You would still need a mod chip to play "backups" regardless if you are using Nero or this software.

If you don't have a mod chip for your ps2, dont worry you can still play backups of your games, It's just alot more hassle. So i would advise you to get one.

Burning PS2 Game Backup Discs Step-By-Step

(2) If you don't have a mod chip.

I suggest you use CloneCD or CDRWin to do a straight CD copy. This gives you an un-patched backup.

If you have CloneCD or CDRWin (UTFSE) here are the settings:

CloneCD

1. Open CloneCD.
2. Click the Copy CD Picture (3rd Picture along)
3. Read Tab
* Select your CD Reader.
* Select your read speed. I suggest you keep it low. Sorry if you have little patience.
* Read SubChannel Data from Data Tracks: Checked
* Read SubChannel Data from Audio Tracks: Checked
* The other boxes can be left unchecked.
4. Image File Tab
* Browse for the directory that you want the image file to be extracted to.
* Check the Delete After Successful Write box if you want.
5. Write Tab
* Select your CD Writer.
* Select your write speed. I strongly suggest you burn at a maximum of 4x.
* Everything should be all right as it is.
6. Ignore the Global tab. It is not important.
7. Now click the Start Disc Copy button at the bottom.
8. CloneCD will then read the disc and when finished write to a blank disc.
9. Finished.

CDRWin

1. Open CDRWin.
2. Click the Backup Disc button (Second along)
3. Backup Mode: Copy To Image And Record
4. Image disk: Select your hard drive (Default)
5. CD Reader & CD Recorder: Set CD reader & CD recorder to the same (Always read with burner)
6. Reading Options
* Read: Raw Sectors
* Error Recovery: Ignore
* Jitter Control: Disable
* Subcode Analysis: Auto
* Data Speed: Select Your Speed (Keep it low)
* Audio Speed: Select Your Speed (Keep it low)
* Read Retry Count: Select How Many Times You Want CDRWin To Retry Reading Damaged Data Before It Fails
7. Recording Options
* Uncheck All Boxes On The Top Line
* Number Of Discs To Backup: Select Number Of Discs
* Number Of Copies: Select Number Of Copies You Want
* Speed: Select Your Burning Speed (Keep it low)
* Disc Transporter Mode: Disable If you want, select Save Settings at the side

You can use DVD Decrypter for the DVD PS2 games. It works great for me. As for CD based PS2 games Clone CD works as stated above.
