Does anyone know what would happen if i tried to play a backup game over the internet without patching it and does anyone know if i can play onling with a modchip installed?
Thanks,

you should of used the search button, but oh well.

Yes you can play online with a modchip, just make sure you disable it once you've loaded the game. If you do not patch the game you could end up being banned, so I would not advice this.

Get a modchip (Matrix Infinity)
Backup your game and patch it.
Play game
Disable modchip
Go online

Simple

i have a version 4 PS2 and a Messiah modchip, is there are way to disable the messiah modchip?

I dont know it off by heart, so go to the Messiah website all details can be found their. Same with all modchips....

what happens if you dont disable it?

either wont let you online, or they will ban you.

Hmmm, missinformation.

• If your game is not patched -> DNAS error -402
• If you're playing original games with your modchip turned on -> DNAS error -402
• If you're playing a patched backup with the wrong ID -> DNAS error -864
• If you're playing a game from another region ie. PAL game on NTSC console or vice versa -> DNAS error -833

So no ban just the errors. The modchip doesn't have to be turned off with a patched backup, only with original games.
