If you have the old PS2, it might be a bit harder, and they are a bit flimsy around there, I have never tried it on one of the old models, and am not entirely sure how well it would work, but supposedly ejecting the cd bay would not make the system aware that you had done so, because the switch still told the system it was closed. Cardboard is good for jamming them down, tape it in place and the casing will hold the card on the switch when you put the console back together. What you need to do, after opening it is locate the tiny switches that the door to the CD Drive pushes down when it is shut, you need to jam these down so they can't lift up again, meaning that the system won't know if the door is open, it will always think it is shut - and thus the disc will always turn.


That aside, You will have to open the PlayStation, this depends on what model you have, If it's a PS1 or slimline PS2, it is much easier. Nor am I going to be held responsible if this goes wrong. OK, Seeing as you are using what would be considered a backup, that's all I am going to encourage you to play with this method, if playing pirates is something you would choose to do, I do not endorse such things and am not responsible.
