Hi StarliteJo, welcome to GKF.

The easiest way to back up PS2 games was with a program called RecordNow Max, but unfortunately, the free version, is no longer available.

Your PS2 will need to be chipped, or be using other methods to play Backed Up Games.

However you can back them up by using Nero, the procedure is as follows ..

Extracting with Nero Burning ROM. (*.NRG)

1. Insert original game. Open Nero Burning ROM.
2. Click on ‘Recorder’ > Select ‘Choose Recorder...’ (or Ctrl+R)
3. Choose Recorder dialogue appears > Select the 'Image Recorder' > OK.
4. Click on 'Recorder' > Select 'Copy Disk...' (or icon 'Creates a copy of a disk').
5. New Compilation dialogue appears.
6. Copy Options > Uncheck 'On the fly' > Select your source drive > Select lowest speed available.
7. Image > Click 'Browse' to save your image on the HD > Uncheck 'Delete image file after disk copy'.
8. Burn > 'Write' checked > Click 'Copy', and it starts to burn your game on your HD.

Burning with Nero Burning ROM.

1. Insert blank media. Open Nero Burning ROM.
2. Click on ‘Recorder’ > Select ‘Burn Image’.
3. 'File open' dialogue appears > Select the *.NRG file you created > Click ‘Open’.
