Online with burnt Games?

Is it possible? What are the risks?
I recently got MGS3 Subsistence (burnt copy), and yes I have a mod chip. I saw someone say that they could play online by changing the Disc ID? i have all the setup, and I can go online fine with my chip in sleep mode, and with a retail game. Is it possible Otherwise? If so, HOW? will I get banned FOREVER/ ARRESTED if something screws up?

I remember that if you copy the correct Disk ID with WinDip to your burnt copy (you have to copy the data from your dvd as an .iso file on your hdd first then apply the correct values) and depending on your chip you can go online with no problems

However I think the newest games don't allow that too because the modchip might be detected and you will get a temporary ban
Be careful, you might also be fully banned from any ps2 online service and I would suggest you to not try it unless you know someone who got it working without problem

Also, do not use a Disk ID you obtained on a website in the Internet or one from a game from a rental shop as it might be used by a lot of people and in the end everyone gets banned

The last game I Tried was tony Hawk's Skateboarding which perfectly worked with my original as well as my patched backup

u need to disable ur chip somehow....if u cant then u need to make a DNA$ patched backup of MGS3 subsistence and play that online...

reason ? $ony detects chips only when u play originals online (provided they vr not disabled)

From my own experience the original Messiah mod chip is not detected by $ony, so although it can't be disabled you should still be able to play online.

I would suggest you try it. At worst you'll get a DNAS error (422 I think) which will stop you playing. You will not be banned and will still be able to find other ways to play online (such as DNAS patching)

Rubbish! If you patch a backup, then DNA$ will NOT detect any modchip.

Rubbish! How they gonna ban you when DNA$ is checked before you reach any server where they could be able to obtain any info on your IP or PS2? If you patched DNA$ correctly on the game, then the check thinks you have a legitimate retail copy anyway.

Even more rubbish! You really dont know what you're talking about do you?
So what if an ID is used by a lot of people? Do you think Sony have never heard of game rentals? Why would they ban a legitimately rented game? Besides, the IDs in games are done in batches. So even if you buy the game, there will most likely be hundreds of people who's Disc ID is exactly the same as yours. It would be rather expensive to make a unique ID for every single disc pressed as it would mean pressing one, stopping production, changing IDs, pressing another & so on..
