Most likely the reason no one has answered your question is because you are not supposed to advertise on the forums. I'll PM you the place where I got mine. I'm not sure if it was the cheapest, but they shipped it right out to me and it works great.

Okay, now, I am well aware the most common method of backing up PS2 games is via swap discs or a mod chip. Mod chips in PS2s are very hard to put in and you need a steady hand, however, I was thinking and I realized that the discs that are used for console games such as XboX and PS2 are in fact DVDs, however the book type is DVD-ROM. Now is it possible to not have a modification chip present in a console for example the PS2, and burn a DVD+R at a certain speed and booktype of DVD-Rom, and would work without a mod chip. I would greatly appreciate a response from anyone who knows, thanks.

hey guys,

I've been keeping up on this thread, trying to help whenever i can, but now i have a question.

I went out and bought a Gameshark thinking it was the lates (v1.4)
but it turns out to be a v1.1 ah!!!!

question is how can you tell from the package what version it is, because when i look on the packaging, it never says, or maybe im dumb and not looking in the right place.

however, im not that lazy and i looked for photos on google, and i couldn't find anything PLEASE HELP

i know AR works too, so maybe you could tell me about those too...

Thanks again guys

Tyler

yes, my kids have been bothering me forever why I cant make backups of our games like I do with my movies, I always told them I think doing backups for ps2's is not like doing a movie, told them I heard that first you need a software that does games, like clone2 does movies, and that our game console like our ps2 and xbox needs something called a modchip, nobody in my circle even knew what I was talking about, finally i meet a friend of a friend that builds computers and said he knows what a mod chip is and said he never installed one but knows about the process, so I guess I need to know what program can copy our store bought games for a backup and can't think of anything special like you mentioned, just want to make a regular backup and need to know about the do's and dont's about setting all this up, and also hoping that the guy that said he can probably figure it out will know what he's doing of course.
