Does anyone know any fun PS2 co-op games? The only co-op games I have is Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors.

**Deblas** · Mon, 10-10-2005, 07:00 PM

Okay, so I want to import this PS2 game but they say that I need to get something to get it running on my PS2. I heard different methods like I need to buy a mod chip, slide card, or swap disc. Which one is the easiest or the one you reccommend the most? Also what is the difference between the three?

Get the disk, if you go to playasia you can buy it in a combo pack.

You mean the swap disk? How does it work?

**stos289** · Mon, 10-10-2005, 08:46 PM

A Swap Disk for the PS2 works pretty much like "Freeloader" for the Gamecube, it unlocks the region code and in this case makes burnt games playable. However, what is different from the Gamecube and the PS2 is the way you put in the disc. With the Gamecube, you can just put the Freeloader disk, take it out and then put in the imported game in with no problem. The PS2 however is different. Since it opens and ejects from a tray, there is no way to exchange discs without pressing the eject button and thus allow the swap disk to unlock the region code. This is where the slide card comes into play. What the slide card does is it allows you to exchange the discs manually without having to press the eject button to open the tray, thus allowing you to change the discs without allowing the unlocking process to get interupted.

The difference between using a Slide Card with Swap Disks and a Modchip is that the Slide Card/Swap Disks allow you to play the games without ever opening up the console and breaking the warranty (trust me, from what I've seen, you don't want to open up the PS2. It is pretty hard to put everything back the way it was and not screw it up). So in my opinion, I would go with the Slide Card/Swap Disk method. Although I have never done this process myself (I know all this from reading about it), it seems to be the easiet way to do it.

I used the comparison with the Freeloader disk because I used it for Naruto: GNT 3 (and I'm assuming you have either used/heard about it). My reasoning for "how it works" is a bit lackluster (doesn't really go into the deep mechanics of it), but I believe I got the jist of it. Hope I could help.

i recommend modchip which is what i have, i paid somebody about $50 to install it for me and now my PS2 plays burned games and normal games, no hassle on my behalf, if you know a person somewhere working in a video game store, ask them to do it (dont try doing this yourself)

Hey I'm trying to get my future brother in law a PSP game for Christmas. Can anybody recommend a good sports game?

**ChaosK** · Tue, 12-27-2005, 12:22 AM

**Turkish-S** · Sat, 12-31-2005, 03:22 PM

ok i solved that problem..

**Divinity** · Tue, 01-03-2006, 09:27 PM

Wait.... So if I buy a "FreeLoader" from playasia... I can download GC games, burn them to dvd, and play it on my GC?

**stos289** · Wed, 01-04-2006, 07:41 PM

@Chaoskiddo: You are going to need a USB (Flash) Drive and some kind of special software that lets the PS2 read game saves from the USB Drive. There are a few types that you can use such as Action Replay MAX (Amazon has it cheaper), Action Replay MAX Evo Edition (which is the same thing as Action Replay MAX but comes with its own USB drive) or Codebreaker. Then just follow nWo 4 life's tutorial and you should be able to do it.

@Divinity: No, you either need a modchip or use the network transfer method. For more information on this method, refer to thebroken episode 3 which explains it in full detail.

what the hell are you talking about?
Seriously can you tell me, without shooting up on smack first, what the hell you mean by that question?
Does anyone know what the hell he is talking about?
Have you ever played Final Fantasy 7? Do you know which character Cloud is?

**Zinobi** · Fri, 02-10-2006, 08:53 PM

yeah i know who cloud is. But why does he have a fucking wing? (such as in KH)

**stos289** · Fri, 02-10-2006, 08:59 PM

From Wikipedia:

"In Kingdom Hearts, Cloud appears on the Olympus Coliseum world. He wears a claw and a cloak similar to that of Vincent Valentine and has a black demon wing growing out of his left shoulder (meant to offset Sephiroth's black angel wing growing out of his right shoulder)."

The addition for the wing can be described with a metaphorical meaning, however I think that it was just for show.

ok thanx stos, hmm thought it might have been deeper than that...
