How do you make an american ps2..., play imported jpn games? Options

[imhyper]

I heard that you can buy a disk that can make an american ps2 play japanese imported games... If this exists i would buy it.

At least its better than buying an expenseve japanese ps2, that JUST plays imports...than you'll have 2- one american, and one japanese(now that's a waste of money )

Is this true?

There are several ways to do this,

A.) Modchip it. which lets you play the games by just putting it in.

B.) There is someother way, and people just call it, "fixing your playstation." They do this in Korea and other countries. I've never seen it or tried it.

C.) get a Jap Ps2, I heard those can play any kind.

D.) Bootdisk. A disk that will let you load the game. Simply put it in, wait for it to load. Then it should say insert disk or something. This can also work with Gamesharks and Action Replays, and Max whatever devices.

E.)Modify your playstations outer casing. AKA the old switcharoo. You have to modify it that so that you can open the disk area, while the disk is spinning and still running. Then when it says, "Playstation 2 or playstation logo", you have to switch the disk. This is hard, You can burn your hand from the revolving disk, break it, mess up your ps2, mess up your import disk by trying to put it into the moving diskloader, etc.

I think thers one more, But i don't remember.
