How to Copy PS2 Games Using DVD Decrypter

DVD Decrypter is a DVD backup program that allows you to both rip an image of the DVD to your hard drive and burn that image to a blank DVD. The program also allows you to do the same for Playstation 2 games. Backing up your PS2 games means you can store your original copies for safekeeping and let the backups take the wear and tear from playing them. In order to play your backed-up games you must have a modded PS2, but assuming you have that, backing up the games with DVD Decrypter couldn't be quicker.
