![]() ![]() You can actually MAKE a slide card out of an old credit card for nothing, using these specifications: ![]() Either way you need to make some very slight modifications to your PS2. This needn't cost any more money (see below) You can either buy whats called a "slide card" for your console, or a flip top case to replace the original PS2 lid from the same websites which sell the boot disks. *EDIT* I believe newer versions are now availiable, they ought to be fine and might even reduce the length of the process. Be sure that you are getting the CD version 3.0 and the DVD version 2.0 of these boot disks, the most recent release of the Swap Magic product. To get hold of a boot disk set, just type "swap magic 3.0" then your country name into your local Google, and a web store which sells them should pop up. You can't copy this boot disk, it must be original as the same lock-out protects against copied games. Unfortunately it means you have to spend £15-20 on another disk to make Suikoden 3 work. To make the console run imported games, a boot disk which bypasses the regional lock-out is required, as well as a solution to avoid the PS2's disk drive realising that the boot disk is being used. However, i have encountered and solved many specific problems involving this one game, and thee is a checklist at the very end in case the method still doesn't workfor you.īefore we go any further, there is another purchase necessary to make anything happen. I dont intend to import any more games, either, so i know nothing about making other 'problem' games load. I had never ventured into the shady world of Ps2 imports before, so this guide is comprehensive and for the total newbie. I also include a guide to making the game work on your PAL TV, old or new. Once everything's together, the boot process itself takes about a minute. The following tutorial will be sufficient for anyone who has a PAL Playstation2 which has not been modified to play the game, with one additional purchase (a boot disk), and five easy steps. In addition, Suikoden 3 is notoriously a 'problem game' for PS2 chips to run, and as such this makes it even harder for worldwide fans to get a copy to work, as websites selling chips often lie or exaggerate the capailities of their product. I did not modify any of the Consoles involved in any way which would void their warranty (when applicable), and i did not purchase or do anything which is against the law, in the UK, at least. I brought 6 copies for myself and my friends back with me from a recent trip to America, and spent the last few weeks figuring out how to make them all work. The only reason igot into the import game scene was Suikoden 3. I don't know anything about copying or downloading the game.Īnyhow, this tutorial will certainly hep the many, many European and Australian fans of the series who want to play the US or JAP release of the game which has now been permanently and sadly cancelled by Konami. I just want to make it clear that i do not advocate video game piracy or modifying your PS2 console. Thanks to everyne who posted and mailed with advice and compliments! I thought i'd port my old FAQ over here and editit a bit to make it a little more current.
