The other only way you can do it is by using swap magic.Do a google search and you will see how it works and where to buy it from.What it does is it boots the game for you because without a modchip the ps2 doesnt recognise the game as being a ps2 game.

So there is absolutely no way to play a burnt Ps2 game w/o a mod chip or Swap Magic?

Then can you tell me where to get cheap hdd's or swap magic cos mod chips just screw up the playstation. I think your crazy if you use a mod chip.

do ya rekon you could use an original game as boot disk and then swap it once it loads??

Well there's nothing crazy if you have a qualified professional install a quality chip like the DMS 4 Pro SE, Matrix Infinity, or Crystal Chip. Newer chips are so well designed that there's no real danger of frying your laser or mobo. They automatically shut down if there's any danger of overheating. I play my PS2 5 hours a day or so, and the chip hasn't shut down once due to overheating. Now an exception to this would be if you have a v.12 PS2 or later. The slims require a laser fix. Even an unmodded Slimline PS2 can burn out in a couple hours. You have to get a laser fix if you chip a slim PS2. I don't mean to ramble, just giving you a head's up. Swap Magic is a good product, you can order it off http://www.gocybershop.ca or several other sites at a reasonable price. It usually runs $20-$30.

7. Q. What do I need to use Swap Magic?
A. With fat PS2 v.1-11: Flip top: http://www.chipzone.com/installation/playstation2/fliptop/page1.cfm
Slide Card: http://www.saveware.com/SlideCardUsageAndInstall.htm
With Slim PS2 v.12-14
Flip top: http://www.chipzone.com/installation/playstation2/fliptop-v12/pag...
Magickeys (also referred to as slide tool, slim tool or, magic switch): http://magickeys.net/
or tape and tissue mod: From Pretense: If the fliptop doesn't work, just give up on it and do a tape and tissue mod. Open up your case again and tape the back sensor (toward the upper left and beneath the hinge part of the lid) with duct tape or even regular Scotch tape (I use several layers to be on the safe side), put the case back together, and stuff a small ball of tissue into the hole for the front sensor (lower right just above the power button).

my tape and more tape

Just about the same, just a change on Censor 'A' and Censor 'B'

Censor B - http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/572/dsc010703xc.jpg
keep the top closed, while you tape down the disk stopper, using a few layers of duct tape

Censor A - http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/4342/dsc010698we.jpg
use tiny strips of duct tape to patch over the tiny censor. I used a screwdriver to help put on the tape.

dude get a Hard drive and hd advanced cd of the net thats it---

will save you so much money in the long run

hd are cheap at frys or ebay and hd advance is like 20 bucks---
but to make the hard drive work you need a network adapter aswell which is like 25 bucks---

so in total like 150 bucks----but after that any game you get you can put on the hard drive for quicker loading and saves etc..

plus some people back up there games there------or if you owned the original(keep reciept) and somehow lost it b4 putting it on the hard drive ----you can rent it again and put it on the hard drive with the hd advance disk--and now you have the game on the hard drive
