For a long time the Playstation
2™ was known to be not
easily moddable (to play backups
or self-burned dev-cd's) until
some clever guys found a way to
use the normal PSX modchip
in the PS2 to boot up PS2 backups
using a normal swap with the now
so famous Action Replay
(Gameshark in the U.S.)
cheat CD's.
The first batch of titles were
released on normal (but blue-layered)
CD's but as the chip situation
on the PS2 grew clearer more
and more titles were pressed
on DVDs. Now, almost
all new titles are released
on DVDs which no longer are
as easy to backup as CD's.
Here is where the ripping
comes in. The process of ripping
means downsizing the game-data
(by deleting or substituting
not necessary files - gameplay-wise)
and burning the backup on a
CD which then can be loaded
using the swap with ActionReplay.
This part of my site will concentrate
on how to start ripping your
own games and will also feature
self-written tutorials (along
with tools) to rip specific
games.
NOTE:
I do not support piracy in any
way, so don't bug me if you
are searching sites for ISOs
of games or anything illegal.
The informations provided here
are merely for educational and
backup purposes.
