Please add to the list, because it is what we make it. If possible, identify a title with the release date (or at least some person such as an actor or director) and version (such as Director's Cut). This information helps to avoid confusion about which version of "Dracula" we're talking about (there are often more versions than you know). The studio it came from is also valuable info, as some studios' releases are more likely to work than others, and some movies see DVD release through more than one studio. If the DVD doesn't work, describe whether it fails to boot up or gets to the PS2 DVD menu but won't play (failing to boot may be because the trick wasn't done right). Mail your compatibility information to Invasion (invasion.kenji@verizon.net) or post your findings in the PlayStation2 message board here at GameFAQs.com. If a title is specified as anime or music, it will be included in the anime or music lists, too. Additional details, like which special features work, may not appear in this list, but are displayed, as allowed, at Invasion's site (members.bellatlantic.net/~vze24rje/). *********************************************************************** 5: How do I play DVDs? How do I know if a DVD works? This information ONLY applies to the first series of the Japanese PS2 (SCPH 10000) using version 1.00 of the DVD Player (saved onto the memory card). To find out what version of DVD Player you have, press the 'triangle' button in the PS2 startup menu. To see what model PS2 you have (eg SCPH 10000), look on the back of the console. Playing R1 DVDs Press and hold 'up' on the d-pad as soon as you select the DVD from the system menu, and continue to hold up until the disc plays, you see the PS2 DVD menu, or you see two lines of Japanese text (indicating a failure to boot). You may need to try this a few times to get the movie to boot, and the original digital (not DualShock) controllers seem to be the most reliable. You may also have luck pressing and holding 'up' while powering up the console. You should at least be able to boot to the PS2 DVD menu, if not immediate movie play, indicating successful execution of the trick. Some DVDs will not play, and you will see in the corner of the screen a little white square with a few characters indicating this when you select Play (the little triangle icon) from the PS2 DVD menu. However, just about every DVD can be booted up at least to the PS2 DVD menu, and failure to get this far probably indicates the trick wasn't done right. Be patient, especially if you are just learning the trick. Often multiple attempts are necessary to get the DVD to boot, and trying an original controller may be the ticket if problems persist. You may also have luck pressing in and holding the left stick (L3) of a DualShock2, instead of up on the D-pad, or turning on or off the red LED (analog on/off). If you get to the PS2 DVD menu and the DVD still won't play, or the movie plays but some extras on the DVD won't (like video sequences such as theatrical trailers), you may want to try Chapter skipping. Select the curling arrow and enter 01, 02, or 03, etc. The PS2 DVD Menu JVGFanatic.com (Japanese Video Game Fanatic) has a translation of the Japanese PS2 DVD menu, as part of its extensive coverage of Japanese video gaming in general. DVD Player version 1.01 There have been a few proposed tricks (holding down various combinations of square, circle, and triangle), but the persisting report is that they do not work and that there is no way to get v 1.01 to play R1 DVDs. *********************************************************************** 6: Success Ratio By Category: Works/Total I.

Invasion's site (members.bellatlantic.net/~vze24rje/) is the best place on the web to look for both in-depth and up-to-date information. The PlayStation2 message board here at GameFAQs.com a has discussion of DVD functionality on the PS2 in general. IMDb.com is a great reference for movie information of all kinds, including actors, dates, and multiple titles. *********************************************************************** 8: Acknowledgements For their contribution of titles and more, thanks to: Alan, Alexander, Andras, AniMania, Ben, Blammo, Brian, Chris, CK Chang, cornfish, Da Brass, Dom, Eggbert, enmous, Favorite Son, Gamest2326, GUY2000, Importplayer, Invasion, J, Jason, JLLee, Justin, jvgfanatic, LowKey2k, Mason, medpref, Mick, Mr Elf, NihonnoGameBoi, NorowaretaMono, Patrick, perfect cell, Phil, PS2 Web, Ra, rj, Russ, Russel Apt, Ryan, Ryoga Hibiki, Shaunlar, Shinya Aoki, Simon, SONYPS2, specialagentj, spectre13, Surreal54e, Walter Mitty, wanderer, woz, xiaNaix, Zach, Zero VGS, plus anyone accidentally left off. *********************************************************************** ©2000 Mr P, All Rights Reserved
