Everything depends:


  • Case 1: If you have an old non modded PS2, then there'll be no way you can use a copy of a boot disc, since it will not boot backups. For that you must look for the "Knife trick" to make your backups boot (but i think it'll not help, since for that i remember that you must use an original disc)
  • Case 2: If you have an old modded ps2 then there's no need for boot disc
  • Case 3: If you have a slim PS2, then there's least you can do without an original disc. Only an original boot disc would do it
  • Case 4: Modded slim ps2. The same as Case 2.

So, burning a boot disc won't help if your ps2 can't play backups. if you really want to boot the disc, then you have to have a modchip installed and then, depending in the modchip brand, you must burn it in the supported media for it, but it would make no sense since with a modchip you can play backups without boot discs
I hope it helps

Say, I've been waiting to get my hands on a ps2 modschip. but there's so much versions available.. that I don't know which one to choose. You who seem to know what you're talking about, what's the best chip to get? I'm specifically looking for one that plays imports without problems..

If you want the BEST (but also the most expensive) you can get a matrix infinity or a DMS4. A good choice would be to choose a mars pro modchip, that chip will play imports made on cdr's and dvdr's. Here are the specs

PS: I don't know if it's ok to post prices here, but i won't so as to not getting in problems.
Spoiler:
The page has the price of it, but it's in £

What type of PS2 do you have? Ours is one of the big boxy older models. We got a flip top case and a Swap Magic disc. It will now boot anything (assuming that its laser is behaving itself), and we didn't need to do any soldering. The flip top makes swapping very easy and convenient.

Sorry, I know nothing about case mods for the newer PS2's, assuming they even exist. I just figured I'd mention the flip top in case it helped anyone.
