What do I need for game importing...?

[Enigmacy]

I'm seriousy considering importing KHII:FM+...But don't you need a different type of PS2 to play a imported game?..

You need a SwapMagic card I think I'm not too sure on that.

Well, you can shell out the $250 for a Japanese PS2, but modding is a much cheaper solution.

Two forms- Modchips, and the Swap Magic method.

Modchips, plain and simple. They bypass the NTSC/PAL securities and allow you to just play your game lickety-split. However, modchipping can be hard to do, and accidents can happen.

Swap Magic is more of a kind of "placeholder" technique, where you use the Swap Magic DVD/CD to get past the region securities and switch the disc with a slidecard or a fliptop. (I for one prefer the fliptop- less likely to break the disc tray, looks nicer, too.)

If you're willing to shell out the cash, you could just order a modded PS2. You have to be wary of which sites are legit, though. I've been looking into it myself as of late...mostly for Guilty Gear.

I don't know. Like you said, people can be selling fake, modded PS2's. But the swap magic sounds....cheaper..?..How much is the swap magic?

I would've said go mod it in Mexico, but i figure you're too far. I got my 360 modded so it can play imports and burned games in Mexico.
