Playstation 2 games are expensive to replace if lost, stolen or damaged. To avoid unnecessary cost, burn backup copies of your game collection. Burning PS2 games requires specific software and careful research, but your peace of mind is worth the effort.

Things You'll Need

Software
CD and DVD media
PS2 Mod chip

Instructions

- 1
  Purchase the necessary software. Look for software that specifically supports PS2 games, like GameJack or GameCloner. Key features to note when selecting software are ease of use, availability of technical support and copy quality.
- 2
  Look for software equipped to trump anti-piracy features. The best Playstation 2 game-burning software overcomes several types of copyright protection.
- 3
  Install a PS2 mod chip in your game console or hire a qualified professional to do the work. The chip allows Playstation 2 users to play copied games. The mod chip only enables users to play legal game backups.
- 4
  Buy boot discs instead of a mod chip. Sometimes referred to as swap discs, these tools do not require complicated installation. In most cases, users must simply insert a boot disc into the PS2 before putting in the copied game disc.
- 5
  Get the proper media. You can use DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW or CD-RW formats to burn PS2 games, which are either formatted as CD-ROMs or DVDs.
