You don't need much for it to work, just a couple of small plastic pieces that you put on the PS2 so the it doesn't register that you opened the disc tray when you change discs.

If you only plan to use it for a couple of games, then swap magic is ok, but changing discs becomes a chore after a while, so if you're planning to play a lot of burned games, you should really think about using a mod-chip (best one for the PS2 is the DMS4 SE).

Also, that crap about making Zodd and Griffith into one character is a fucking lie, the Dreamcast game is basically an extra chapter from when Guts was taking Caska along with him with Puck.

Do you know of any online store that still sells the game (second hand, don't care) together with the swap magic discs? I cannot find any of them in the (german) ebay or amazon.

You mean the game with the swap magic discs? I don't know. It'd be much easier if you get the swap magic discs and download the Berserk game from any torrents site and burn it to a dvd. Here's a list of online stores that sell the Swap Magic 3 discs:

If you still want the Berserk game original, you could try the US ebay and ask them about sending it where you live.

Meh, download should do just fine

Thanks for the links, there's even a distributor in germany.

I don't care to go buy a swap card or mod my PS2, especially cause my PS2 is my main form of gaming and it's a fat one from close to launch. I hear both methods can have some bad risks, and I rather not take those risks. If I ever get a spare PS2 or get a lot of spare cash, then sure. Otherwise... I'm just gonna have to enjoy the game of what I've seen of it on YouTube, which is already orgasmic.

well, i'm never going to get a dreamcast because it's been defunct since 2000, so does anyone know about an emulator for the dreamcast berserk? or the ps2 one for that matter?

For those of us that have PS 3 can't we just play any PS 2 game on it or is it still regional?

Most places you can buy a dreamcast controllers and everything used for like twenty-five bucks, so it's really not a large investment, besides dreamcast was actually a really good system for its time, just never picked up. You might be able to mod the dreamcast, and just pick up a torrent for the game -- burn a copy, then play it like that.

Thats what I thought at first. Then I realized you'd have to buy a Japanese ps3 for that to work. The DVDs and ps2 games are all region coded.

But with blu-ray East Asia and America are the same region. So technically you could buy a Japanese blu-ray p0rn and play it on a US system... not that anyone would wanna do that . I think the same thing applies with games. So you could import "Boku no Natsuyasumi 3: Hokkoku Hen: Chiisana Boku no Dai Sougen" and it should play.




I just picked the Japanese game with the most ridiculous title.

PS3 Blu-Ray Games aren't region locked at all. Europe and USA have different Blu-Ray regions but it's no problem importing games from the US for me. Only Blu-Ray movies are (although not all of them) region locked.

My mom works with a nice guy who burns things for people, I just realized he could games too. Currently I'm downloading the Berserk ISO which is split into 19 files and put on megaupload, I then am gonna put them on disc and give him them to burn a DVD for me. It's bothersome, but if it gives me the chance to play this game then I'm going for it.

But alas, I also gotta buy Swap Magic, but no place selling it accepts money orders.

I wonder if gamestop would accept a japanese ps2, after buying it from a convention ... though, that would be pointless, because i used to work for gamestop ad ps2s are worth like 15 $. still more than a gamecube, thats only 5$

There was a promotion at gamestop that you would get $80 for your PS2 with two controllers and a memory card, but I think it ended a couple of weeks ago. They usually rip you off when buying games, I mean they took DMC3 for like 5 bucks even though it was in perfect condition back when it was still somewhat new.

Yeah, Gamestop barely pays anything for your games. I brought a bag full of video games and movies I no longer wanted. They no longer buy movies as they're trying to get away from them, and they were only offering like 48 cents for most of my games (but to be fair, they were older shitty games. I'm talking Spiderman The Movie Game, and X-2 Wolverines Revenge) but I did sell them one of my games. It was the GBA version of Donkey Kong, which god knows why was going for $3. I kinda hate games like that so I had no problem selling it.

So you admit to being THAT kind of asshole who brings in fifty games to us then gets pissed at us for only giving you like five bucks for them. And we get that from people all day long, and then we have to take your ID incase you're trying not to sell use stolen games, and then you get more pissed. Even though it's not our fault, it's the fucking company, who are the same assholes who refuse to pay us anything higher than minimum wage, even though we have to deal with this kind of shit. And guess who plays all of these shitty games that are traded in for next to nothing? Bums, druggies, winos, and deadbeat dads. Though, in most cases, those are all the same. Yeah, I don't miss working there at all. Though, it's entertaining when the bums argue with security at the same time the manager decides to take his fifteen minute break.

Shit I just bought a japanese PS2. Now I'm rockin' Bersek, Rurouni Kenshin, Devilman, and Cowboy Bebop. they're not expensive at all.

... I'm... sorry? Uuuuh, what did I post to get this?

Meh, it's not you, I'm just pissed at the whole video game industry .

Yesterday I played through the Dreamcast Berserk game "Sword of the Berserk - Guts' Rage". It's basically like Dynamite Cop, or Final Fight or all those games. Lots of cutscenes, then a stage where you have to beat all the enemies to get to the next cutscene. The fighting was OK, but you only have 2 different combos for the Dragonslayer. At least you can fire the crossbow, the cannon, and Judeau's knifes and the tiny bombs Rickert made.
The story happens between volume 22 and 23 of the manga and is (according to the credits at least) written my Miura which is a big plus. Played through it in 4-5 hours though. Caska gets her memory back for like 5 seconds at the end - yay. "Gutsu, my dear. I had a very long bad dream." "Caska my love..." *Caska snaps back into her mindless state again. Meh.

Although hearing Guts constantly refering to Caska as "My Caska" and "My love" was kinda strange, as was the whole english synchronisation anyway. Guts isn't that romatic.

If anyone wanna try it out, I found a nice emulator site with the game:

I also downloaded the PS2 game yesterday over night from bittorrent, will try it out in the next hours:

Never understood DLing console games via BT. Are they playable on a computer, even though they were never formatted for one?

Dude, it's called an Emulator, it emulates a console on your pc...

Anyway just tried the PS2 game... it's kinda laggy (on my QuadCore with GeForce 9800 GX2!) and there is no sound most of the time. Meh.
But you can of course burn the game then and play it on your PS2 if you have swap magic to play burned CDs. Gonna order that so I can play the Berserk game with full sound and no lag

Go for a mod-chip instead of the swap magic discs cause constantly changing discs will get really frustrating after some time. The mod-chip is a little more complicated to install, but it's only a one time deal. And I can't stress this enough, use Verbatim DVDs, others will wear out the lens pretty quickly.

Mount and Blade is the definitive medieval mercenary company simulator. It's surprisingly easy to play out the Band of the Hawk's ascent; the fall would be a tad trickier, as I have yet to find any options that involve sleeping with the king's daughter and your captors have the oddest tendency to *not* sever your tendons while you languish in their prisons. And the ability to customize your companion's skills and equipment makes it pretty easy to duplicate the role of different members in the band. "Okay, Judeau, take these throwing knives and hop to." "My name's Nizar-" "YOU'RE JUDEAU"

Um. I've never played it, so I wouldn't know, but if it's possible to customize your companion's skills, could you basically set everything at zero in order to simulate Griffith after he is rescued from the prison? Just wondered.

I dunno if anyone has stumbled on this before but here is a berserk flash game.
