Hi, I've just bought a SwapMagic3 plus version 3.6 through eBay in an attempt to play an imported game. That game being Narultimate Hero 2 for the PS2. Having barely able to read through the major lack of instructions I got to be able to use this product, and after about 5 attempts I started to look online. Thier website has to be the worst thing I've seen in my life. Now, I come to this website so, If anyone can help, heres the problem...

Ok, well I have a somewhat beat up old version of the PS2 and a very good new slim version. Since I got the swap magic that came with only a CD boot disk and a slide tool with a cheap imitation of instructions, I had to use it on my old PS2. My PS2 works fine so it seems thats not the problem. I managed to find out some instructions so heres what I did. First, I took off the front of the disc drive on the PS2, then, I waited for it to come to the part were it says "load program" and "Video mode". It says a whole bunch of other things that I don't understand like, the difference between special boot and normal boot plus the Video mode can be changed from Pal to Normal to something else too. Can anyone help me load my Imported game? Thanks.

ok, do you know how to use the slide tool?

you insert the slide tool "in between" the actual moveable tray and the ps2 body.

[-------------] <-here is the tray
<-space in between the tray and the body(as slim as your slide tool...
------------------- <ps2 body

your tool is very slim because the space is narrow(very).

so you insert it into the space when "the screen" shows up. yes, the screen after "Playstation 2"

slowly push it to the right end, you should see the tray come out a bit, now you pull the tray out gently and swap the Swap disc with "come come paradise" disc.(Naruto Joke... :) ). DONT PUSH THE TRAY BACK IT YET!

Here is the tricky part, you can either push the tray fast in, that way the tray will lock it self OR

push the tray back in gently, insert the slide tool again. move it all the way to the right, pull it a tiny pit out until you can move the slide tool to right even further(how much? you have to feel it) move the slide tool back in again.

Your slide tool should have a hook on it. now with your slide tool in the most right position and fully inserted, pull gently to the left. you should feel something and even hear it. The tray is now locked

Press (x) to play!!!!!
The square button is for swapping additional software boot etc...

I hope this helps.
