ps2 backup without mod chip
something I found





Before you can use a Gameshark2 to play backed up games, you need to meet a few criteria. First, you have to use a GS2 v2 or lower. GS2 v3 automated ejecting the cd tray to combat this flaw. Second, you need to use some type of swap method. This proceedure will allow you to play backed up games without a modchip, but you still have to do a little work. And finally third, this method has only been tested on versions 1, 2, 4, and 5 of PS2's. I cannot vouche if this method works on newer models.

1) Boot up your PS2 with the GS2 CD.
* if you are playing a CD type game, skip to step 4 *

2) Eject the GS2 CD and insert an authentic PS2 DVD game.

3) Wait appx. 15-20 seconds for the PS2 to recognize the authentic game.

4) On the main menu, select to start the game without codes and hit X. The disc will stop to spin, and the GS2 will ask for you to insert the game.

5) DO NOT PRESS EJECT. Instead, use whatever swap method you prefer to insert your backed up game.

6) Hit X to start, and if done correctly, the game will load up without the use of a modchip!

7) You can play PS1 games using this same method if you have the GS2 PSX Archive CD.

By that, it means open up your PS2 and stick a knife in it to remove a cog.

Just use the psx game exploit to install the hdloader software on your memory card It's even cheaper than buying the hdloader disc. I've got it installed on my mem card, I just need to get a network adapter and I'll be good to go.

I've got a few questions for those of you with the hdloaders though. Can you copy your game save files over to the hard drive? Also, is the file system the same as a pc uses? For example, can I keep moving the hdd back and forth between the computer and the ps2? I have some back ups of games stored on one of my hard drives now and I'm wondering if I'll be able to copy them over to the hard drive I want to use for the ps2.

Thanks for the reply, however I was able to find that it actually is possible to copy (well not copy, but install) the backups from the pc to the ps2. Gotta love all those little hackers out there

I use a disc swapping method and it works fine, I have not harmed my PS2 at all. I think it is called Swap Magic, but I am not completely sure.

I also found WinHIP I think it's similar to the other one, but this one will allow to you remove games as well. I won't have a chance to test either until this weekend. I'll post my results as soon as I can

I just wanted to give a little update on my progress. I finally got everything working this weekend with the hdloader memory card exploit. As far as transferring games to the hdd, the winHIP application worked FAR better than Faplink. Faplink may have been more convenient if I had my wireless router in the same room as my pc and ps2, however it's clear across the house and I don't have a crossover cable. Even if that wasn't the case, I think I'd still prefer winHIP. It gives you the option to backup your drive, format it, and a few other things as well.
