Well said indeed. Now you seem to know what you're talking about, so I'll ask a few things again. Is it possible to play a burned DVD with a bookcheck of DVD-ROM without swap discs or the mod chip? If not, I will buy a mod chip, what do you recommend? And how many watt soldering iron do you recommend? And if you could give me a step by step method on how to get to the ps2 mobo that would be great.
Thanks.

Lol dude, I'm 15 as well, you must be a momma's boy. ANyway, the swap disc method is retarded, and makes more sense to get a modchip when it is the same price, therefore, if there are any other people on this forum that are LEET, a detailed instructional tutorial on how to mod a ps2 would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

well man im no ****ing mommys boy. but here is an idea on a chip compard to the swap magic. swap magic means no mods to the PS2 and the chip means something like 27 wires to solder. just that is enough to make people want the swap magic set.

this should help, couldn't get the graphics so, and when you try to download the programs you need, just go to google.com and search for "free download of" and just put the name of the program in there.
Introduction
Want to make backups of your Sony PlayStation 2 Games. No problem! You will learn how to make copies of your personal Sony PlayStation 2 games. (We do not condone making copies of PS2 games you do not own). The question is always asked, "Do I need a ModChip?" Well, yes. ModChips are required if you want to play backups of PlayStation 2 discs that you create. If you do not have a ModChip you can click here to get one at a reasonable cost. They are worth the small investment.
Hardware Requirements
DVD Player
DVD Writer
Blank DVDR Discs
The Original PS2 Game (Not a copy of a copy)
ModChip
Minimum 1.5GB free hard drive space (2GB or more of free hard drive space recommended)
Recommended Pentium4 or AMD Athalon CPU (not required)
Software Requirements - Downloads
DVD Decrypter - Rips the DVD movie, creates an ISO DVD image file and burn that image file back to blank DVD media
PrimoDVD2 - Download and install this program
PPF-O-Matic - Used to apply to apply & create PPF patches to your copied PlayStation 2 Games
Note: Presented here are two methods for making backups of your PS2 Games. The first method is with DVD Decrypter. The second method is with PrimoDVD. Both are presented here so you can decide which is easier for you to use.
What You Should Know About PS2 Games
PS2 games come in two formats: CD-Rom & DVD-Rom.
This poses a minor problem: If your PS2 game is on a CD-ROM, then go HERE
If the PS2 game is on a DVD-ROM, you will need a DVD-ROM Burner and blank DVD-Rs.
This tutorial assumes that the PS2 game is on a DVD-ROM. If your PlayStation Game is on CD-ROM, then go HERE
Identifying a CD-ROM Verses a DVD-ROM PS2 Game
Each original PS2 disc will have either CD-ROM or DVD-ROM stamped on the disc label and printed on the covers another way to tell is by looking at the bottom of the disc, a PS2 CD-ROM is blue and a PS2 DVD-ROM is silver.
Section 1 - Ripping Your Your DVD PS2 Games Using DVD Decrypter
Step 1 - Create a folder on your hard drive and name it VIDEO_TS. (i.e. C:\VIDEO_TS)
Step 2 - Insert your PS2 Game Disk in your DVD-ROM.
Step 3 - Insert your blank DVD-R into your DVD-R
Step 4 - Launch DVD Decrypter. DVD Decrypter will automatically read your PS2 Game Disc. See Figure 1.1
Figure 1.1 - The DVD Decrypter Control Panel
Step 5 - Select the ISO Mode and then Read R. (This step is to change the ripping mode) Figure 1.2
