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.
