Interesting question.

I'm trying to get this info from a few people.

I dont have any import games, so a chip to play backup/imports does not bother me too much, however I do have quite a few region 1 DVDs which the UK ps2 won't play.

So there are two issues here, mod chip for games and mod chip for DVDs (or do they use the same chip?)

from what I've seen so far, no one has managed to chip the PS2 for DVD, and I'm not sure they have done it for games yet either.

If I get anymore info I'll let you know.

Have a look here:

 

Hello

Has anyone had one of these fitted to their PS2?

I don't really want to buy a PS2 until I can play all games ...

Thanks.

Steve.

 

The Mod chip for the PS1 will not work on the PS2 as the boards are different.

It is not impossible that someone will bring out some form of software/hardware hack for it.

 

There are currently two types of modchip for the psx2.

one has 8 wires which just works on psx2 games only.

and an 11 wire one that works on psx2 and psx1 games.

there is not one to do dvd YET.
