Recently, someone has posted a topic about playing PS2 Japanese Import on US console with HDLoader on the net. He claimed that he can successfully play the Japanese Import with the help of swap magic and hdloader. I have summarized his article for all of you.

1. Use Swap Magic 2.0 CD version to boot the copied HDLoader(copied by using Clone CD software) 2. When the main menu of HDLoader appear, eject the Swap Magic CD and put in the Swap Magic 2.0 DVD 3. Then select the Install option in the menu. After a while the Swap Magic DVD will stop spinning. 4. Flip-topped in a japanese copy of gran turismo 3 a-spec 5. Afther the game is installed reboot and repeat step 1. But as soon as the HDLoader screen with the website pops up hit eject and put in original PS2 Crazy Taxi 6. Select Gran Turismo Japanese ver. from hdloader and hit play 7. Then, the game is successfully load and you can play.

Note that only GS2.0 ver3 or ver4 or Crazy Taxi original PS2 CD will work because they are labeled as "CRAZY TAXI" in a PC CD/DVD Drive. If you want to check to see if you have a valid HDLoader swap trick disc put it in your computer and see if the label for the disc is "CRAZY TAXI". If it is, you should be golden.

Actaully, we havent try whether it is work or not. Maybe we need time to find out more. Source: success-hk.com
