Original import games can not be played. The backups of the import games work with the USBMDO. PSX backups load directly, for playing PS2 backups you will need the Game Shark2 (US PS2) or Action Replay2 (PAL PS2).

Yes, you must swap disk between any original black bottomed disk, and imported or backup game to play. This takes only 5 seconds per game disk and will not damage your playstation. Wait for original black bottomed disk which acts as a boot-up disk to stop spinning, then place imported or backup disk to play.

This problem is usually due to incorrect installation, solder shorts, poor CDR media or requirement for potentiometer adjustment on the PS2 laser assembly. As each PS2 USBMOD is tested in a externally socketed PS2 console before shipping it is extremely unlikely that the mod chip is at fault. If during the installation process the mainboard to laser unit ribbon was removed/disconnected then check that this ribbon cable has a good connection.

The original Sicilian, Sardinian, and Ethiopian Miniature sized donkeys that were imported to be the original gene pool were visually gray-dun and brown. They had both the familiar light points and the dark muzzles. We now know that Luigi 95, a prominent jack in many pedigrees, was the source of red (sorrel, russet, red dun, etc). in most of our pedigreed donkey population. There were obviously other donkeys with the recessive red as well.

The success rate for original DVD import games, is about the same as with DVD-R backups. But new games in the Dual Layer DVD-9 format might not work because of the extremely big TOC (table of content) size around 7-9 GB. Swap Magic Boot Discs only have a TOC size of around 4.35GB. But a backup of a Dual Layer game applied with a patch might work. Like - there is a patch for Xenosaga from Paradox. Xenosaga is a Dual Later DVD-9 game with a TOC size around 8GB.

Songs that are purchased off OurStage.com can be played back in any player that supports the MP3 Format. This includes iTunes, Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, or just about any other modern program. (return to top)

The USBMOD will allow you to play backups from all regions. Original imports are not supported with this device

Yes, playing games such as shooters, sidescrollers, and fighters are fairly easy without knowing any Japanese. Tackling RPGs or dating simulation (yes that is a genre in Japanese gaming) games will be prove much more challenging - however some great folks have written semi-translations and walkthroughs for non-Japanese speaking players. Interestingly enough, most Japanese games tend to have their menus written in English.

No. The "Swap Trick" involves removing and replacing spinning disks to try to "fool" the PlayStation into booting an Import or backup game. The "Swap Trick" is potentially dangerous to the PlayStation motor as well as unreliable. To boot an import or backup with the PS-X-Change Boot CD , all you have to do is insert the PS-X-Change Boot CD , wait for the PSX motor to stop spinning, replace the disc with an import or backup then Press START.

Yes- You cannot boot PS2 backups without a modification, either a software mod or hardware mod!!! Do not ask about this in the forums!!!

Depends. Swap Magic is inexpensive and works well. It isn't compatible with DVD-9 games. For games above 4.38GB's you may have to rebuild the iso or do a TOC refresh to boot it. This is a small percentage of games, around 5%. In general Swap Magic 3.6 is an excellent product. After rebuilding there isn't a single game which Swap Magic won't boot. A good modchip is the ultimate upgrade. It'll play PSX/PS2/DVD/CD backups/imports automatically.

No. Most of the members of Tenderhoox are songwriters and have an extensive collection of songs written, but the time isn't just right yet to record and release this material. When this does happen though it probably won't be under the guise of Tenderhoox, but as a strictly originals rock band with a suitable name and look to the music that's written. But when that does happen, some of their tunes will blow you away.

Yes. If you’ve written a song and are interested in playing it in BandWorks, be sure to contact us when you register and let us know. We encourage musicians to bring in their own songs, and we’ve found that other band members are almost always eager to play original music written by one of their bandmates. We’ll talk with you about putting together a chart for the band, and possibly making a recording for reference.

Parallel imports, which are sometimes referred to as "grey market" imports, are cross broder trade in a product, without the permission of the manufacturer or publisher. Parallel imports take place when there exists significant price differences for the same good in different markets. There is trade in parallel imports in a wide range of goods, including such items as pianos, automobiles, motorcycles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, computers, cameras, Levi jeans, music CDs and ski equipment.

Yes: DOI names can be used by anyone, independent of the applications that may have been originally devised by the registrant. Particular communities may develop applications which involve assigning DOI names not by the original publisher but by other parties appropriate to that sector of interest.

First of all playing a game is relaxing and a very good way to think about something else than your daily problems. Stop working and play Globulation, this reduces drastically your stress and make you live longer! :) Like most games, especially strategy games, playing enhances your ability to think strategically and to organize yourself. But of course since games are so cool, they are also addictive. Don't play more than a few hours a day, and take a break from time to time.

No, except on the nights designated specially for them, which go under the cryptic title of 'covers nights'. There are a couple a year and are highlighted well in advance on this site.

Every country has trade in parallel imports. Restrictions on parallel imports exist only for certain types of goods. For example, in the United States, parallel trade is not permited for some copyrighted goods, and regulatory authorities restrict parallel imports of pharmaceuticals. Many European countries have significant trade in pharmaceutical parallel imports, particularly within the EU itself, but also from outside the EU, including imports from the USA market to the EU.

Yes we do have insurers that will cover parallel imports from within the EU these are acceptable at normal terms. Japanese grey imports are also acceptable under the scheme, although certain conditions do apply, for example a new car replacement will not be offered if the vehicle is written off, and a courtesy car also may not be made available if your car needs to be repaired.

No, all the vehicles we supply will be sourced from the manufacturer and UK-based franchised dealer network. All of our new vehicles come with a full UK manufacturer’s warranty and therefore can be taken into your local dealer for warranty or routine servicing work.

No. All vehicles are direct from a manufacturer or dealer. Full UK specification and warranty rights.

If original cartons are left near the objects for which they were designed and all the original packing (Styrofoam, cardboard cutouts, etc.) is still in the box, then the packers will try to use them. If the use of the original box entails the disassembly of an object (pressboard furniture, large toys, etc.), then the movers will try to find an alternative means of protecting the object.

Either way would be fine. If you already completed this problem, just specify which option you picked. If you haven't already completed it, then please use the original heap since that will make the grading easier since everyone will have the same starting point.

Yes, you can use your original Domain Name but all Schools are advised to switch over to the new Domain Names within a period of 2 years as after this point all 'pre-Project' registrations will be removed from the Register. This is because the new names make it far easier for all Internet users to locate the details of the school that they are looking for.
