How Do You Copy PS2 Games With Windows Vista?

Backing up your PS2 games to a DVD is one of the best ways to ensure that you aren't losing money on your investment. PS2 games are sensitive to dirt, scratches and CD wallets that actually harm the games rather than protect them. If you pick up a PS2 console while it's still turned on, you can also damage the game. If you are concerned about a game that is out of print or hard to find, backing it up to a DVD is the best solution.

Computer running Windows Vista
Windows Vista-compatible DVD decrypter software
PS2 game
