    PS1 games on a chipped PS2 question

    Can you play multi-disc PS1 games (RPGs etc) on a chipped PS2? Just wondering if swapping the discs over might be problematic.

    Cheers in advance.

    On my Messiah 1 PS2 there's no problem with multi disk games.

      Ditto my DMS4 EZI Pro. It'll just treat them like domestic games.

          Some don't. I've a copy of Einhander waiting to go and my chip doesn't like it. Or dual-layer PS2 games (US Space Channel 5 double pack). Or working. So do check.

                  You will have problems with a limited number of latter import PS1 games - those that had mod-chip protection. In the latter days of the PS1, 'stealth mod chips' were developed to combat these games. None of the PS2 chips have this stealth ability (it wasn't deemed a development must-have).

                  What does this mean?... Games such as Guitar Freaks won't play on your chipped PS2, unless you patch them. I know this not because I'm a dirty pirate, but because I'm a massive Guitar Freaks fan and my jap ps1 gave up the ghost a few months back, forcing me to look at the alternatives :-D

                    Partial truth Zipper. Any modchip of the current generation (DMS4, Matrix Infinity, O2, Crystal etc) or the previous generation (DMS3, Magic etc) work completely fine with mod-protected games. The mods that tend to have issues with these games are ealier mods (such as maybe Messiah, though I've not tried).

                        Yeah, DMS3 and 4 claim to be compatable with mod-protected games! Although I havent tried it myself as my DMS3 wont boot ps1 games anymore, I need to check my solders
