PLAYING DVD RIPS > 650 MB ON JAP PS2

I am pleased to report that this works and I'll explain below. In this case I used GADGET RACERS = 693MB.

1 ORIGACHIP (JAP)

a) Boot with DVD Region X (PAL)
b) When you get the region number choice, put in the DVD rip CD
c) Press START on the controller and off you go

This trick won't work if you use Memory Manager 32 as your boot disk. I haven't tried AR2 as I don't use it.

As a matter of interest this also worked when I booted the backup DVDRX-Jap behind original DVDRX-PAL and then the DVD rip CD behind that!


2 UTILITY DISK SWAP

a) Download a RAR of DVD Region X-Jap from a link on

b) You also need the SCV file but not the NFO (Don't download the NFO)

c) Use WINRAR to unpack the DVDRX-JAP. You'll think the PC has hung but it hasn't.

d) Use ASAPatcher (or Universal Patcher) on the BIN file to enable Utility Disk swap

e) Use CDRWin to burn the patched BIN file back to CD-R

f) Boot with Utility Disk and when the tray comes out swap in DVDRX-Jap made at step (e).

g) Then as per 1(b) and 1(c) above.

Good eh?
