If you have a mod chip and hdd in ur ps2, the best way is to use a program to copy the game to your hdd and then ftp the ps2 to ur cpu and copy the game from your xbox hdd to your pc hdd. Then use qwix or some program to make an iso and burn that iso to a dvd-r. Some programs claim they can copy games directly on the cpu but most of these programs don't work. You can't rip the game to your pc and burn it either. That won't work. So the best way is the one listed above.

what did u use to rip the disc. I doubt that using a dvd ripper will work.

no you don't need to rip the disc. tell me the process you used to copy your disc.

You can't make an exact copy right on the computer. You need to use the xbox and do the above. And also you said you don't have a mod chip...then why are you making a copy of the game?

thank you very much dielawn. so now you guys understand that the easiest way is to have a modded xbox, preferably with an upgraded hdd, but the one on there works okay too, however it can only hold 8-10gb.

You guys are killing me. If you read the whole thread, you will get what you need out of it.

XBOX:

Gotta have a modchip for Xbox backups. (I like Xenium Ice - easy to use... plenty of room for plenty of bios files... has a HDD unlocker and formatter, and the iceguide is very easy to follow.

Gotta have a bios loaded to run an install disc like Firefuckers or Slayers.

Gotta have a Dashboard to run any apps, emulators, etc...

That being said... Use a X-0ver cable to connect from the PC to your Xbox. Configure your Ethernet adapter with an IP and a subnet. Configure your Xbox with an IP and that same subnet. The Gateway is the IP of your PC. Open Internet Explorer (Firefox no workie) and type "ftp://xbox:xbox@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx". The default username:password is xbox:xbox and the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the Xbox.

Now, you can browse anything in the HDD or the Disc in the drive! Just like picking through your own folders. Drag the files from the game into a folder somewhere on your PC and then use Craxtion to create an Xbox image that contains these files. Burn the image with Nero or Alcohol 120% and viola. (In Nero Express, open and existing project and then select the iso that you just built. Burn it slow, if your system resources are not up to par).

I don't even bother. My new HDD is big enough to handle a buttload of games and apps. I use DVD2Xbox to extract the backups straight to the HDD. If I wanna archive them and get them off of the HDD, I just use the same backup method, only I get the files from the HDD instead of the D:drive. Dig?

PS2:

Gotta have SOME type of modification made to the box. If you don't have a modchip and bios and all of that jazz, you can do what I do.

You can use a physical mod coupled with software... ie. Cogswaploader + SwapMagic.

I have a chip that lets me eject without the system knowing it ejected. It thinks it just screwed up for a second. I still have to use SwapMagic and all of that. I made myself an install disc for Keylauncher and I use HDadvance to load games on my HD. Some games play with certain modes applied and some don't. If they don't, I just stuff the original in my PC and use DVDDecrypter to make the iso AND burn the ISO. (Gotta use SwapMagic to play the discs, tho).

A good place for PS2 questions is www.PS2OWNZ.com These guys RULE!!!

Next project for me will be figuring out the whole "add a second and third HDD to your Xbox" deal. After I get mo money, of course. ;) nooche

1. You need a mod chip
2. You need a new dash on ur xbox
3. You need to flash your mod chip
4. You burn the iso using dvd-decrypter or nero

Sooooo if it is already an iso (XBOX ISO!!!), then you can just burn that dude to a DVD and go. You can use the same method that is described in the thread. SHOOT! The hard part is done for you.

You didn't have to load the disc and then grab all the files via a x-over cable and rebuild them into an Xbox ISO. Just burn the image. I like Nero.
