AuronF3 6 years ago 1. I'm not too knowledgeable about what games work on what consoles. I used to read a lot about region locked games when I was in highschool, but I've forgotten most of that stuff. Hopefully, there won't be any problems with playing a Japanese game on a US Ps2 console. Currently playing Valkyrie Profile 2 for the ps2, waiting for Monster ranchers ds to be released. Lelio7 6 years ago 2. No, you need a Japanese PS2 I believe there are other methods, but they're morally questionable, illegal, and not allowed to be discussed on this site.

PS2 was the last Sony console to have a mandatory region lock. The marking on your console and game discs have to match, so no, a Japanese game won't work on your PS2 without additional methods that are not allowed to be discussed in detail here. The PS3 doesn't have a mandatory region lock, but publishers can opt to have a lock, and to date, only 2 PS3 games have the lock.

If I remember correctly there was a disk that let you get around the region lock called magic swap disk. Mainly works on the slim ps2 though. It's like the free loader for GameCube.
