*(1) No, you *can* stick DVD games onto CDs without using a DVD-Writer or a DVD-R/RW.

*(2) DVD-R's dont cost £23, more like £5 at the most.

*(3) I bet the chip you could get is a crummy Neo2.2, like mine... which I paid £80 for.

Hah! :D

To get a DVD game on a CD-R would involve eliminating a LOT of material...

And to play them on PS2, you DO need a chip, as PS2 games have a boot mechanism (or special marking on the PS2 CD) that does not allow this. Needless to say, I expect some games don't have this protection :D

Will you die if you don't find out?

No?

Then you're not in desperate need.
