A high-quality DVD yields the best results when burning PS2 games.

Many avid PlayStation 2 fans wish to create duplicates of their games as backups. To avoid having to purchase a new copy of the game if the original is broken or lost, a PS2 enthusiast can copy (or burn) a game with relative ease. The process takes about 20 minutes and is the ideal solution for any PS2 fan who wishes to keep a duplicate of a game for practical reasons.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place a PS2 game into your computer's DVD burner, which doubles as your CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive. Be careful not to scratch or damage your PS2 game when you place it in the drive.

    • 2

      Start the DVD-burning software; DVD Decrypter will be used for this example (see Resources).

    • 3

      Move your cursor to the toolbar on the program.

    • 4

      Open the “Mode” menu, followed by the “ISO” menu and then choose the “Read” option. The most recent version of DVD Decrypter should detect the source of your DVD burner.

    • 5

      Move your cursor to “Decrypt” and left-click. The game will copy to your hard drive.

    • 6

      Remove the PS2 game and replace it with a blank DVD.

    • 7

      Open the “Mode” menu, followed by the “ISO” menu and then choose the “Write” option.

    • 8

      Select the PS2 file that was duplicated to your hard drive and left-click the “Write” option.

Tips & Warnings

  • Use high-end blank DVDs to duplicate your PS2 games. Cheaper, lesser-known brands of DVDs will scratch easily and sometimes flake if not protected.

  • Duplicating PS2 games that you have not purchased is illegal.

    This guide fails to mention that most PS2 systems require a mod chip to play the backup. That then violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the United States. So, congratulations... you have a backup, but until the laws change, you have have lost the legal rights to access that backup.
