Depends how they ship it.... Most likely it will take around 3-5 days, maybe more if it is coming from over seas.

But i paid by credit card which makes it faster, no processing time like a check.

Well, if you do not know how to make backups of your ps2 games, check out this nice guide, http://webpages.charter.net/modchipzone/burningps2games.htm

Also, you may want to look into buying a flip top case for your ps2. You can find them on eBay for cheap.... But if you want to, you can use the cheap little slide card that may or may not come w/ your swap magic discs...

Did you get it with a Fliptop or slide card? i sure hope you got a fliptop my god it so easy now the slide card gave me hell but i was scared to open my ps2 at 1st but i got tired of the slide card so i got a fliptop much better mods are good but i can't mess with that right now.

P.S when you get some extra money i would get hdadvance with a 200gd harddrive and play your games from the harddrive that's the best to me.

simple answer:
If you have an old chunky PS2 then you will need a slide card and Swap Magic (or flip top which is easier by far). I can give you a link on how to make and use a slide card if needed. The DVD burner would be obvious, and good media. I suggest TDK,Philips,Verbatim
DVD-R

With the slim PSTwo you need a flip top (no not the one that comes on it) and Swap Magic.(or if not a flip top then Magic Switch/Ghost Switch/Slimtool, one of those to keep it from resetting when you open the top to swap

Or just get a good mod chip installed and don't worry about anything
(DMS4 Pro or Matrix Infinity)

Now the not so easy part.
if you do use Swap Magic there are some games (about 10%) that will not work with Swap Magic if you just burn them strait out.
You will either have to patch or rebuild the ISO.
So start reading up on those things because YOU WILL have to do it sometime if you use Swap Magic. A mod chip you will not.
Also if you want to play back up games online then they will also need to be patched (DNAS or something like that) if you do a search on these forums i am sure you will find all the information you need.

, That is not true, And if you have a ps2 slimeline take back the r- and get r+ verbatim disc are the best for ps2 game backups.If you use the r- you will have skips and bad audio on the r-disc,The ps2 slimeline will play your backups better on the r+ disc.
