How to change NTSC-J PS3 console to NTSC-U/C?

[thien]

Hi all !

Anyone know how to do that because i want to play some PS2 copied game on my NTSC-J 60GB BC PS3 console (especially Onimusha 2). Thanks

did you try the copied game... It does not work as NTSC is NTSC whether Japan, Mexico or USA/Canada.

I know for PS2 games they all work the same.

I've tried to play USA PS2 copied game but it didn't work.

What method are you using on your B/C PS3?

Ps2 backups runs only with a dongle, is it not?

[windrider42]

NO, on a B/C PS3 he can use Swap Magic and or OPL v.09

Swap Magic require open PS3 and very difficult to do .right ? What is OPL v.09 ?

See here for Open PS2 Loader v0.8/v0.9/v0.91 details: http://www.ps3news.com/playstation-3...e-is-released/

thanks. I'm reading now.

But seem in PS3 you need to have an original SwapMagic 3.6+ or 3.8 (at the moment there aren't any other option). I don't have original SwapMagic 3.6+ or 3.8 (copied of SwapMagic 3.6+ or 3.8 work or not)

It's been years since I've messed with this myself, but from what I recall you are correct and an original Swap Magic disc is needed since it contains the pressed (not burned) boot sectors that will allow it to launch on an unmodified PS3 console.
