Only sure way is to buy a Japanese PS2 and not a Mod Chip.

That, keep remodding it or just pass on the games that won't work.

They've been officially announced for North America, so personally I'm just waiting for the domestic versions.

what chip do you have? and i have yet to hear of a ps2 game having modchip lockout. i know the ps1 had it (and the stealth was made to circumvent it) but i was unaware the ps2 had any games that do.

i just called the store to find out what the chip is. He said he doesnt know since he buys ready moded PS2 from his supplier, he said it might me the "M3" chip, but he's not sure. :(

this really blows, i wanted to play Fantasy Zone so bad! :xx:

Just get a damn J-PS2 and all your modchip problems are over forever.

Unless, of course, you are teh Pir4te! Arrrrrrrrr.

Might also be that FZ Ages is a CD and not a DVD. Your PS2 might just be messed up and only playing DVDs, like so many of them are.

the thing is, first time i got my U.S PS2 moded, i had a major problem with PS1 games. PS2(u.s/japanese) would work fine, but the colors on PS1 games was messed up, everything was orange. so i decided to de-chip it.

few months later, i took my PS2 to get it moded again and ran into some more problems, can't remember exactly what happened, but i asked them to remove the chip.

third time(which is my current situation), i bought a moded PS2(new model), everything worked perfectly(PS2 u.s/jap and ps1 u.s/jap) untill i tried playing Fantasy Zone. The game loads up till i get the "PLAYSTATION 2" logo then it goes blank, making you think the game is loading when it's not. :(

wow, froga....you back from the dead? where yah' been buddy! :xx:

:D

anyways, yes FZ is a CD(purple bottom), didnt know that could be a problem
Actually, now that you mentioned it, to boot up PS1 games you need to hold the "ON" button for 3 seconds while turning it on, so maybe that triggers the PS2 to load up CDs(as in PS1)

yeah for cd's you have to disable the chip. same with dvd movies.

That's weird, all my PS2 CD games boot up without me having to hold in the power button like I have to for PS1 games. Sounds like we have the same chip although mine could be a slightly newer version.
