I want Tekken 5 and I want it now. Unfortunately its not relesed in the UK yet. Back in the days of the PS1 you could get your console chipped by pretty much anyone with half a brain for about ten quid. Im sure you can get the PS2 chipped too, but i dont now anyone who does it other than some guy at a computer fair and he charges quite a lot.
There used to be boot disks available for the PS1 later on in its life. Is there such a thing (or anything similar) available for the PS2 that allows me to play NTSC games without chipping?

You want something like that - yes, you can use boot discs (need those as well) but with the way the PS2's disc tray works, you need a flip-top lid as well.
Means replacing the casing, but a lot better than getting it chipped.
And away you go.
Although surely there's much better things to be buying than Tekken 5.

I don't know how good that site it, though.
Looks pretty dodgy.

Are those lids easy to fit and use?
I have no idea.
I know all about importing, but haven't got around to it myself.
What what I've heard, though, yes.
They've got a little guide on that website I think.

hmm yeah looks pretty dodgey. chipping sux though and importing everything is pricey. for 20 quid this looks like a good bet, considering what great games u can play if it works. mm suikoden 3.... xenosaga 1/2 etc. if u buy one make sure to tell us if it worked out =D
Looks easy enough from the guide.
So what other games do you recon I should get, seen as you said there are better ones than Tekken?

I've decided that I'm not going to mess with it myself, at least not yet. There is a shop in the city centre that specialises in this kind of stuff, but they are quite expensive. I think I'll check out how expensive before I buy one of the DIY kits.
Search for 'Swap Magic', it lets you play all games (NTSC, chipped etc etc).

I think I'd rather just replace the casing myself, in my own time, all under my own control, than fork out some extra wodge and let some random shop guy fiddle about with a soldering iron in my console's giblets.
erk
I have liked Tekken since number 2, it's been surpassed by Soul Calibur now, with seemingly no way of coming back again. But we'll see, I suppose.
There's a load of games that never even made it over here that should be your main importing staple - mostly RPGs, it must be said, but if you like them, you're in heaven.
