boardbaka 3 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Sorry if this has been done before (did a search but could'nt see anything) I recently bought an american version of PS2 and I want to get that chip that enables it to be multi region dvd/ japanese game compatible. Went to Akihabara where I thought I would have no worries at all- but alas there were worries and search proved fruitless. Anyone with any experience..where to go , get?

1 4 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 It's easier the other way round boadbaka - ie, converting a Japanese PS2 to use US games. Not sure, have you tried places like gdex.co.jp? Link to post Share on other sites
ghostjga 0 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I got mine done in Malaysia... Don't think they having it displayed openly in shops, since 'mod'ding your PS2 will allow the systems to run pirated games as well. Also, since you gotta pry your PS2 open to mod it, it voids the warranty. Try the internet, that's your best bet I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
boardbaka 3 Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 thanks for the input 1 and ghost- will let you know how I go later on this thread. I bought it off some geezer advertising in metropolis magazine- Foolishly didn't do any research to the meaning of an "american version"- thanks again BB Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Yeah board..just google it...shouldnt be too difficult to get it done. Check out this site for modding NZ modding plus if you check out the NZ Trademe website there are lots of listings for modchips there..most of them will require installing it yourself, but I think that website gives you the option of letting them install it Link to post Share on other sites
boardbaka 3 Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Kia Ora MB- thanks for that great site- Heard you can get them done in Hong Kong easily- A couple of Indian guys said their used to people who did it cowboy style on the back streets of Akiharbara but a big police bust sent them packing (You'd think the police would have better things ro do with their time!) Take it easy rgds BB Link to post Share on other sites
