A slide card and Swap Magic if you don't want to go down the route of having the PS2 chipped. That's about it really. Unless you find a developer/Yaroze model.

there's no Yaroze for PS2.
what you need is PS2Test which lacks the media and region checking plus no DVD playback...

should set you back around $300+ if you find one in wild... or know someone...

PS2Test

Where can i get a PS2Test from?

Better off buying a cheap modded PS2. Or finding someone/somewhere that will mod it for you. Problem is the cost, you may be able to get a Japanese PS2 for cheaper...

Slide Card/Swap Magic will work however, if the game is not on a DVD9. The chip solutions are generally far better however.

i have a pal psone i recently bought because my modded jap ps2 cant play pal psone games properly. i was wondering if someone could tell me what sort of import methods are available for it?

[dj898]

there's boot disc for PS1 with spring...
otherwise stealth mod chip will do nicely...

hard to say... eBay would be obvious choice but will cost way more... you just need to know someone who know somebody with the access to those sort of dev hardwares... with closure of A* there are more dev stuff in the wild than before...

anyone know where i can get one of these discs?
