You should really get an modchip installed. Pretty easy you can do it in 10-15mins yourself if you got basic soldering skills.
Modchip will let you have a multi-region psx just boot up your import games without discswaping.

Two ways:

1) get moded. My US PS is the only moded console and it still runs well.

2) get gold finger. you still need to do the swap method though (swap method will not work in the newer PS model, therefore you'll need to use both gold finger plus swap method)

go to this page; they have PSX bootdiscs. They even work on a PSOne <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

And the best part is, your warranty is still good. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Ii dont have a lot of PS one imports, so I used the goldfinger method.

It act as a Gameshark as well. And you can view movie files as well. Very cool little gadget. I bought mine from NCS and the even included the little spring for the lid. AND instructions.

Of course, all the text & stuff is still in Japanese or whatever, right? Good luck reading the select menus....
