Yes, those are the Japanese versions of MAX and MAX2. DDR originally went with a "mix" version numbering system, but that was abandoned once Konami decided to do mixes with different feels (Party collection, Festival, etc).

how do you get these mod things You go to google, and hope you don't get site that will rip you off, you dismantle your PS2 and solder very tiny wires inside, hoping you've got the skill to not fry any of the heat sensitive, delicate electronics inside. Or you pay someone else to do it, and hope they're not raided by one of the copyright enforcement groups. |

modding a system is legal.
but anyways... they sell a nice mod for the psx at some game shops. You just push a spring in place and run a boot up disk, and switch to the import. I have something simmilar for the dreamcast as well. They are awesome, as no tech work is required.

modding a system is legal. Yes, but the sites and stores that sell the chips don't do a good job covering themselves legally. There were recently two raids here in the DC area for stores selling mod chips. Granted, they were modding Xboxes and including your choice of any 5 games copied to the hard drive, but I wouldn't want my name on their siezed customer lists. |

Mod is short for modification chip, which is a chip that's installed in a game console to bypass the authenticity checks that are performed on discs on startup. The console checks a region of the disc that's unwritable by conventional burners for a specific code. That code tells the console what region the game is supposed to be playable in (much like DVD region coding). The chip bypasses this check and always returns a valid value. They are legal, since there's non-infringing use of them (to play import games), but since they can also be used to play burned copies of games, the game manufacturers have gone after them pretty hard. The mod chip manufacturers could solve the whole problem by making chips that check on their own and only pass along a valid value if the game provides one (you could play imports, but not burned games). But since there's no money in honesty, they'll never do it.
