Err...

GT4 says "GT4" on the cover, and has a picture of a Ford GT.
GT4: Prologue says "GT4: Prologue" on the cover, and has a faint picture of a wheel.

American/Canadian game says "NTSC-U/C" in the corner of the cover.
Japanese/Asian game says "NTSC-J" in the corner of the cover.
European/Worldwide game says "PAL" in the corner of the cover.


Comparing your old game case to your new one will give you the information you require. Though your post is complex and fairly random, so I don't know exactly what information you need...

I figure this might help: Worldwide TV standards.

Compare the country where you were living to the country you're in now. If the standards match, you may be OK. If not, you'll need to make sure you've got the right GT4 disc for that region.

On another note, use of "txt" style typing such as "u" 👎 instead of "you" is forbidden at
Please post in the fullest, clearest English that you can so that everyone may easily understand. 👍

I seriously can't understand what it is you're saying, what the issue is or what you want... But for the very last part you cannot play GT4 for other regions (UK is the Worldwide version like the rest of Europe; Asia is, surprisingly, Asia version) on PS2 console that are not from those regions. If you have a PAL/Worldwide GT4 and an NTSC/Asian PS2, you won't be able to play it.

The bit with the songs and the shops is confusing the hell out of me. Could you possibly photograph what the problem is?

...and Famine's confusion is making me confused about akirasho's confusing post.

I think maybe what he is saying, is that whatever version he has bought, it doesn't have the 70's, 80's and 90's used cars shops, and there isn't a 2nd hand shop (which I had no idea existed in the first place). I think maybe the game is having trouble loading, due to Ps2 differences.

ALSO, He must have had the NTSC-J version before hand, and now he has bought the PAL version, and there are new songs, and probably less cars.

No version does. There's an 80s/Old Timers garage and two 90s garages for 90-95 and 96 on.

and there isn't a 2nd hand shop (which I had no idea existed in the first place).

Aside from the above, there isn't one.

I think maybe the game is having trouble loading, due to Ps2 differences.

The game wouldn't even be recognised as a valid disc by the console. I have NTSC-J and PAL consoles and NTSC-J, NTSC-U/C and PAL games.

ALSO, He must have had the NTSC-J version before hand, and now he has bought the PAL version, and there are new songs, and probably less cars.

The songs are different, version to version and there's not really a significantly different number of cars. But if the game isn't loading he wouldn't be able to determine this. Hence my confusion...

As for where GT4: Prologue comes into it... I have no idea.
