I just ordered a silver PS2 slim off eBay for $80. Before that, I ordered FF VII - IX for $80 for all of em. I want to play these games, but I also do not want to damage the discs. So then I heard about running copied versions on the PS2.
Is there a way to do this w/o modifying the PS2 directly? I'd like to keep all these items in Mint condition.
Oh wow. All those acronyms confused me. And that link is also confusing. Sorry, I'm a total noob at this! I dunno what I need at all... Sorry for being an idiot. >.<
Free McBoot is a method of running homebrew applications directly off a Memory Card as a stand alone loader.
No boot discs or modchips are required once installed. You will however need to have a method to install FMCB to the MC
Hence that is why I linked to the guides, and to the INSTALL SERVICES.
Basically it is a program installed to the Memory card that allows you to backup your PS2 game using a program called "imgburn" to an ISO file, then patch the ISO with esr disc patcher v0.24
Then burn it again using "imgburn" and play it on the PS2 using ESR "dvd direct" version
