also can anyone tell me if there's a way of playing backup dvds games without having to buy an original dvd with a large TOC???
is there also a way of playing all regions dvds on this machine???

ANSWER: Get a fully loaded SCART lead for PS2 (like BLAZE from HMV) - to RGB spec - preferaby the one with the switch between movie and game. That'll sort the problem out. Or an NTSC-PAL convertor from Maplins (which I used tohave until I hooked up to a widescreen TV which accepted NTSC through the AV sockets).

ANSWER: Depends on your modchip. If it's a 1.25 OrigaChip, you can boot DVD-Rs with DVD Region X.

is there also a way of playing all regions dvds on this machine???
ANSWER: With DVD Region X, but it won't play PAL DVD movies.
