Dumb Question

[GDW]

Will PS2 games purchased in the US work on a UK PS2? I havent a clue about PS2 stuff.

No they won't, unless you have a boot disc of some kind.

 

[Sir Frizz]

Europe/Ausralia = PAL
North America = NTSC (Will not work on European consoles & Vice Versa)

Can't remember what Jap games are, most likely NTSC as well.

Iirc, you can get your PS2 chipped so it allows import games.

The ps2 chip is a bit expensive to have fitted and in all honesty a bit of a bitch to install yourself.

Ono recommended a good place that supplies you with a kit but....

There are something like 24 solder connections to be made on the messiah 2 chip I think. Some of them aren't to pads either but directly onto vias. This means if you shag it you could effectively **** your ps2. If you can afford to I would get someone to do it for you. They can charge somewhere around 60 - 85 quid for it though.

If you can let me know what model PS2 youve got i may be able to supply you with a nosolder chip but youll need an action replay for that. This will cater for the 'chipping' side of things but i think AR's also allow imports aswell.

I've still got my chip sat at home on my desk. I opened up my PS2 and then got really scared and closed it again

the AR chip doesnt like DVD games, the messiah chip is the best if you can get somebody else to fix it in for you.

Useful out here as they're a mixture of NTSC and PAL games
