There is no such thing, I`m afraid - you`ll need to get the PS2 chipped.

(Actually, there`s also a Heath Robinson contraption with a flip-top lid which lets you boot imports using a swap disc, but you still have to take the console apart to fit it.)

Note that the `Region X` and similar discs are for multi-region DVD movie playback - they don`t do anything for imported games.

See

OR
http://www.modchipstore.com/product_16158_PS2_Slide_Card_and_Swap_Magic_v20_Combo.html

The software you want is Swap Magic V2 - it can be used in to ways - one is to open the PS2 and convert to Fliptop and the 2nd is to use a Slide card.
See the above 2 links for more info or trying googling for Swap Magic V2

Tutorial on fitting the Fliptop:http://www.psxservices.co.uk/ps2_flipcase_tut.htm

I have the PS One version of this disc and it works very well for me on my Ps1.
