I have found out that the dvd drive used in the uk ps2 is the same as any drive found in a laptop. So after finding this i have come up with a way of hooking the drive up to my laptop and ive flashed the bios of the dvd drive. Now ive stuck it back in my ps2 and can play any region i like now, as the region is built into the drive not the onboard software. I am also going to see if it is possible to upgrade the other bits of ps2 like the playstation driver and cd driver and stuff. Maybe even change the main bios (version 30003) to see if this helps in any way to play backups. Anyone Interested in my findings feel free to contact me, or just post here and i will read.