Figure 1.2 - Selecting ISO/Read Mode
Step 6 - Select a Destination. From the destination box, you have to select a filename and directory where to store the ISO image that DVD Decrypter will create for you. See Figure 1.4.
Figure 1.4 - Selecting a Destination
Step 7 - Navigate to the folder you created in Step 1 (i.e. C:\VIDEO_TS), give your PS2 Game a name. Then click the Save button. See Figure 1.5
Figure 1.5 - Naming Your PS2 Game
Step 8 - Copy the PS2 Game to your hard drive. After setting the destination filename, simply click the copy symbol in bottom of the window and DVD Decrypter will start ripping the game and creating a DVD image file to your HDD. See Figure 1.6
Figure 1.6 - Starting the Ripping Process
Step 9 - The ripping process may take between 15 - 60 minutes depending on your computer configuration. You will be presented with a progress panel as shown in Figure 1.7. (During the Ripping process do not use your computer or run any other programs)
Figure 1-7 - DVD Decrypter Rip Progress Panel
Step 10 - Upon completion of the ripping process you will be presented with the panel shown in Figure 1-8. You will also find an image file (ISO file) with the game name you gave. This file will have an *.ISO extension on it. See Figure 1-9. This ISO file can be burned directly to a DVD-R using DVD Decrypter.
Figure 1-8 - Rip Process Completed
Figure 1-9 - The ISO Image File
Section 2 - Burn Your DVD to a Blank DVD-R Using DVD Decrypter
Step 11 - Burn the image to DVD. After the ripping process has finished, you simply go to Mode menu again and select Write under ISO selection. Figure 1.10.
Figure 1.10 - Selecting ISO/Write Mode
Step 12 - In the Source section of DVD Decrypter, click on the small folder icon and select your movie from the directory you created in Step 1 (the ISO image) from your hard drive and click Open. Figure 1.11 and Figure 1.12
Figure 1.11 - The Source Section
Figure 1.12 - Selecting Your PS2 Game Image (ISO) File
Step 13 - Insert your blank DVD-R into your DVD-R burner and click the copy icon and wait for a veeeery loong time :-) Figure 1.14
Figure 1.14 - Burning Your Game to DVD-R
Section 3 - Burn Your PS2 Games Using PrimoDVD (Alternate Procedure)
1. Download and install PrimoDVD2. Launch the program.
2. When you start PrimoDVD2 you will get the PrimoDVD Starter window, just click the "Go to Full Application" button (A).
3. In the Left of this window it will list your drives, select your DVD burner and right click (B).
4. In this menu select "Build Global Image" (C).
5. In this window leave all default settings except for the following:
a) In the Global image box type the destination & name of the image file to be created (D).
b) In the Reading Speed box select MIN (D).
6. Click the "Build" button and leave your PC for a while and you will be left with the image file(s) (E).
7. Insert a blank quality DVD-R, go to Full Application window again and click on "Global Image or Other Image" icon (F).
8. Double click your DVD burner so a red arrow appears next to it (G).
9. Select your image file (H).
10. Set write speed to the lowest setting (x1 if possible) (J).
11. Select "Test and if OK Record" (once you have successfully done a few you can just select "Record" but it is best to test the first few you do) (K).
12. Click the red record button (L).
13. Go have a cup of tea. When the process is complete you will have a backup copy of your PS2 game.
Wazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzup!

