Just got Region X and loaded it on my PS2. It gives me the Region selection screen which I select and all works ok.(no green screen etc) But do I need to stick the RegionX CD in everytime I want to play a Region 2 DVD?. It's loaded about 10KB onto the memory card and I thought that it just read the info from the memory card and that you just switched on stuck in the DVD and away you go...or is it correct that you stick the Region X CD in every time and then have to select the region???
Yes, that's right - you have to put the RegionX disc in before *any* DVD.
The file saved on the memory card is to do with update codes.
By default, my PS2 has DVD driver version 1.20E when I turn it on, and the standard RegionX works fine with that.
However, I bought the official remote control, which as you know comes with an updated DVD driver - in my case, version 2.10E. If I use this driver, the standard RegionX does not function. However, there are codes on the RegionX website (http://www.dvdregionx.com) which can be entered when you boot the RegionX disc, enabling it to work.
These codes vary in length depending on the driver version, and some can take a bit of time to enter; so it is these that are saved in the memory card file, removing the tedium of entering them them every time you want to use RegionX.

for region 2....you don't need dvd region x
however for all other regions...every time you want to play one of those disks you need to insert dvd region x each time
