I could actually never figure that out and ended up giving up... I bought an all region DVD player for myself for x-mas. Everytime I tried to use the PS2, it wouldn't read the disk. At all. So utterly frustrating.

You can always download Hacked firmware, wich allowed unlimited region change

hacked firmwares are not so easy to find though

On the PC side, DVD Region Free is the one I use to watch Ayu on my laptop, and if I want to watch a PAL DVD since I live in America. This doesn't effect the region code that is in your physical DVD ROM drive. It works by tricking the player program (Power DVD, WinDVD, whatever) that you're playing the right region. You can change your DVD ROM drive's actual region, but you cannot change over 5 times, as someone said in this thread.

A NTSC PS2 will play any region with the help of Game Shark (The reason I got a GS) but it will not play PAL. A PAL PS2 with a Game Shark will play any region, but will not play NTSC. To get it to work, simply put the GS in the PS2, select DVD player and the region you want to play, then put your disc in and play it. IMPORTANT NOTE: Game Shark V2 will not work with the Remote Control DVD driver upgrade! You cannot use your remote control playing another region disc on a PS2 with GS V2. Remove the memory card to try it. Newer PS2s with upgraded drivers built in will also not work and you'll need a GS V3, but I know little about that version.

Rambling done, hope it helped someone. ^_^

Hmph... well- whenever I tried to change the regions, it wouldn't let me -_-.;;; but I'm gonna have to try again soon *nods*
