playstation 2 backup discs

[snakepliskin2334]

is there a way to just to play back ups on a ps2 with out modding it or do you have to mod in order to play back ups

Swap Magic is capable of running backups, but you have to have a real copy of Swap Magic to run it, and a way to open your PS2 drive without the console knowing.

Alternatively, if you have any method of installing FMCB, and you have an older PS2 (before 2009, iirc) then you can use that to run ESR and boot ESR-patched backup discs.
