Newbie ----> play import-games on mod ps2, please help.....

[dr_schnaggelz]

i found some stores in germany which can install the origa. and in some weeks it`ll happen. unfortunately i am short with money in the moment..... :-(

but waiting some weeks is not a big problem.

i have some questions and i hope charlie or anyone else with detailed knowledge can answer me... :-)

1.) my burner isn`t compatible with cdclone :-(
i have nero and cdrwin. i know that cdrwin is needed for games which have to be patched (i think it is the same as
patching ps1 games, isn`t it ?) . but does it also work for 1:1 copies? or does it nero ? or which burner software is
the next best for 1:1 copies ??

2.) copies of ea games, do they really all need a ea-patch ?? or is there another way to boot them ? and is it right that
the origa chip doesn`t need a patch to boot them ?

3.) about the dvd-rip: how does it work ? i think it is like patching a game but what if the game doesn`t fit on a single
cd? i saw a gran turismo 3 dvd rip which was for 2 cds. how do i have to imagine this stuff ? when have the discs to
be changed ??
and then the next question: what`s about an import game on a dvd ? is the dvd-rip an the ntsc-2-pal patch
needed??

so, i hope i haven`t bored anyone and someone can help me.

thanx to everyone who answers and helps me !!!!!
