Some very interesting progress in the PS2 scene right now. Recently the MechaCon was dumped and it appears as if an exploit has materialised named MechaPwn.
There are some model limitations but it should allow you to boot all regions of retail discs without a modchip. Not 100% how backups are treated, but I definitely saw a YouTuber booting a PS1 backup using this method.
The limitations appear to be:

The limitations appear to be:
- No consoles before 5000X (10000/15000/18000/3000X/3500X/3900X)
- For 5000X and 7000X Japanese and PAL machines you won't be able to boot games from other regions due to enforced strict logo decryption.
