    I have a Japanese PS2...my friend just got the newest Magic modchip that does not require swapping...

    Hmm, well I have had some problems with the magic 3.1 chip - I can play my backup evo, but not the one I purchased. I would check out some of the more expensive chips if I had the loot.

    I think Messiah 2 is the best one out there for reliability.

    You can get the Messiah 2 Pro at http://www.gamegizmo.com and they also carry many other options to choose from. I've never had trouble ordering from them. Installing the chip is a pain unless you possess good solder skills.

    Can anyone play other region DVDs on their ps2 by using the fliptop/swap magic? I can't... I also can't seem to play foreign DVDs with my gameshark since the shark stopped working with the fliptop...

    Explain a bit Cosmic. I'm not quite understanding.

    Ok I got it to work... in order to use the gameshark version 3, you need to use the CD swap disk first. Then the gameshark loads other regional dvds just fine.

    Now my problem is trying to play EVO thru the gameshark version 2. I dont have a modchip to bypass the TOC limits so I may have to backup evo to a cdr (aka delete content to shrink it) so it will play. Gotta have those item codes /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif

    Other than the gameshark issue, the fliptop works great. /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif

    Has anyone used Action Replay for this (vs Swap Magic)?

    No really, just use the search. Youll find it.
