the origa can play original imports, cdr and dvd-r with a region x or AR2 with a single swap. all of them are booted the same way as the CDRs.
www.origachip.com has all the info you need.
if you want to be sure of what chip you got, open the bottom part of the case and look at the chip. if it's a long 28 pin chip with a brownish 3 pin thingy attached, it's definately the origa.

also, the origa is the best chip for jap models already. the USB mod is crap, no imports, no dvd-r.

Arakon,
One last question. You mentioned that I can use a AR2 disk to do a single swap boot, can the AR2 image file I download from http://lanvo_1.tripod.com/quang/id5.html be used for this single swap trick. Also I've heard that I can use GameShark to do this same swap trick...is this right?
