i recently bought some ps2 games whilst on hols in Malaysia. They were very cheap and when i got back to england i tried them on my ps2 but it came up with "insert format cd" or words to that effect. firstly i have no idea what region they are and secondly and more importantly, how/where can i get this format cd from, and if i am unable to what would i need to do to enable me to play these games and how would i do it? If you could post your message on the message page or email me : [email protected] i would be so grateful, thanks. please help me - An inexperienced ps2 fan.

Did it say "Insert Playstation 2 format disc"? If it was the red background, it does mean you've got the wrong region (as I expect you would).
There is no simple way you'll be able to get those games to play. The easiest involves changing the case on your PS2 - see www.ps2fliptop.com

are they official or pirate copies?
and if they are official they are probably NTSC-J (Japan

Knowing Malaysia it's more than likely they are pirate copies so unless you have a modded PS2 you won't be able to play them.

Depending on the games then i'd be more than grateful to take them of your hands :-D
