    Is it illegal to burn those games? The mods here usually let people discuss burning movie DVDs, is this any different? Fair use?

    To play copied games, you need an emulator which never work. My friend got one and tried to instal it and ended up breaking his PS2. Also games are so big that if you copied it it would be terrible quality and the odds that everything in the game would work are very slim. Just rent the game or if you really like it buy it.

    Modchips work.

    I think 'tried' gives away the cause of the break here.

    Copy: To duplicate.



    Why would something that had accurately been copied ( CD for a CD or DVD for a DVD) be terrible quality, where is the loss?

    Not true.They work.



    However, you are right that people should buy their games.



    Duplication can have a legit function if done to allow owners of software to exercise their 'fair use' rights....I think you. or your friend may simply have been poorly advised about technique.

    -I ment modchips I didn't mean to say emulators.

    -Unless a videogame for PS2 or XBOX is 4.7 GB's which they are not, they are huge, then the quality would be bad.

    -If you copy a game it has to copy, compress and decode thousands of audio and all other types of files so they will probably all not work.



    I've never tried to burn games myself, because I don't play videogames (except for Halo, which I own). However a few of my friends tried and they all never did it again after the first one because they didn't think it was worth it.
