game with toast titanium but it said it was copy protected or something and just download it. And also is SwapMagic just a disk that you insert to boot it up?

In the future u can try DVD Decrypter - I've seen guides here somewhere.

Yes, SwapMagic is a boot-disc. You boot up and then have to open the tray and swap it with the backup disc. It's easy to install compared to a mod chip, but if you have the money I'd suggest a mod chip.

Use WinRAR to extract the iso from those compressed archives.
