Someone told me that a "regular" boot CD would allow me to play imports on my PSTwo as long as I have the "Disc Closed" censor taped down...
Wtf did he mean by "regular"?
Would a gameshark/action replay do?
Sounds like any boot disc would do. The PS2 had the habit of checking the legitimacy of discs every time you hit the eject button. The new design is far more conducive to import gaming (and it's soooooo cute :P ).
Thanks for that! =)
Anyone else have an opinion?
Yeah, that's probably true. I haven't tried that on my PSTwo yet but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. One warning I can give you is be VERY careful if you go down the modchip route for this system. I broke 3 of them when I did a 100% perfect installation. The chips appearently send an excess voltage to the lens IC (which is typical Sony crap) and burns out. Only the newst modchips work...but stay away from the DMS ones. They say they work but they don't X_x
From what I hear, the "fried laser IC" problem was only occurring with some fairly new model (v12?) of the PS2. My Silver one was one of these.
My Friendly Local Gaming Store broke, according to the guy who runs it, about fifty PS2s that way, which they'll obviously have to replace from their own money. Ouch. :(
So wait- If I were to tape down the door sensor, just about any boot disc on the planet would work? Even a PS1 boot disc?
I'd also like a list of boot discs that work with PSTwo and those that don't.
I'm getting a PSTwo once I can find an affordable one, and I have some Jap PS2 games, that I've been itching to play (just had to get them for the sake of collecting. :P)
Bump
Import PStwo anyone? :unsure:
