Im new to backing up PS2 games, so please dont think im stupid or anything for asking this if there is an obvious answer. But do you need a mod chip to play backed up PS2 games? Are there programs that will format the disk so you dont need a mod chip?

Penguins will one day rule...

Yes there is a way, its called swap magic. you will need to buy the discs you cant burn them.

you could also try the memory card exploit (depending on your PS2 version), but a modchip is the best way to go

do a search for DVD Decrypter in google - it is out there, just have to search for it

Get a USB DVD burner, the easiest way to do it.

To play backups here are you options:
1) modchip
2) swap magic

You need either of these, can't do without it

Also, it doesnt matter that your on a laptop as long as its a dvd burner. if you burn from the original disc, you will be making an image file so you will be able to put a blank in, and take the original out.

Here are all the programmes you will ever need including DVDDecrypter http://ps2burns.host.sk/tools.html You can use a laptop with a single DVD read/write drive if you must.

again have a search - if you are finding that too challenging, maybe doing the job yourself isn't a good idea... getting a professional to do it means you won't risk killing your PS2
