[Archived] Just Bought A Playstation 2


Recommended Posts

anyone know how to backup my games and play without a modchip?

To be fair mate I am sure that you need a chip in them for them to be able to play the copied games - sorry.

You can pick up some classic PS2 games cheap enough anyway however, your first purchases should be God of War 1 and 2 as you will be amazed by the graphics and game play.

After this you should be able to pick up for less the £20 each:-

Resident Evil 4

Grand Theft Auto (any of them cos they are all ace)

Pro Evo

Final Fantasy XII

Bully

Burnout

Enjoy :tu:

No you don't.

If you don't want to mod your Playstation, you need Swap Magic. Along with these you need a way of changing discs without using the eject button. Since you haven't said which type of PS2 you have I can't help much more, but the safest and easiest way is to buy a third-party case for console that replaces the official one (without breaking the warranty) which has a flip lid on top to allow you to do this. Just typing "PS2 flip lid" or something similar into eBay should do the trick.

Thanks Le Chuck, I have a mini slim top loader so this would work a treat. Can't purchase in Australia though, will have to search round

They still need a new case unfortunately, I had to put one on mine. I've tried having a look round the net and I can't find any, now that I think about it I think the legality changed on them a while back so they could be harder to come across. I've found this site selling them, others probably will if you Google around a bit. The guide on Swap Magic also says you can use something called a 'Magic Switch', I'm not sure where you'd buy those though.
