I was wondering, is it in the United states is it legal to install the xeno modchip and play legally backed up games?
That's not true. Do you have a source?
Buying a game, legal, making backup.... depends i guess, the way i see it, is not legal since is written in the back of every game you buy the legal and licensening rights and other stuff, mostly saying things about what is not legal or warnings and such. To me, since the people who we buy our stuff from never gave us permission to or even a tool to create backups, i doubt is legal. Do people do it anyway? YES! Why cause that is how we are.
(Sorry i'm not a political nut like others are. I tend to stay away from stressing related content.)
Umm the op is from america, so i think Your laws and rules don't apply here. But good for you.Well here in Scotland it actually is legal as you are allowed to make one back up of any game/dvd/music cd ect that you own and if you sell or give away that game/dvd/music cd you legally have to destroy the backup copy straight away.
Fair point but that is pretty much the law the world over and others have pretty much said the law is the same in America plus also here like America companies like nintendo post messages on the game boxes ect saying that it is illegal to make back ups ext even though they are in the wrong in saying that.Umm the op is from america, so i think Your laws and rules don't apply here.

this right here /\. However there's also this: http://gizmodo.com/the-new-dmca-rul..._source=gizmodo_twitter&utm_medium=socialflowMaking dumps for personal usage is completly legal. If u buy a game dump it and then play the dump on emulator/ on a dump loader on console itself then its legal. If u give tge dumped file to a friend then its illegal. Iirc if you sell the game to some1 you should delete the dump/never use it cause it is illegal. Thats considered piracy. Also if your friend uses your dump its considered piracy.
