How can I play PAL games on my PS2?

I have been trying to figure this out for awhile and was wondering if anyone here has done it or knows how...my ps2 is in the standard NTSC format and I have been dying to play Siren 2...this game has not been released in the US...so my question is-What is needed to get my ps2 to be able to play PAL games?...any tips will be very appreciated

Well I think I can help you here. As when I bought Biohazard & Biohazard 0, the Wii ports of the REmake & RE0, they were Japanese, and I couldn't play them, so I figured out I would have to get something called a Freeloader, which allows you to play games with other region codes.

That would be my tip. Never got around to getting one, and I was of course trying to get one on the Wii, but I'm sure Ps2 has one as well. I didnt' get one though because shortly after, it was released that Resident Evil Archives(not the book), which contained RE0 & REmake, ported on the Wii, for the US, would be released, so I spent like 80 bucks on two Jap games for nothin'.

They are a nice addition to my collection however, so I'm perfectly satasfied.

I aint seeing anything for a ps2 freeloader but i do see something called a swap magic disc...has anyone tried this out?

No. CharlieRE2 had suggested the site to me, though I can't remember the name of it...

Anyway, if the freeloader idea doesn't work, I'm afraid I can't help. But I feel your pain, damn region codes...

I have been snooping about and it seems like it is easy to use swap magic...I will need to mod my ps2 though by getting a flip top cover for it...here is the site on how it is done...www.swapmagic3.com/index.html
