Backing up FFX (Newbie Question)

[Nitrogen666]

Hi there,

I don't have a PS2, or indeed know anything about them (i am more into the Xbox scene). However, a friend has asked me to back up his FFX game. He says he doesn't have a modchip but rather some kind of 'Boot disc'. Apparently it allows him to play back ups of his games.

As i said, i know nothing about the PS2 'scene'. If i followed the RecordNow Max tutorial, is there a good chance it will work on his PS2 (using the 'boot disc' of course) ?

Thanks for any help you can give and sorry if this seems like a newbie question.

Yes, if he knows how to use it without killing his PS2. The no-chip solutions are very dangerous.

Not true. Flip tops are safe and alot easier to install.

for the cost, a chipped solution is still a helluva lot safer though. Anything that exposes internal components to the elements unneccesarily is a risk--especially when it can be easily avoided. It only cost me I think $13 to chip 2 v5's with a no-solder plug mod almost 3 years ago--and I didn't have to worry about constantly exposing drive components, feking up CD's or the drive spindle....etc.

There really is little excuse for not getting a chipped solution these days. I mean, if you're willing to void all warranties by jamming a knife in there and risk thrashing your drive tray, or replacing the shell for a flippy lid--why not do it right the first time around and not have to worry about it?

My 2 cents....not worth much, but I'm sure many will agree....
