How to Boot a Backup PS2 CD

Backing up your video games is important, as the game discs become scratched and unusable the more you play the game. These backups are saved onto a blank disc that can then be played on a video game console. Playing game backups on the Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) is possible through the use of a program called HDLoader. HDLoader is a one-of-a-kind program that runs right on the PS2 and allows you to play game backups from your PS2's hard drive. HDLoader's install disc is able to run on the PS2 because it is pressed in the same manner as original PS2 game discs.
