Hi. I've read here quite a lot of the pro's and con's of backing up PS2 games tried a few and haven't had one success yet.
There was a thread I read and used it to work from, there were many 'How to get it done' advice and one member by the name of Digital 9x gave a great tutorial that meant rebuiding the game with things like IML2 something or other and much more. However, the focus seemed to be on using Alcohol 120% and I presume the option to copy a PS2 game.from the list of games that Alcohol 120% gives that it can do.
Well I did just that, and as yet have not managed to get a working copy of the game I am trying to backup, 8 -10 failures.The game i am trying to backup is namely "Need for Speed 2_Most Wanted" .
When I put the backup disc into the PS2 console it will not play.
Do I need a modchip, or a Swapdisc or.........
Basically,using the Original game disc, I just copied it using Alcohol 120% 'Playstation 2' option, direct to computer HDD and the created the backup disc.
Any reason why these backups aren't working for me.
I have also had the same problem with Alcohol 120% NOT producing 1:1 backups of PC-ROM games that I have, even though I am using the given copy protection methods available. But, that is not PS2 forum territory.
Believe me, I have read PAGES of threads on PS2 backup making, and at the end of the day, can't seem to get a working result.
