mikeszekely Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Anyone know if those PSX thingies still have the territorial lockouts? As it stands now, I'm considering to buy a Japanese PS2. That way I have a no-fuss solution for playing VF-X, VF-X2, DYRL, and Rockman Battle and Chase (and Super Adventure Rockman, if I can ever get my paws on it!), as well as the new Macross game, the Generation 1 Transformers game, and AEUG vs. Titans if it doesn't see a US release (although, looking at Bandai's track record lately, it will). On the other hand, if PS2's drop in price to $99.99 like the rumors are saying, I'll be able to get a used one for like $55 with my employee discount... I could just do that, and mess around with mod chips or slide cards and figure that if I break it, so what? For $55 bucks, it was worth a try.

ChristopherB Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Abombz!!, No problem, it's cool, I'm just trying to help, because I also want to be able to play this game. I just hope that it plays as wells as it looks. As of right now, it looks like the "Slide Card" method is the easiest and least expensive, plus you can return your PS2 to stock condition whenever you want.

Gaijin Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 They sell the slide card, but don't mention it on that chart...just the mod chips. And Treasure Island Sports is still cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 You forgot the most common optionL having a Japanese PS2 That's how I plan on playing the game. Though it's kind of a shame. I wasted all my money on buying Encounters in Space and have none left over for the Macross game Well, Christmas is coming up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfxraven19 Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 How will you play the new macross PS2 game? v5 US PS2 w/ a Messiah2 PRO chip... no-swap for me... , I used to have a Swap Magic bootdisc and an older PS2, but wore out my PS2 quick.

evirus Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Well I'm going to take a look at those boot disks, if they work, I'll be using those.On a note about modchips, I've heard that now if you want to go online there's stuff out there that will scan your system to see if it's modded or not. Though I don't know what will happen if it detects that your system is modded... thats only for x-box live i think, that and it only detects it if its on most mod chips now come with on/off switches that can be attached to the front if its off its not detectable by the program. mod chips are like hijackers, they hijack electrons going to the original bios storage device so it rerouits to the bios stored on the modchip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
