Title: Can you read this?
Post by: Joe Redifer on June 09, 2013, 03:59:43 PM
My $3 US copy of Dino Crisis says this:

(http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/dinocrisis.jpg)

It says this after the screen where it warns that the game is so violent and gory that I might just die in real life. Then the actual game never loads.

Forced shutdown.
The System is reformed.
There is some risk.

Rough translation...

強制終了しました。
本体が改造されている
おそれがあります。

Has terminated.
Body has been remodeled
There is a risk.

Or if its only two sentences...

強制終了しました。
本体が改造されているおそれがあります。

Has terminated.
There is a possibility that the body has been modified.

It's a copy protection scheme that is present in only a few PS releases... are you using a modded console?

YES! I figured that's what it was. It's a US console that has a mod chip to play other region games.

That only happens with the Dreamcast version.

Too bad it isn't a stealth chip, and I don't think they manufacture those chips anymore... at least you can get a PS1 for cheap! (please note that you could buy a PS2 but avoid modded consoles -- some PS2 modchips will trigger that error too)

Yeah I can just play it on my PS2 or PS3 (haven't tried it yet, though).
