How r yas??

Would a ps2 game back-up look the same as the original? Like would the graphics look the same for example?
And also if you are using - dvds rather than + would that also make a difference?
I know nothin about this, so hopefully u can help :-)

Cheers

you don't notice quality dimishing in ps2 games, although you do need a mod-chip in order to play back up copies.

thats true, and that will void ur warranty, unless u use external.
also NOTE that this shouldn;t be disscued in this forum. im not 100% sure but i think its against the rules. so if is feel free to please delete my post

Some games you will not be able to backup. Final Fantasy 10 for example uses the 9 gig discs that the DVD burners for this are not available yet.

If you want to make sure you're backing up a ps2 game perfectly download Alcohol 120%. It has a PS2 setting for copying the ps2 games.

I hope this isn't too late,
Irelandmadman, don't buy a DVD burner until after April. There was an entire section on this in the overclockers main page. Current DVD-burners can only burn one layer, and not two, which is the current standard for DVD films.
Essentially the manufacturers are pushing technology now that will be obsolete in a few months.
Here's the link (http://www.overclockers.com/articles916/)
