That was it!! Of course, X and O are swapped; I was pressing cancel the whole time and wasn't even thinking about it. Thank you so extremely very much!

Ok everyone! I have all my DDR ps2 imports working with a swap disc. Its swap disc 3.0 and I have both the DVD disc and CD disc. Now I want to be able to play DDR 2nd remix, Dance Dance Revolution, and DDR 2nd appended remix. How do I do this? Do I need a PSx-change disc? Will it work with all the DDRs for PSx?

Edit: And I have an orginal playstation, one of the first ones ever made (got it the christmas it came out). I have somewhere an orginal gameshark for it, but I'm not sure if I will be able to find it. Will I be able to use the psx for anything? I'd much rather be able to play the ps imports on my ps2.

Using a PSX to play your PS1 imorts is the best way to go. Use gameshark and insert in all the codes for the game. then to change to your append. 1)Flip out DDr 2nd ReMIX at disc change screen and put a USA PS1 game in. 2)Lift spring up and put it back in the hole. 3)Flip out USA disc with append. Note: This trick really only works with the very first playstations.

I got a question!

I ordered my fliptop like, 3 weeks ago with the speed shipping. I thought that it would come in a week or so. And it didn't. So i sent ps2covers.com an e-mail asking when I was going to get it. They told me I would get it 7-14 days after shipping. Which was the day after I ordered it. After a week, they called my dad (I'm only 14) and told him I would get it YESTERDAY! I still didn't get it. My question: How long did it take for you people to get your fliptops? I'm getting really mad!

Shipping isn't the problem. It's the delivery. My order shipped like, 2 weeks ago. And the thing is, I don't want to cancel the order because it would suck to cancel the order and then realize it would have come in like, two more days. Also, I think you were over exagurating the 100ish days a little. Yes I know that it was spelled wrong. It's just really late at night and I'm semi concious.

Crap. You guys are right. I'll buy one from consolesource.com. How long do they take to deliver the fliptop? And how do I cancel an order? (I'm really stupid and I really want to get my fliptop like, in 5 days or something.)

Make sure you are using the DVD bootdisc. You don't need to change the region to NTSC, just keep it on normal. It could take a couple of tries to work. Is it an original import or a bootleg?

It's an origonal import. And yes I am using the DVD disk. One more thing, do i have to keep reseting the ps2 if it doesn't work? And when exactly do I have to switch the disks?

YEs restart ur PS2 with the bootdisc every time it fails. When it gets to the main boot screen the disc should stop spinning. Open up ur fliptop swap out discs and hit X. It should load every time.

One more question. My import disk won't work anymore. It worked perfectly yesterday! I am doing the same exact thing that I did yesterday! It won't work! It keeps saying not a valid PS2 disk again! have tried it like, 20 times. What's wrong with my DDR Extreme? Is it the Disk or the swap magic or the fliptop or all three?

EDIT: Nevermind, It's working again.

Alright, so I have a slim ps2 and went with fliptop for it. Problem is, I've installed the switches (bought if off of ps2fliptop.net), but now, I'm not even getting my NTSC-U/C stuff to run. :-( I don't kow what to do. The laser/spinning mechanism seems to make more noise now than before.

Hey, I have an original playstation 1 with an ACTION REPLAY DEVICE(similar to gameshark) and it loads DDR 3rd Mix just fine, however it brings up a "Software Terminated - console may have been modified" message when I try to load the 5th mix and when I try DDR Disney Rave. I've searched around and have found codes, however they're for DDR 1st mix. Where can I find the codes for the 5th mix and Disney's Rave mix? And could you tell me how to load them? I just got the PS1 today and I'm kind of new to all this. Thanks!

Here's the codes I could find to circumvent the anti-mod protection.

Please tell me if there are better ways to run these imports.
