How to Play ISO Games on PS2

The Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) is a second generation gaming console from Sony. It plays next-gen games with superior graphics and audio. The PS2 is one of the first consoles to offer a hard drive, and when installed, it opens a whole new world of gaming. You can save entire games onto the PS2 hard drive and play them without the disk. They are stored on the drive as an ISO file. This, of course, opens up piracy issues so only copy your legally purchased games onto your hard drive.
