I think Alan is pulling your leg. As far as I know, the only known hack is for the Japanese version with the v1.00 DVD drivers. Pushing up on the pad of a digital control plugged into port one will allow you to basically play any region disc.

However, rumor has it that many of the modchips still in development will also provide "regionless" DVD functionality.

OK, I take this from http://www.megagames.com/ps2/ps2_dvd_region_hack.htm


It seems that Sony didn`t do it`s home work as it still is possible to playback
Region 1 DVD`s (US) on a PS2 even with the latest drivers installed, which
should have prevented this in the first place!

Here are the instructions how to do it:
Load the DVD into the PlayStation 2
At the browser screen, select the CD icon then press and hold square
and then circle until the DVD menu appears, holding both buttons all the time.
Then there are two ways to play the movie; you can either select the
play icon or the movie start icon which is in the middle to the far left. If one doesn`t work the other one will.
NOTE:
This hack only works on the first revision of the PS2 (SCPH-10000). It
does not work on the newer SCPH-15000

That`s pretty much what Jim said, i.e. it only works on the first model Japanese PS2s (SCPH-10000).
