Yah just get action replay.

I actually HAVE a copy of the Japanese NitM and it's NTSC. Do you really need to have something else to play that on an American Saturn?

The Saturn just needs a special ram card in order to play/save imports.

Yup that's why I love sega, so easy to mod their consoles.

Saturn NitM is NTSC-J, in North America games are coded NTSC-U/C, get the Action Replay and enjoy the game.

As for the PS 2 Haunted Castle Hamster port, mod chip (look for those on your own) or disc swap (requires messing up the PS's disc drive door, risky but I hear it works).

the ps2 slim version isn't risky at all. just the fat one since you have to drag the tray out to replace the dvd.

That works? Isn't it a disk though? Can you tell me how it works? And is any of this a long, dangerous, annoying proccess?

On a side note, I just got the PoR pre-order items today in the mail(yay!). I'm listening to the CD right now.

[Long John Silver]

not sure about the fat one, but for the slim model you have to first get swap magic + magic keys, then use the said keys (which are just few pieces of specially modeled plastic) to cover the sensors in the ps2 which detect whether the lid is open or not. there are 3 of those.

once covered boot the ps2 using swap magic dvd without closing the lid (with the magic keys the sensors won't notice the lid is open and will allow you to run stuff with open lid, thus allowing to swap the dvd later), then once the booting is done and you're in swap magic's menu the dvd will stop spinning. swap it now with your game, then press start game in the menu to play. you can now close the lid.

Just make sure not to lose those little pieces. They're tiny.

I think the old ps2 can play copies plus imports through the use of a slide tool and a special disc.

[CVfan13]

Oh lord. I have an old, fat PS2. And would I have to go through that process each time I wanted to play the game? Well, actually, considering that it's Haunted Castle, that probably wouldn't be too often.    Just would like to own it to eventually complete a collection.

Hey, le052383, what do you know about the things you mentioned for the onld PS2 model?

Well, I was goin to get a slide tool a year ago for my old ps2 since the slide tool works for old bulky ps2.  However, I have forgotten to get one after getting a ps3.  With that said, I did some research on it, but I have forgotten much about it.

However, here is a tutorial I found on youtube where some dude shows how to play imports and copies with his fat ps2:

I also checked on the net to find a slide tool for your ps2 and came across this page:


http://www.keepgaming.com/nxp2r-007.html

Accordin to the url above, this version of the slide tool works for the old ones and in case you aren't sure, please check your model with the ones listed on that page.



That url also has another link for the silm ps2 model silde tool for those who has the silm ps2 systems

you don't need a slide tool, you just have to flip the tray lock switch to let you pull out the tray when the ps2 is running w/out pushing the button. You can use any kind of tool like a paperclip to just push the switch over. All's I have to do is just boot up my ps2 w/ nothing in it, flip the switch pull the tray open pop in my foreign game, close tray  and hit the cd icon that pops up.

So I need a Japanese import TurboGrafx-16 to play Rondo, If I can even find that?

You don't need a Japanese one in particular.  Rondo is a disc game, and the PCE/TG16 doesn't region-discriminate on those.
