you dont want to play "backed up" games, you want to play "import" games.

I don't want my PS2 discs damaged or scratched, I have a DVD-R drive on my PC, but I'm told I need to'chip' my PS2 in order to play my own copied games.

I thought I was well within my rights to backup my collection of games - If the rules on this forum are against such conversation - I'll abide - Fair enough.

Well it's quite clear in the charter but let me simplfy it:

Warez/copying games=not allowed
Putting chips/cards/bananas into your console=allowed

HTH

If anyone wants a banana in there machine PM me. 300 yoyos but you have to supply the banana. Works great with all japanese banana mania games such as the exquisite Catch Catch my Banana Monkey Boy!!!, Banana vs. Enka dancer German techno mix and my personal favourite Banana Dating Memorial School Ver. 3.2.

Terms and conditions apply. I will not be held responsible for any banana related injuries or console malfunctions.

Most import bananas work well with all the games. However I have heard some people have had trouble getting some Fifes bananas working for early versions of Banana Quest 4: Hey Masashi! Wheres my Banana!. I suggest using a Chiquita banana if you might have trouble with this game.
