Play NTSC U/C on NTSC J PS2

Woo · #1 28-04-2002, 11:34

I have a Japan PS2, with mod chip and AR2. It plays CD-R and Hong Kong Silver DVD Disc with no problem. However, my machine can't play orginal NTSC U/C DVD. What should I do to bypass the check? If I have a DVD-burner, is it possible to patch NTSC U/C games so that I can play on my machine?
I am a newbie so please give me so detail info. Thank you!

There is only one solution for the Jap PS2 to play original US imports. That is the origachip v1.25

So basically there is no way to pacth a NTSC U/C to NTSC J?!

Yes there is, for CD games only and it's complicated. Do you still want to know because I don't want to waste my time explaining if it's DVDs in which you are interested.

It's theoretically possible with DVDs but I don't know about the patching tools if any.

Thanks for your info!
I was reading the forums more yesterday. I found that I can't play orginal but I CAN play backup. So, if I purchase a DVD-R drive and back up the orginal games, I don't have to worry about the U/C or J. Is that true?
If a DVD-R can solve the problem, I think it worths the investment.
Thanks for answering my question.

er.. a decent modchip (i.e. origa) is alot cheaper than a dvd-r.
