PS2 NTSC games in UK...

**Persian_McLovin** · 05-08-2011,03:05 PM

Hey everyone. I have just bought a 60gb PS3 NTSC console as I could no longer bare my PAL 60gb's PS2 emulation...20fps for Tekken Tag, really Sony?

Anyways, I'm now looking into building a PS2 NTSC game collection but I'm in London! Apart from the obvious (ebay, amazon etc) does anyone know any good websites based in the UK or even stores in London where I can get some imports?

Thanks for any advice.

Peace.

Haven't used it myself but I've heard nothing but good things about play-asia.com. Not sure if you're after PS2 games (with you posting in the PS2 section) or PS3, but they sell games from all regions

Regards

Cheers...yeah I'm looking to obtain NTSC PS2 games (US) that's why I posted here! lol.

Play-Asia is good but some of the games I want they don't have like Tekken Tag and even Tekken 5 wtf...

I've got a BC PAL PS3 and a BC NTSC PS2.

Personally I ordered an NTSC version of Swapmagic, dumped all my PAL games to an external HDD and play them on my NTSC PS3 that way. Made it a lot easier than trying to replace all of my PAL games for NTSC versions.

Cheers for the advice bro. lol you're just like me, I had a PAL swap magic 3 ordered from discoazul.com and checked them out last night and they have JAP and NTSC-US versions of SM 3.6 as well so I'll probably go that route.

Only thing is the emulation of USB 1.1 which makes watching intro movies and cutscenes painful. I've heard that streaming via a laptop/PC with Open PS2 Loader makes this problem go away, have you tried this mate?

Cheers.

I haven't tried that yet. It's next on my to-do list.

I've just been running all my games off a 250GB external HDD... was the main hard drive out of my g/f's PC before we put an SSD in there. Haven't had any major problems thus far. The main thing seems to be making sure that you have the hard drive defragged.

Wow awesome. So when you see intros etc you don't see any stuttering? If so I gotta try this.

Haven't tried it for a few months, but FF10, DMC and MGS2/MGS3 all worked fine, even on intro's.