rusty, u seem like ur a lot of help but i still have a couple questions. i have both Nero 6 and dvd decryptor and i could follow ur instructions on how to burn without a problem. however, b4 i purchase a mod chip or swap disc (i'm leaning towards the modchip cuz swapping disc everytime is jus plain annoying). anyway i have 2 questions...
1. i only have a dvd+r burner which could only burn dvd+r discs and in your instructions u only mentioned dvd-r discs. can i still make ps2 dvd backups with dvd+r discs? if so, how? if the 2 type of discs work the same way jus let me know so i can stop my research and purchase a mod chip now.
2. if dvd+r/-r discs do not burn the same way, what modchip would u suggest so that it is at a decent price and compatible with my v7 ps2 and dvd+r discs?
ps - anyone else who knows what they're talkin about can also shed some light so i can burn my way to hell. =] no pun intended.
ps2 v7, hp dvd+r disc, no mod chip or swap disc yet (doin research b4 i purchase anything)

Not to sound demanding, but I need step by step help on creating an .iso image and then burning it using DVD Decrypter and/or Alcohol 120%. Also I do have CDRWIN and MagicISO (so I can create an .iso file.)But Im having a problem doing all of that, just when I thought I had an iso image and burned I got an error. I'm trying to make my first iso image files and burning them with beast wars transmetal and dragonball gt final bout so I can test it on my modded ps1. So I deeply appreciate your help. Im not literate when it comes to modding and burning, so I could use really specific instructions, but if you can't I'll take what I can get. Sorry if I sound demanding and greedy Im just excited knowing that I can have all the games I want just by downloading them and burning. So thanx in advance

Hello Jordan
I am also a newbie at all this, but if you open DVD Decrypter, it will come up in the top box exactly what dvd write or cd writer you have on your system ?
When you first start up DVD Decrypter?
You will see the welcome scree and as always at the top you have file, view, mode, tools, help
straight underneath, there is a Source button and you can browse for a file ??
underneath again you will see another box with four labels of text
LABEL:
SECTORS:
SIZE:
TIME:
underneath again DESTINATION This pull down menu, should have you dvd writer in there????
So when you want to creat an game file or an MDS file
put your original ps2 game into your dvd writer and go into dvd decryper and i want you to go straight to MODE and then scroll down to ISO and then scroll to READ and then come out of there and go to the bottom parrt of the DVD Decrypter welcome screen and there you will see or notice an icon of a HARD DISC and also a symbol of a dvd DISC, just before you do the above part go into TOOLS and then select SETTINGS and put your write speed to 1x and then come out of there and simply click the HARD DISC and DVD SYMBOL button once, and that will copy the MSD file to your pc hard drive, and then to write it just follow the above but in MODE this time go to ISO WRITE and that will write the game to the disc for you Okay
When you have loaded the correct file to be copied hit the HARD DISC AND DVD SYMBOL again
hoper this helps you ?

Please Help. I have a Neo12 modchip installed in my PS2 v10 console. It is soldered
correctly according to the instruction sheet. The console plays correctly as if nothing was
installed on it. It plays backups of DVD movies, backups of audio cds, and originals of
DVD, CD, PS2 and PS1 games. It does not play backups of PS2 and PS1 games. When
trying to play a backup of any PS2 or PS1, the console says, "Please inset a Playstation2
or Playstation formatted disc". The programs I'm using to backup the games are
CloneCD 4.2 for PS1 games and Nero 6.3's option to Copy DVD for PS2 games. After
coping I verify that the copy is identical to the original and they are. The media I'm using
is Memorex 52x CD-R and Memorex 8x DVD+R and I'm burning at 4x for both. Could
someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

I would try iam1's instructions using DVD Decrypter as I know that works. I am not sure if you can make a COPY using Nero. From my understanding you need to make an ISO file and then burn this to DVD. So, try using DVD Decrypter. Do the ISO read and ISO write thing and you should be fine. Just follow the instruction on pages 1 through 4 of this thread.

rustyfanz information was excellent, but i have one question, im using a sony dvd dual layer dru 710 A, and i have all of the following software. I have 2 ps2's one with a dmsc3 and one with a no solder mod chip with a swap disc activation. When i burn games, none of them work, im not sure what im doing wrong. Is it possible to burn a burned game? If so I know for a fact that i am burning my discs wrong, and i think i know the problem. When i enter a dvd 4x into my dru 710 A, Nero or roxio or any of the other softwares read it as a "cd drive" and automatically changes the writing to 24x, which i want is 4x because of my sony dics. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

You can fix the problem first by uninstalling htat piece o crap Roxio(it conflicts wit Nero). Start up Nero and just choose ur dvd burner to burn dvds and not cds. If your using Nero express this drop down menu should be on the top right.
In life, the test will always come first and the lesson later...
