This site "claims" that a boot-up disc was created to play original import titles and Cd-R/DVD-R without modifications? Nevertheless, i'm wondering if it's legit?

I'm sure it "works," but I also have a feeling that it would damage your DVD-ROM drive's door motor over time. This should only be an option if you're too cheap/desperate to install a flip-top case.

If it doesn't actually work too well, then we'll be reading reviews about it soon enough. That is, if Sony doesn't get an injunction on its production beforehand.
Otherwise, I was originally thinking, "Great! A less expensive method of playing imports!" I saw the video, though; I might be a bit hesitant to just yank the disc drive out like that.

I suppose that would work but is that in the least bit safe for your PS2? I'm not that well versed with the internal working of the PS2 but I'm assuming the mechanical drive is not designed to be jostled about manually. Does this "highly advanced piece of plastic" fix it so the tray is somehow floating free or do you have to push and shove against the console's motors in order to open and close the thing? If someone is brave enough to try this out let us know the results.

flip top case = ass
granted, it looks cool. yeah, indeed it does...but the flip top has already met its match when it comes to playing copied software. depending on who does the flip top, the last 'copied' game that will work in your system ranges between the release of the getaway and xenosaga.
at the moment i have 5 friends with fliptops that are pissed off because they cant backup their software/burn stuff while i sit here with a perfectly done modchip that plays everything with no swap/gimmick crap.
the moral? dont be a cheap ass. have a chip installed and you'll won't have to worry(as of right now) about which games work, and which games dont.
Innovating combos you havent even thought of...

I agree, every person I have seen using uch maniouvers end up with several troubles and -in some cases- the "destruction" of the PS2... Shit I wish they could sell originalmod chips down here; how much do they worth anyway?? $100??

Are there any reputable places to have a PS2 modded? That's always seemed rather shady to me but I don't want to destroy my PS2 trying to solder the chip in myself.
