How to Mod a PS2 to Play Imported Games
The Sony PlayStation 2 is a next-generation home video game console. Sony released it with region restrictions, which means a North American PS2 cannot play Japanese region games and vice versa. There is a quick mod that you can do to any PS2 to allow it to play import games. HDLoader is the only PS2 program that installs games, imports and all, onto the PS2 hard drive. They then can be played from the HDD.
