There is a way you can play VCD's on a PS2 thatim sure a lot of people arent aware of. There are some new modchips that you can install (can be a difficult challengeo do) that will enable your PS2 to play VCD's. They are kind of tricky to install, you have to solder about 10 wires to your PS2, not too tricky if you know how to solder, but getting to the main chip is harder than hell.
