To play a region 1 DVD on a European PS2, you will need a "DVD Region X" peripheral. These can be bought from any good video games shop.

Yes. Kaleidescape Players and Readers are only able to read Region 1 DVDs as shipped. The installer can use the Web Utility to set these components to any other region, but it is not possible to set them to be region-free, and you can only change the region of a given component up to four times. These restrictions are dictated by Kaleidescape's CSS License Agreement with the DVD Copy Control Association, Inc. You can have multiple Players and Readers in the same System set to different regions.

All DVDs offered by AirwindZERO are region-1/region-free/multi-region, they will play on any player in any country, Playstation 2, Xbox and Computer DVD-Rom.

You need to be able to either change the Regional Code on your player or switch it be become 'multi-region'. If you own a PC, you can easily download software that allows you to switch between Regions. If you own a stand-alone player, it is can be slightly more difficult. Many players can be 'hacked', usually by pressing a sequence of buttons on the remote and there are many websites that list such hacks. If your player can't be hacked then you can get it chipped or modified.

No, you can play PAL DVDs only if your TV system and DVD player supports PAL playback (or multi-system). But you can play PAL DVDs fine on a computer DVD-ROM. Our DVD works with any player from any region. More details of a title can be obtained from its individual page.

The short answer is you can't. The long answer is you can, but it's a pain. First you'd need to download Paradox's Console ID Changer: SKS Apps Then you'd need to find a valid PS2/ilink ID for the region you wish to play online games with. These ID's are hard to come by, if any online servers detect multiple Console ID's online at the same time, you will be banned permanently. This isn't like getting kicked off for an hour because of cheating or using a modchip, this is for good.

No, we do not region encode our DVDs (actually they are encoded region 0 for all regions). This allows any player in the world access to our DVDs; but, they are recorded and encoded with the NTSC video format, and your player must be able to handle this. Many overseas players are dual-format, so this usually isn't a problem; but be sure to double check before ordering.

First try the resident DVD player as the majority of our DVD players are coded to be able to play multi-region discs. If for some reason your disc doesn't play in the DVD player or you prefer to use the PC the you can use a software package called VLC media player which can be found by going to START > All Programs > Accessories > Viewers & Readers. Your region 1 disc should play using this software. Lastly, a program called Power DVD should be installed on the PC.

If a DVD is not recognized, you can enter the information yourself using the Web Utility. If this DVD is later recognized by the Kaleidescape Movie Guide Service, then the Kaleidescape information will overwrite the information you entered. Once a DVD is recognized by the Movie Guide Service, you can however edit any of the information about the DVD- for example, you can assign a different parental control rating.

Right now, yes. It's on a trial basis and we don't expect to decide against them unless there is a problem. Handhelds are probably better to pass the time with if needed, though.

DVDs are region protected, which means that players in Region 1 (US/Canada) can't play DVDs from other regions (Japan, Europe, etc). This concept is similar to the region protection on the Sony PlayStation. The Hollywood Plus software allows you to change the region code of your Hollywood Plus up to 5 times, before the region code can no longer be changed and requires the board to be sent in for resetting.

Some of the DVDs we carry are region-free and others are region specific. If you need a certain video and are unsure if it will play in your DVD player you may consider purchasing the downloadable version of the video in question. To determine the region code of a DVD feel free to contact us at support@worshiphousemedia.com.

We do not stock Region 1 DVDs locally and will only order them upon a request. You will need to email request for further information. Anime Traffic does not deal with products which have not come from legitimate production houses and/or their recognised distribution sources.

A breakdown of standard regions is as follows: The original Japan model PS2 consoles (10,000 and 15,000) used a memory card software control for playback, however Sony have now opted to use a hard encoded chip to control playback for the Japan 18,000 series and all US and PAL versions.

Mod chips are available and being tested to allow all region games to play on any console, this will be a simple installation such as that is used on the PS1, DC and SS.

All dvds are either Region 1 (Canada/USA) or Region Free (Worldwide). The Region Free dvds are usually the old classic movies.

These were due to be released on 9th January 2001 but have been postponed indefinitely due to unforseen problems with the series' syndication rights in America.

The region code on our DVDs is set to Region 0. This means it can play in all countries, provided the NTSC signal can be played on the equiptment being used. Most modern DVD players which normally play PAL formatted discs can also automatically play NTSC formatted DVDs. Modern TV sets allow NTSC playback although in some cases adjustments may be required through the user menu. Practically all PAL and NTSC DVD's will play fine throughout Australia, UK and Europe.

DVDs are categorized into 8 regions dependent upon geographic location with the last two regions reserved for special applications. Onkyo DVD players sold in the United States can only play back region 1 DVDs or ??all region?? DVDs that are not region specific. The following list is a breakdown by region.

Use Ctrl+Alt+Fn to switch back to a virtual console. Ctrl+Alt+F1 would return you to the first virtual console. To return to the X session, you must switch to the virtual console running X. If you invoked X from the command line, (e.g., using startx) then the X session will attach to the next unused virtual console, not the text console from which it was invoked. If you have eight active virtual terminals then X will be running on the ninth, and you would use Alt+F9 to return.

We use DirectShow to play back DVDs, which has an additional region code maintained by Windows that needs to be set correctly.

Did you bother to read what hushypushy wrote just above your post? And the answer to your question would be "yes." He's not just "trying" either ("trying" sorta has a "no success so far" connotation) -- he can boot into at least one PS2 game from his private build.
