#PS2 #Softmodded #Mod #MechaPwn #Playstation2 #Playstation #RegionFree
Things you will need before starting
1. Free McBoot
2. USB pen drive with MechaPwn on it
3. PS2 with model number SCPH-50xxx or above.
MechaPwn can be downloaded from - github.com/Mec...
SCPH-500xx model systems enable running of all region PS1 and PS2 discs if you have a NTSC-U (USA) or ASIA (not NTSC-J) unit specifically. NTSC-J (Japan) units will only be able to play NTSC-U and NTSC-J discs PS2 discs. NTSC-J and PAL (Europe) units also will still only be able to play PS1 games of their specified region.
These confusing per-region discrepancies go away if you’re fortunate enough to have a PS2 with model number SCPH-7500x or above. With these models, the MechaPwn exploit enables the same features on all region systems. Basically, any region PS2 will be able to play any region PS2 or PS1 retail disc.

I speak from ignorance because I am still researching this mod, but it seems that your television does not support 60hz (a PAL 50hz TV). As I have read somewhere, when you change the region of your console to the USA it is also changed even within PAL games, and most TVs that do not support NTSC show the image in black and white or directly a broken image. As I said, take this information with a grain of salt, but you should try that console on a television that supports 60hz to confirm that this is the problem

Could this also make the PS2 a region free DVD player?

@tootyuk Год назад

possibly but i think it would just switch the region to that of the chosen region, not unlock it, although im pretty sure via freemcboot there must be a tool to play any region dvd?

Wow, really want to try this. I always thought it was a shame how many ps2 games were never released in PAL regions. Any recommendations on where to get free mcboot?

@tootyuk 2 года назад

Hi mate, for some reason YT removed your last comment? it can play ps1 gold discs and ps2 gold discs (but they need to be burnt a certain way) tbh no one in this day and age is really after gold discs, its more for people who want to collect import titles so it will play all retail region games. Free mcboot off ebay mate for like £6 a card i think

Hey there, I've tried to do this soft mod to play a USA game on my UK 70xxx model PS2. I've got FMCB, got MechaPWN on my USB stick and followed your instructions to change the region of my console to USA DTX. Tried the game and the disc is spinning, but I'm just getting a black screen. Any advice on where I've gone wrong? I'm a total thicko so I've probably missed something! Thanks!

@user-bf3tp5gj8m Год назад

Added update, I changed back to PAL CEX and my console now won't play any of my PAL games either. Have I broken it? 😭

Hei, I'm obviosly late to the party, but I did this on my own machine. Me, coming from "Europe" did the same hack as you did. But now I have issues playing PS1 pal games. It seems it is stuck in NTSC-mode. This means that my PAL games are lacking the lower part of the screen. How did you go about this? I am using a Scart/HDMI-converter which has the options to change both screen resolution (?) and PAL/NTSC, but when I try the switch, it is locked to NTSC, meaning I can't force it to the right ratio. Do you have any tips?

@tootyuk Год назад

Hi, i set mine to a USA model and it plays fine, have you tried removing the scart/hdmi adaptor? i was just going direct via scart or composite, i dont think the res has much of an effect with PS2 as it used to with PS1 etc you could get a component cable which would remove the analogue issue altogether

@Carnophage Год назад

@@tootyuk thanks for answering. You see I only have a HDMI-tv, so I need it. I did have another low price piece of ____ , but it somehow stopped working. The official "guide" tells us to switch to DEX and use our own region, but you (aswell as I) changed to a US DEX -- What is the reason?
