gameshark play muti regin dvds?

average_guy · July 17th, 2002

I live in canada, the ps2 i own is also bought in canada. Today i got few dvd movies from hongkong, they don't work on my ps2 so i tried using gameshark's "regin" seletor and sellct regin 3 (hong kong) and still won't play. DOES GAMESHARK'S REGIN THING WORKS OR NOT? (gameshark 2.0)

u mean region x? i think i have that

Ps2 cannot playback DVDs which immediately playbvack the film (only DVD's which go to a menu can be played back). It maybe the case that these disks aren't supported.

Also I don't know if that device supports the new RCE disks (these check for multiregion players and refuse to run if they find one), however I've yet to come accross an RCE disk that wasn't region 1.

my ntsc ps2 cant play dvd from hongkong even with gameshark 2.0, have read in other forums that they use an old ps1 controller to play this dvd from other regions bt i lost the link after my seagate drive went bad, i will try to dig my old pc if it still has the lnk.

edit: cant find the link

RCE disks are new region encoded disks which don't like being used in multi region players.

Well the first one was the Patriot, its detection is a bit naff and doesn't always work. Another one would be final fantasy (which tricks the player into thinking its a region 8 disk, btw region 8 = in flight movie

)

RCE disk can now be played using multimod technology

Which I happen to have in my player

you saying ps2 can't play muti region. can normal dvd player play muti region? and computer dvd-rom drives? (dvd-rom doesn't check for region code)

**Betamax** · July 20th, 2002

No that's not what I'm saying. If you have a regionX then it will be multiregion. However the ps2 cannot playback DVDs without an intro menu, even if its a single region.

Normal DVD players are single region. Multiregions are available from specialist suppliers.

As for DVD-rom you are mistaken. Most modern pcs has 3 region locks to bypass:

Older (RPC-1) DVD-Roms are multiregion however all new drives are single region (RPC-2). However you can flash hacked RPC-1 firmware onto these to make them multiregion.

On top of this windows has had region encoding from 98 onwards. In the FE its easily removed (delete 1 regestry key). In SE and Me its a real bastard to remove. However 2K and XP use the same are FE (all the more reason to ditch ME).

Finally your player software has region encoding. This can be disabled using DVD Genie.
