Its retail variant is always a satin silver fat H-chassis console. It has its own dedicated game region ("NTSC-C") rather than the NTSC-J region that is used on the other Asian PS2 consoles (Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan). The DVD region code is 6, which is also a dedicated China-only DVD region code. As another specialty, it is the only retail PS2 console to have a third ROM(-section) other than BOOT and DVD, which contains a Chinese character set. While this rom section is required to boot most of NTSC-C games due to software checks, only 2 of them really use it (Ape Escape 2, Viorate no Atelier: Gramnad no Renkinjutsushi 2). CDVDMAN included in games for that region perform additional check for valid value in 0x1F402038 register. This model is also the only one known to utilize the CDVD S command 0x27 to launch PS1 games. | ||
