- Utility Disc 1.00
- Bundled with early SCPH-10000 units in Japan. The DVD player install function only works on SCPH-10000 units that came with Utility Disc 1.00. Units that came with 1.01 will fail the installation, as will all later models of PS2.
- The DVD Player 1.00 installed by this disc has a method of bypassing the region code check on DVD Video. This way, it is possible play DVDs from any region as long as they contain 60 Hz video.
- Installing 1.00 onto a memory card through a console that supports it and trying to use this memory card in another console that does not support 1.00 won't work either as the DVD Player 1.00 has been blacklisted entirely on later units.
- Utility Disc 1.01
- Bundled with late SCPH-10000 units and all SCPH-15000 units. Was also available as a free mail-order update for owners of the 1.00 disc.
- Can install DVD Player 1.01 on any SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000 unit.
