Playstation 2 question

I was wondering if it was possible to burn playstation 2 games...if so, what do I need in order to do it?...and do I need any sort of mod chip for the playstation 2 itself in order for it to read it correctly?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

yeah you need a modchip.

and ps2 games are DVDs, so you need a DVD burner, not just a CD burner.

Not all PS2 games are DVD, only the ones with silver bottoms are.

not necessarily...but most likely for future games. some games (like NHL2002, for example) are still on cd-roms. so if you are willing to choose your games that way -not a very good choice- then you dont need a DVD burner.

i always think this discussion is hilarious because someone is actually willing to pay for a mod chip and either:

a) installing it themselves, potentially destroying the ps2, or
b) paying someone else to to do it, where THEY could screw up your ps2, rendering it useless.

i know games are expensive, but if you can afford a ps2, mod chip, installation, blank CDs or DVDs, CD burner, DVD burner, and memory cards for you multiple games, then you may as well just buy a couple good games that will work, and even if your ps2 craps out it is still under warranty, so itll get fixed... plus its not like every game is good, there are just a select few actually worth money anyways, so you may as well rent some, pick the ones that are worthwhile and then buy them...you cant always have everything you want...late/

I was under the impression that there are external mod chips for ps2 now.

Oh, and how do you know which games can be burned without a dvd burner?

i dont know much about the actual chip, so i might be ill informed...the only way i know of telling is to look on the back of the case and it should tell you. or like tekno said
black underneath=cdrom
silver underneath=dvdrom
and i think gold=video cd, but im not sure...
