Question concerning game and console compatibility with fmcb

Hello,

I would just like to know if after installing the fmcb I would be able to play the games from NTSC/U region if i bought a region coded 5(Korea) ps2.
I'm asking because my ps2 broke, I'm in Korea right now and region 1 ps2 are hard to find not to mention expensive, so I wanted to buy a korean ps2.
The US region games are legit which is making me wonder if they will run or if I have to make backups of them to be able to play.

PS. I know that fmcb installation made on an american ps2 won't work on a korean one so i will make it once I am sure if the games run without any problems.

You will be able to play your us games, but only as backups. There is one other solution : you can use swap magic (easier if you buy a slim ps2).

Ah, I see thanks for the reply. Then I'd better go buy some blank dvd's, at least I can play them so no big loss
