The How-To-Run-Imports Thread - Read the 1st post! (7.10.05)

Could someone please help me.

I have purchased DDR 5th Mix and I would like to patch it so that I will be able to use it on my PS2. Currently, the protection on the CD prevents me from doing anything. I have a flip top, breaker pro, and swap magic. I would avoid purchasing anything else.

I have tried a patch that was available on megagames.com but it was unsucessful. If there is any resource available that is able to help me, I would like to know. I also have this problem with Extra Mix

Hi,

First off, I did read the first post and several pages of this thread. However, I'm somewhat of a newb when it comes to this, so bear with me.

I have a slimline (v12) ps2 and would like to play Extreme JP. According to the first post:

Thanks!
I'm guessing that it will void the warranty, since I noticed a sticker on the back of my ps2. But that's not much of a concern.

I'm looking to purchase a copy of DDR 4th mix, amd I don't have a Japanese Playstation or modchip but obviously I'm willing to invest in one or the other. So while searching around online, I noticed there being different versions of systems and modchips; for example I found a Japanese Playstation 'SCPH-1000', and a 'SCPH-5500'. I don't know how that stuff works..I was wondering if the model numbers/upgrades make a difference with DDR 4th mix and what systems DDR 4th mix would be compatible with.. any info anyone could give is greatly appreciated

And I'm sorry if this was already posted somewhere.. I flipped through a bunch of pages browsing subjects, and I was reading through the import faqs and other threads trying to figure things out, but I didnt find a direct answer..

I installed my fliptop yesterday but I can't get it to work, it just makes an unholy noise like a dying wolverine. It won't boot any games or Swap Magic. Help me please T_T

Are there any slimline PS2 owners here who have tried the fliptop mod? I ask this because I'm wondering about how you install it (I haven't ordered the fliptop, so I don't have instructions or anything). I was looking at the bottom of my PS2 yesterday, and I don't see any screws. Do I have to peel off the rubber feet to get to them? Is putting on the fliptop simple, or will I have to tear apart my PS2 to do it? CorruptZero's post makes me a little nervous.

Hang on. The slimline PS2's already have fliptops, right? I believe for the new units, you need to use some other methods to hold down the switches that detect the lid opening. There may have been some other posts about exactly what to get earlier in the thread, but if you have a slim PS2, I think a fliptop isn't what you need.

[AA Bob]

The fliptop I'm looking at it is for the slim PS2. It's a lid with a smaller circular lid inside it: http://www.consolesource.com/ecomm/customer/product.php?productid=2123&cat=&page=1

After reading a few pages of this thread, I found this: http://www.swapnslide.com/magicswitch.html It looks like an even better way to play import games than the fliptop - no disassembly required, doesn't void your warranty, and it's only 5 bucks. If I use this with the Swap Magic 3.6 disk(s), I will be able to play import games on my PSTwo, correct?

1. Does a American fliptopped PS2 recognize burned copies of Japanese games with Gameshark/Action Replay/whatever?

2. How much do original imported DDR copies sell for these days, as in, the PSX mixes? How much do working copies of the originals sell for?

I was wondering if there was any way so I play Japanese PS1 games on my American PS2. I have a swap magic 3.3 and a slidecard.

[DX Manaic]

No reliable way unless you have a modchip.
