DVD region X HELP

**krelian99** · 11-13-2002,11:13 AM

Hello everyone

First sorry for my english....I'm just learning

I've got a jap PS2 v7 and a lot of region 1 movies.
Which is the best way to make my console Region free ??

Do you know if DVD Region X or AR2 by Datel will run RCE protected Region 1 DVD ?? I've a lot of 'em

Thanks a lot

Yes - you need the Jap version of DVDRX or AR2 and it needs the v7 drivers. Then you can play Region 1 NTSC movies.

Thanks for answering

I heard Region X can boot RCE protected DVD but AR2 doesn't. Is that true?
Do u know where can I get codes for v7 console?

I red somewhere in this forum you're selling messiah 2. I'm leaving in uk now. How can I contact you?

Thanks again and sorry for all these questions but I've still a lot to understand about.
Bye

I don't know if they've updated DVD Region X in a while, but you can get a AR2v2 made for your PS2 either from Datel directly or a Japanese local supplier. http://www.karat-jp.com

They're a partner of Datel and have localized the AR2v2 for the local market. The one from Datel, you can purchase from Lik-sang (as I did), but their rep isn't so clean these days, so buyer beware.

Maybe you can help me, Da Brass. I want to play DVDs from other regions on my US V7 PS2. DVD Region-X, GS2, AR2? Which is the way for me? Check the thread for more info. Help

Well, the only way to get around this is to get an AR2v2 and pray it has the most up to date codes to support your DVD Drivers. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Datel has been updating their site with the upgrade codes for the Region X.

If you can find upgrade codes, all the better...but for right now, they're not available. You could try e-mailing Datel to see if they have any upgrade codes, then take your pick of the DVDRX or AR2V2, or GS2

Thanks a lot Da Brass

About RCE DVD protected: I know for sure now Region X can boot'em.

Anybody know if AR2 does it as well ????
Almost all my dvds have that kind of protection so I want to be sure.

Anyway thanks

Do u know any other site where purchase AR2 codes?

I'd like to be wrong but I know that US PS2 cannot boot Pal dvd for hardware limitations. You can only play us or jap movies or however only ntsc dvd
