GC and PS2 Burnt Backup Playing?

AldarOP
#1
Can i just go pickup an old Action Replay for my PS2 and/or Gamecube and have it be able to play backed up games or is there more to it than that?
If not then what else would i need to do/get to have it working?Help is appreciated, thanks.

For PS2, you will need an OLD GameShark or Swap Magic discs,but you will need something to switch the disc without the PS2 knowing the tray was opened.
You can use slider tools or a flip-top lid.
I bought mine here - http://www.modchip.ca/store/home.php?cat=269
That's all of their swap magic stuff, but look on their sites for a combo of a flip-top and SwapMagic discs, that's the combo I bought.For GC, you'll most likely need a mod-chip. I'm not sure on the swap disc method. :PBut you can play them on a Wii if you have one and don't mind messing with the OS. :) - http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=35411

Don't have a Wii, and i have a SlimPS2.
I Watched a video on Youtube about how to mask off the 3 triggers on the SlimPS2 so SwapDisc would work, but honestly i don't want to pay that much for it. I Do have an old Gameshark card/disc, but i don't think it works anymore.
Is there an easier hardware way to do this with a PS2Slim? I Liked the HDDloader stuff you can do with the big PS2 and i even have the network adapter needed, but again.. no FatPS2 anymore.
I Am more wanting to get this working on my GC, i have seen something about memory card adapters, even some with MicroSD slots on them, but i don't know much else.

hYpNoSThere are 2 ways to boot backup games on a gamecube, there is a modchip method, but it's advised to get a professional to "chip" it, because not only does the chip need to be soldered to the mother board, but the laser needs to be adjusted as the gamecube can't read dvd made disc and the gamecube uses optical media of it's own which you can't buy in shops (though it can read dvd's once the laser POT is adjustedThe other method requires a gamecube broadband adapter, a copy of phantast star online (NON PLUS VERSION) and a CAT 5 cable to stream the data to the gamecubeproblem is, it must be the real copy of the game, and the cable be connected to your pc as the iso data will be streamed from that, and a program to run it all, the process is complicated and sadly the game lags because of the streaming speed of 10mbsThere is a 3rd option, there is indeed a swap disc method for the gamecube, or technically booting a bit of data from a special memory card device to the console, sadly I do not remember the nameBest bet is to find a local mod shop, and get them to do the job, make sure they test it while you watch to make sure the games boot, not all gamecubes use the same POT adjustment

Ask around, or find a professional solderer guy.
