Hi, I live in Finland so I have a PAL PS2. I have the NTSC-version of the game and Swap Magic to play it. My question is that is using said method to bypass the region lock allowed? I love the game and think the speedrun is cool, but I don't much like the idea of having to buy an NTSC PS2 to run it. Thanks!

Well I run on a hard modded PS2 to play NTSC copies and backupped games so I don't think it should be a problem.

Yeah you can do that if you wish to do so :)
