What is a PS2 Mod Chip?
PS2 Mod Chips are electronic chips that can be added to your PS2. Once installed, the PS2 mod chip will allow you to play backup games from CD-R/DVD, imported games, open source apps, and homebrew software.
For example, many gamers like to copy their games by using programs like Game Copy Pro. This is about the best copying program available now for console games. Game Copy Pro will make quality backups of your games using a CD or DVD burner.
Once you have made your copy, you will need to have a PS2 mod chip to play them. What happens is the console will then check the boot information on the CD. The mod chip then injects the correct boot information.
There are many places on the web to buy mod chips. Modchip.com is our personal choice as we have found their chips work in every PS2, PSX, and PS One and they have a great selection. Their customer service so far has been excellent. PS2Cover.com is also another great site for mod chips.

Using a PS2 Mod ChipBefore looking at using PS2 mod chips, you should be aware that modding your PS2 will void Sony's warranty. Also take note of legal issues. Generally, in most countries it is legal to create backup copies in case the original is lost or damaged. Your PS2 mod chip will allow you to do this. However, if you did not purchase the original game, it could be considered pirated material. |
