US Playstation 2 Games: they work on Irish consoles?

fmk10 · 2009-12-03 23:29:01

If anyone knows the answer to this, I'd really appreciate it. I'm getting Playstation 2 games from the US as presents for my kids who have an Irish Playstation 2 console. Will the games work? Thanks in advance. /FmK10

No they won't as their region encoded. You'll either need to find a disc loader than can bypass this or you'll need to get the console chipped to bypass the region lockout.

As far as i know, The US uses a different encoding, NTSC or something like that, Europe uses PAL. Hope that helps

The different type of video systems we use has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with it. Just to be pedantic not all of Europe uses PAL either... for instance france use SECAM.
