So "modding" is changing the system itself in a way for it to play games on it's own, and "swapping" from what I've read is to use a real game and switch them back and forth a few times until it plays the burned game (basically tricking the system?)?
So ultimately, there is no way to have a store brand PS2 and play a copy of my PS1 or PS2 games? I would have to do something to the system in some way to be able to play my games, or I would have to "swap" discs? Modding and swapping are the only two techniques that work? No way to just rip, copy, burn, play?
