How can you play import/copied games on PS2?
Is chipping the only way and is it safe?

thats it.
*gets skateboard out*
you know what this means dont ya.

*Reports Post*

:-D

if i type what i wanted youll all probably press the report post button so ill just say im not getting my ps2 chipped in a few weeks and am NOT paying £30 for 7 games. the guy didn say he wont chip my ps2 now because its under guarantee and he thinks ill go to sony under guarantee if something goes wrong a few weeks later.

The neo4 is a coming in a month or two which dosn't require a boot disc, and provides region free dvd, as well as support for dvd backups.

but if you can afford a 500quid dvd/rw to make backups, you can probably aford original games.

I am waiting for an external one as well. I am definetely going to buy it

I wouldn't mind a mod chip for imports, perfectly legal although Sony are against it and will void you warrenty which is why i'm waiting for an external one.

As for "chipping" i've nothing to say on the subject, sorry :-D

People who sell copied games are telling me that a chip that doesnt requires opening up your ps2 is coming out soon. So its either that or a boot disc which wont be out for a while

I'm in no way advocating copyright theft however I do believe in giving answers where I can.

Get a neo 2.2 (or newer) chip for your ps2, these cost a tenner or less, and are very easy to fit, however sony changes the motherboard of ps2 regularly, so the attachment points are always moving. Your warranty is then void, but hey, warranties don't last forever, and ps2's are just £199.

Rent games from blockbuster, and using your cd writer (and DVD drive for dvd roms) equipped pc, copy the games, you can find tutorials on most games on the internet. You'll need a few software packages and afair bit of patience.

However, you'll also need the Sony cd/dvd generator (not for sale at any price from Sony) to recreate ps bootable discs, and a stack of blanks for all of the coasters you're going to burn.


To play em, you'll need to boot your ps2 with an action replay 2 disc, then swap to your ripoff disc.



Best to rent em and play em legally from blockbuster.

Or buy them, and sell them on when bored.

its meant to shorten the life of your PS2 as well

You have to get your PS2 chipped to play them, however then your warranty becomes void, you risk your PS2 not working and it damages the industry.

Also Sony will have nothing to do with you. All in all, its a bad idea.
