Need basic info on pirating PS2 games

[wuushew]

can the various boot CDs like Swap Magic in any way be copied?

If not, would the commercial Swap Magic disk and slider tool cost more than a secondhand copy of X-men 2?

1. Yarr, first ye must be a pirate.

To be a pirate, ye must pass the three trials.

First, ye must master the sword.

Then, the art of thievery.

Then, the quest.

And when ye are done with all three, ye must come back and drink grog with us!

2. Your PS2 has to be chipped in order to read the discs.

3. actually, no they don't

from your link

A copy alternative that's gaining momentum-boot discs. You place these discs in your PS2 console before inserting your backup copy. This method doesn't require cracking open the console case or soldering wires, and so does not void your warranty.
