Help! How to bypass mod protection in Pop'n Music 5...?

Andy the happy mod-man

I use an American PS2 modded with the flip-top cover mod, and I use Gameshark 2 to play import PSX games.

When I try to play Pop'n Music 5, it start up saying "loading" in the lower right, and all of a sudden it shows me a red no-smoking like symbol and some darkened illegible words on it. It looks like the symbol used in American PSX games that have region/copy protection.

Is there a Gameshark mod-proteciton bypass code, or a patch for the game or something? I really don't have the money to get an import PSX or PS2 right now, nor do I have the money or skills to get one of the high-end PS2 modchips.

Crap. I just found out that the GS2 I'm using (the PSX disc part of it) doesn't allow the making of new codes (meaning even if I get a bypass code I can't use it).

So my only option is if there's a patch for Pop'n 5. Is there one?

I know there's a patch, so it's probably going to be at http://www.megagames.com. They have most every patch available.
