Ps2 Backup Protection

With the investment of the software you can purchase many more games and not have to repurchase your favorites just because you play hard on your games.

When the gaming industry was young and before CD and DVD hardware were on the market, games were sold on floppy disk. At that time manufacturers actually encouraged gamer's to make copies of their games. Can you imagine they actually wanted you to make copies of your software disks. They knew that disks could get damaged fairly easily and they wanted to make sure that their customers didn't have to spend their hard earned money to replace their favorite games over and over. What happened to this idea of retaining customers? It is a concept that sounds to good to be true these days.

Ps2 Backup Needs Help

Now that you have the software and you have made your backup copy you will want to do two things, test the copy to see if it works and, if it does, then you will want to use only the Ps2 backup to play with. But wait there is one more glitch. True to the modern way of doing things, Playstation will not read the backup disk. That's right Playstation cannot read game disks that are backups. You will need to purchase a modchip, or modification chip, in order for Ps2 to let you play the game. Modchip's can invalidate your console warranty.
