Hello...

Is there something different about this other than PC game backups? Do I need to know anything special?

Can some one link me to a guide or I can just follow the ones that can be found in our copy tutorials forum?

Thanks a lot!

Would be a good start

1. Insert original.
2. Hit "copy".
3. Play game.

There's no "tutorial" needed. Just copy the disc with ANY program.

Of course, you WILL need a mod chip. You knew that, right?

This will also help you. http://www.ps2nfo.com/ Join the forums, because even if you can copy it, you still have to be able to play it (mod-chip,flip-top, slide tool, hard drive). I personally use a combination of flip-top and hard drive.

No Gurm, I'm not that noob :P I have a mod-chip.
Thank you all. PS2NFO looks like a great site.

Ok well if you have a mod chip, my method... is to just use DVD Decrypter. Copy the disc. Presto! Mind you there are SOME cd-only games that will be libcrypted (although I think that was really only PSX games, but I can't be certain). So DVD Decrypter for DVD based games, CloneCD for CD based games.

As for dual-layer, well it's really only GT4 (and a couple imports) and there are instructions on the PS2-only sites for making a working backup on two discs (or one dual-layer) of GT4.
