I've been diving into my wishlist of PS2 imports lately, and have had good luck using Swap Magic to play them, but the waters get a bit muddier with other consoles. With a Genesis and PS1 due to arrive shortly, along with my old SNES, and a recently acquired Dreamcast, I figure it's time to get moving on it. Obviously, buying Japanese consoles would be the best way to go, but unfortunately, my apartment only has so much space :/
I've done periodic research on playing imports on each of these systems, but am wondering if anyone has first-hand experience with some of the usual options and can suggest the best method they've tried on these systems. Emulators are obviously an option, but I'd prefer the real hardware if possible.
I'm also interested in running PC Engine CD, Saturn, and Mega CD imports, but won't be picking up any of that stuff for a little while.
I know kimimi's a big importer, but I'd love to hear from anyone else familiar with this stuff, too!
