original imports do NOT work.

DVD rips will work as long as they are 640mb or less.

American v5 PS2 owners are screwed at the moment. I do not recommend any chips by NEO,(yes they work but they suck), Origa isnt compatable yet so that doesnt leave alot of alternatives. Sad to say this is the only mod that doesnt damage the PS2 laser so its probally the best mod for this console at this time provided you have a dvd burner. Hopefully in the near future our british friends will release a messiah or a(clone) that is compatable with this console. Until then we will have to be patient
