I know folks used to bkup PS2 discs with Fab 3.xxx, clone mode, -R media.
However, you still had to mod the platform.
I haven't heard of anyone doing it in awhile.

Last I heard...and it's been quite a while, you couldn't bkup PS3 discs and get them to play, period.

Last thread that asked this question disappeared in a puff of smoke and I never figured out who did it.

Hmmm...that stinks.
Sorry, I don't recall...wonder if there were violations of forum rules, etc...?

Fengtao still has PS2 in his product description on DVDFab.com

"7. Clone: Make perfect 1:1 bit-to-bit copy of DVDs:
◦Make perfect dual layer DVD copy by using the original layer break
position.
◦Copy data DVD disc, like PS2 DVD."

There were no other forum violations and signals didn't do it. The scuttlebutt is that the website text is due to be changed soon.

Gotcha, thanks.

It would be a lovely add-on feature, worthy of an extra cost for sure....

I didn't make the original post but was involved in it. You can clone PS2 disks with Fab but like mainman said you must either mod the console or use swap magic to boot it. Nothing will copy the disk so that it will play in the console without a boot device. I've cloned most all the games I have and put the originals away for exactly the reason the OP has stated.

I have done the same with all my PS2 games.
