Is it possible to make a PAL PS2 play american games? Like with the use of something like a freeloader as the gamecube does? Or is chipping the only option?

Kinda...
There is a bootdisc, and it works fine. But you have to replace the upper shell of your PS2 with a flip lid.
Not hard, a baby could do it. You just gotta break your warrentee seal ( which is probably void by now anyway ).

I used one for 2 years before getting a modchip. No real problems... DVD9 games such as Xenosaga must be patched to run over 2 normal DVDR's though.Last edited by sj33; 06-03-2005, 19:51.

Is there any kind of boot disc that makes the console region free as well as the dvd function?
*wishful thinking*
Is Swap Magic the only boot disc for playing NTSC games, or are there others, but it's the best...?
Any alternative places I can get it besides divineo.com? Dvdboxoffice doesn't seem to have it.

Swap Magic is really the best boot disc for booting import/backup PS2 games. Breaker Pro is the best for PS1 copies, btw.
They both require the flip top case, there's no way around that really.
The Official Swap Magic website www.swapmagic3.com should have a list of official retailers. Of course, other retailers sell it too, but you might find one closer to home in there.

(or not with PS2?)
That's why the few 60Hz games on the PAL PS2 (Devil May Cry 2, Resi: Dead Aim etc...) have an NTSC mode instead of a 60Hz mode.
