[Deleted User] · 2008-08-06 15:40:56

As the title says what do I need? I remember years ago I had some sort of cartridge I put in the back of the computer and also some sort of scart cable. Anyone know for sure what I need?

You need either a swap disk or get the PS1 modded. You'll also need a TV that supports NTSC otherwise you'll get a black and white signal.

Basically it's a disc that you put in the PS on boot up and it runs then prompts you to insert the import disc and then runs your import game. It bypasses the region lock out code.

Buy a US PS1.

Then cry when the laser dies.
