Hi guys,

I binned my old fat modded ps2 a few months ago in rage when I couldn't get it to work anymore.

I have a slim PS2 now SCPH-70003 and decided to get swap magic as I had something similar for my old PSX back in the day and it never let me down.

Got my discs yesterday but neither will boot, I've put in the slimtool fine and it spins and boots other games. I've tested all types of media, it plays PS2 and PS1 originals, plays dvds and audio cds too. So the thing is healthy just refuses to boot the swap magic discs.

The dvd disc just spins until the browser pops up and the cd disc gives me the red clouds.

So, am I extremley unlucky and have two defective discs or is there something wrong with my hardware?

I'm itching to play some undubbed rpgs :(

Its rare that both discs are faulty, but could very well be.

If you have a friend with a PS2, you could try the discs on theirs.

You do have to make sure the disc is pressed down firmly on the spindle.

If not, contact your reseller and exchange them.

Hmm, not sure I know anyone who still has a ps2.

I got it from techwizad.com in the UK, they dont seem to want to reply to my emails...

Anyway, I've ordered a Memor32 so I'll go down that route instead.

Thanks for the advice.
