Easy way to play Japanese PS1 and PS2 games on a US PS2 Slim?

  1. buy a japanese slim ps2
  2. buy a pre-modded NTSC ps2

Sorry yeah that’s really the best option just having another ps2.

The other option for real discs is to set up FreeMcBoot, open your ps2 and tape down the disc door closed buttons, and then use cogswap and swap with a US region disc of the same type (PS1 CD, PS2 CD, DVD single layer, DVD dual layer). It sucks and is super annoying! (I did this for years)

Otherwise you’re burning discs with ESR or using a OPL, which doesn’t even work for PS1 games.
