How To Copy PS2 Games – An Intro

Playstation 2 or PS2 is no longer one of the most expensive game consoles on the market however, the price increases when you have to buy all of the games. When a game gets scratched or broken, the last thing you want to do is have to spend more money to replace it. You will never have to replace a game again when you learn how to copy PS2 games easily from your own computer.

In the past, many people thought making copies of PS2 was almost impossible because of the type and size of the DVD discs. But, now it is very simple to make backup copies of PS2 games. You need a reliable computer with Windows XP or a later operating system and high speed internet, a dual layer DVD burner, blank DVDs, and special game copying software that can read and burn PS2 games.

There is a lot of information on how to copy PS2 games and many websites offer game copying software. The game copying software is easy to use and runs similar to DVD burner programs.

Copying a PS2 game is essentially the same as copying any DVD movie. Depending on the speed of your computer and DVD burner, it can take up to 30 minutes to load the game into the DVD burner and create an ISO image. Once the software is finished creating the image, replace the game with a blank DVD and burn the ISO image onto it. This should take another 10-15 minutes.

Of course you will need to make sure that the website you are about to download the software from is legit and does not infect your computer with adware or viruses. You should also make sure that the game copying software comes with a money back guarantee in case you cannot get it to work or dislike it. And last but not least: if you own a Mac, double check whether the game copying software will run on Macs.

Sometimes you need a modchip to play the backup copies of PS2 games. But, with some game copying software you do not need the modchip. Some game copying software can decode the copy protection on the games when they are being copied. With most of the software programs you can also make copies of games from other game systems.

Keep the originals in good condition by using the backdrops on a regular basis. This way, if they get damaged, you can just make another copy and not worry about it.

You can save lot of money by making the backup copies of your PS2 games and also ensure the peace of your mind that your original games will always be safe.
