How to Play Copied PSX Games on a PS2

The Sony PlayStation 2 has, for some time, been known as a console that could be modified so it can play imported games and bypass region protection. However, this wouldn't necessarily work with playing copied PSX games. There are a few ways that these kinds of games can be played, however, due to the PlayStation 2's ability to read other types of media. Just like it can read a music CD, it can read a backup copy of a PSX game.
