Nani?! Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Hey guys, I'm new in the Games dept so I hope you guys understand and can help me with the following questions. I just have 3 questions here that I think will be best answered all together so here goes: I have a US version PS2. 1) Will VFX2 work with my system? Is the game backward compatible with a US PS2? 2) How can I get my system modded if that's what I choose to do? 3) How much does it usually cost to get a mod? you guys can pm me if you don't want to post the info. Info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote
bandit29 Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 (edited) A Japanese PS1 game will not work on a a US PS2. I installed a flip top on my PS2. I used a gameshark ps1 disc to boot PS1 imports on a US PS2. A flip top with boot discs(CD and DVD) cost about 30.00 IIRC. Edited April 10, 2004 by dejr8bud Quote
Nani?! Posted April 10, 2004 Author Posted April 10, 2004 thanks for the info~ will I be able to play it with a US PS1? Quote
JB0 Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 thanks for the info~will I be able to play it with a US PS1? Only if it's modded. Console manufacturers love their regional lockouts. Quote
buddhafabio Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 one of those import bootlegs of game shark will work. that is how i get my vfx2 to work(my first psx game) hell i played it on thursday even Quote
Nani?! Posted April 10, 2004 Author Posted April 10, 2004 thanks for the info guys! I'm going try to get me one of those game sharks~ Quote
bandit29 Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 (edited) thanks for the info guys!I'm going try to get me one of those game sharks~ a gameshark disc won't do it alone.You need a modchip or a flip top installed on your PS2. A new boot disc is out for playing import PS1 games on a PS2 as well. Edited April 10, 2004 by dejr8bud Quote
jimbo913 Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 can someone post some links of good places to get these mod kits? www.gameenhancer.com used to be the one I turned to, but they are no longer around. Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 I use the PS2 Action Replay PSX disc to boot the PS1 games. I used to have the PS2 Gameshark PSX disc, but I sold it since I had to sit through a 2 minute Gameshark intro before booting the game. Btw, I use the AR in conjunction with a mod chip. Quote
