It can't be backed up until a rip kit is released. You can by a hk silver though.

Try holding reset until the blue light comes on wjile booting and see if that helps. I doubt it will though.

hey man, i love u. that holding reset button trick worked on the bootin process.... i have no idea why............ but it worked...thank u!

Sure. You have to do the same thing with the apple for dvd9 games.

anyone know of a rip kit for this game?
