In context: The PlayStation 2 just celebrated its 20th birthday on March 4. Although the console is quite dated, it still has many fun and enjoyable games. Its age also makes it a great candidate for playing and creating homebrew titles, since voiding your warranty is no longer an issue if you mod the hardware.
Modding the PlayStation 2's hardware to play homebrew games and backup discs may be a thing of the past thanks to an exploit found by a security researcher. CTurt created software called FreeDVDBoot that uses the PS2's DVD player as an entry point to bypass disc checks at the software level. No hardware modification is required.
The PlayStation 2 will not load burned game discs, but it will read burned DVDs. CTurt saw this as a potential attack vector and began exploring how the PS2's optical drive plays DVDs. He eventually found that the hardware starts DVD loading by reading the disc's IFO file and writing data to a RAM cache.
Without going into the technical details, which you can read in his blog, CTurt created a corrupted IFO file that generates a 'large read overflow.' Essentially, it loads an ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) file—the type used in homebrew games—into the system's cache, which is then pushed into the main memory by the overflow.
This method completely bypasses the PS2's physical disc copy protection because the system thinks it is preparing a DVD for video playback. It is unique because CTurt claims it is the only exploit that does not use non-native hardware like network adapters, an HDD expansion, or a modchip. It also does not involve physically blocking the disc tray sensors. All that is needed is a disc.
The exploit can be used for a few things. As mentioned, homebrew games and burned backups are possible. CTurt showed a video running a backup of Shadow of the Colossus (above). Another shows the PS2 running a Super Nintendo emulator (below). It is also possible to put multiple games on one disc (providing they are small enough) and run them from a startup menu.
He also says that since all optical drives, including CD and Blu-ray, operate on the same principle, the exploit could potentially work on anything from a first-generation PlayStation through to the PS4.
'There's really no reason this general attack scenario is specific to the PlayStation 2 as all generations support some combination of burned media: from the PlayStation 1's CD support to the PlayStation 3 and 4's Blu-ray support, with the PlayStation 4 having only removed CD support. Hacking the PS4 through Blu-ray BD-J functionality has long been discussed as an idea for an entry point,' wrote CTurt. 'This may be something I would be interested in looking into for a long-term future project.'
While FreeDVDBoot does not have support for all DVD drives used in the PS2 line, he is working on expanding support. Instructions and the required files are posted on GitHub for those interested in trying it out.

I started doing this NOT for piracy reasons. It all started with me getting a corrupted save with Soul Calibur III (something a lot of people experience with that game).
I ended up purchasing a copy of 'Action Replay MAX' to help. It came with a 16 Meg memory card, and software that let my PS2 work with my 128 Meg USB thumb drive.
I found out I could copy save files from my PC to my PS2 memory cards. I then learned about the Memory card exploit.

The exploit cause some sort of error with the PlayStation 2, allowing you to run a program off the memory card. That program was a file manager. It allowed you to install other programs on the memory card.
One of the coolest programs is called 'HD Loader'. It lets you copy games to a hard drive in the PS2 to play from. Game load a LOT quicker from the hard drive than the CD/DVD they originally came on.

With the HD Loader, I ran into issues of space. I learned how to 'shrink' games then. Several games have 'dummy' files on them that take up space on the disc. These dummy files 'push' other files to a different physical location on the CD/DVD, where they are read faster. On a hard drive, they aren't needed.
I had to learn how to copy modified images of games to the HD Loader, since it complained about the game not being on a PS2 disc.

A lot of this was copied from various web forums.
I found lots of info, but ran into problems.
Some things worked, some didn't. I didn't understand why some things worked, and why some things didn't.
As I learned more about what I was doing, I became increasingly frustrated.
I couldn't find tools and programs I wanted. Lots of 404s, down web servers, bad info. Some of the programs were the wrong version.
One of the most frustrating things were the people themselves that I was getting this info from. Some didn't know what they were doing. Some didn't know how to describe what they did. They left out steps, the version of the program they used, download links, and other information that made doing simple things difficult. It also seems like half the people who write information for other people to use don't even have a middle-school level of education. Incredibly poor grammar and spelling made it hard to read what some people were saying.
