New PS2 Exploit - MechaPwn - Change your Compatible PS2 Region and Play PS1 Discs Too! (2021) @ProjectPhoenixMedia

Uploaded April 2021 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

I think this is big news for 2021, and I'm excited to discuss MechaPwn, which is basically a new ps2 exploit that patches the mechacon of certain compatible ps2 systems so you can change your region, and as a bonus, play ps1 original and backup discs too!

Let's say you have a NTSC-U console and you want to play your JPN retail game. It won't work at first, but once you apply MechaPwn and respective patches, then yes you will be able to play your JPN game without getting a physical JPN console! How cool is that!

Warning: It is very possible for you to brick your PS2 if you do not know what you are doing, so please, pretty please, read the github carefully, and if any issues, create a github ticket. Enjoy!

Note #1: Go to the GitHub, they added SCPH-790XX fix.

Note #2: As clarification in the video, when you do the region, you want to select the region you to go GO TO, not the region you are FROM. For me personally, I only want to do USA region since I am NTSC-U and that is all I care about, but I wanted to make that clear again.

Note #3: Although playing PS1 backups is a nice "side effect" of MechaPwn, I want to make it crystal clear that this is not the main intention of the team.

Note #4: Apparently, the correctly way to pronounce MechaPwn is "mekka-pone". I said it as "mekka-pawn". For some reason, I always pronounced "pwn" as "pawn", and not as "pone", so thanks everyone for pointing that out. Clearly you know this better than I do, lol!
