My $3 US copy of Dino Crisis says this:
(https://web.archive.org/web/20131205185138im_/http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/dinocrisis.jpg)
It says this after the screen where it warns that the game is so violent and gory that I might just die in real life. Then the actual game never loads.
I can read it.
Forced shutdown.
The System is reformed.
There is some risk.
Rough translation...
強制終了しました。
本体が改造されている
おそれがあります。
Has terminated.
Body has been remodeled
There is a risk.
Or if its only two sentences...
強制終了しました。
本体が改造されているおそれがあります。
Has terminated.
There is a possibility that the body has been modified.
It's a copy protection scheme that is present in only a few PS releases... are you using a modded console?
YES! I figured that's what it was. It's a US console that has a mod chip to play other region games.

That only happens with the Dreamcast version.
Too bad it isn't a stealth chip, and I don't think they manufacture those chips anymore... at least you can get a PS1 for cheap! (please note that you could buy a PS2 but avoid modded consoles -- some PS2 modchips will trigger that error too)
Yeah I can just play it on my PS2 or PS3 (haven't tried it yet, though).
