A while back a couple of programs came out that allowed people to burn emulators and roms onto a CD and play them on a dreamcast. Does anyone know of a similar program that would allow the same on PS2?

you aren't gonna be able to play anything on your PS2 without a mod.
one of the main reasons the DC failed was because it failed to implement any kind of serious anti-piracy measures. That's why you could just burn a cd and have it work on the DC. God bless the Dreamcast, greatest system of all time. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

I have over 300 games for the DC. If they removed the serial port, then they would of been golden.

not even that -- there was no piracy prevention. Sega thought that a "GD-ROM" -- that is, a CD that's read from the outside-in, as opposed to inside-out, would be all that they needed, and that nobody would be able to read them any other way...
and especially not burning them! -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

Chuck's was a 1.6 and it was easy enough, just needed a slightly different bios.
They ripped the dreamcast games through the serial port (and later through the network expansion). Other than that, it is pretty rare to find something that can read a gd-rom because the control for that is hardware bounded and not software. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

i read that about halfway through their "DC ripping career" that echelon actually wrote their own firmware for some CD drive so they didn't need to do the serial port dealibob anymore.
but yeah, sticking a serial port on anything is a bad idea. PS: The Wii DVD drive has a serial port on it (undocumented and just the contacts, but it's there) -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.
