Simple fact is, slide cards will damage your PS2. So don't bother. |

The easiest solution is to have a TV that supports both PAL and NTSC and let the games run in their native video standard. This ensures playability (And don't give me any lip about you having a PAL PS/PS2. All PlayStations/PS2s are capable of PAL, NTSC, and VGA output). I remember seeing Gameshark codes that fixed the sync for PSone DDRs/DSs, but I don't recall seeing those type of codes for PS2 games. |

I'm sure what I said went over your head.  At least for my setup (HDLoader), if I load a PAL game, my PS2 will output a PAL signal. If I load an NTSC game, then it outputs an NTSC signal, and both are quite playable. And after playing with some PAL->NTSC conversion patches, I'd have to say that it's the MUSIC that starts too early rather than the steps and the videos simply being out of sync.
I hope you realize that the product on that page is NOT a modchip, but simply a slide card bundled with Swap Magic. Slide Cards have been known to damage PS2s as I've stated in an earlier post. |

And everytime I put in DS Fever or DS Fusion, the screen always blinks. So I force an NTSC video fix, and then the blinking stops, but the music is off beat with the arrows. Anybody have any ideas? |

Oh dear oh dear, what YOU said went over MY head huh!?! You've basically repeated what I said happens, I said the music will play at the correct speed, steps will not, you said - | Quote: | I'd have to say that it's the MUSIC that starts too early rather than the steps and the videos simply being out of sync.
|
The music plays at the correct speed, it doesn't start too early, the steps come in late as they are being played slower than they should by the poopy that is PAL, this has nothing to do with TV signals, its the machine used to play the game.
Believe me I know what I'm talking about about I've been importing for a looooooong time.

sorry if this was asked before but how do you get gamesharks to work for japanese games? I don't know how to get it to work for me. I wanna use codes for DDR Extreme Japan really badly. so how do you get the gameshark codes to work and when exactly do you put in the gameshark, swap magic disk, and the actual game itself? i have a fliptop BTW.

Your screen blinks because your PStwo is outputting in PAL instead of NTSC, mmkay? And when you enable the video fix, the steps/music are off because you're forcing the game to use a standard that it wasn't designed for. My suggestion is to either use a gameshark or similar device and enable sync fixes (If you can find them), otherwise get a TV that supports PAL -and- NTSC or get a capture card for your PC. |

Have more people tried the PSTwo fix?
I have a new slimline ps2 and am wondering if it may be the best way to play imports. I would like more responses about people using it. |

The PStwo fix is not a modchip, it just protects the system from certain causes of death known in the slim ps2s.

I know the PSTwo fix isn't a mod chip.
Acorrding to http://www.console.com/product_info.php/cPath/21/products_id/92
you use it to play imports similar to the old fliptops, or playing imports on PS One. So has anyone tried it? It looks like the easiest way to play imports on the slim ps2's and protects the warranty. I would like to know soon. |

| Since Play Asia is always out of stock on DDRMax 1 and 2 imports I was looking into purching them from Japan Video Games - www.japanvideogames.com . I was just wondering your opinions on them. Seeing as I never got my fliptop from the site that was origionally listed on the first page. I did however get a HD loader and a Fliptop from consoulesource and they worked just fine. And didn't rip me off. I know from experence Play Asia is a good place to buy. And after the incident with ps2fliptop.com or whatever it was called I feel it is safer to ask before I buy anything. |

If sticking in the GS, selecting codes, and then inserting EXTREME JP CS doesn't work, then stick in the GS, select codes, then insert the Swap Magic disc, and then the EXTREME disc. |

My bad superstar player, I thought you were referring to the board you solder into your PStwo's motherboard to stop crashing.
Yeah, that will work with swap discs.
