well swap magic is basically an original printed disc that appears to the ps2 as an original ps2 game. Because it is an orginial the ps2 can authenticate the disc and then executes the code on the disc which allows you to insert a dvd or cd backup through either a no soldier modchip, the flip top method or the slide tray method. By doing this the ps2 has no idea that the disc was switched and therefore doesnt need to authenticate the disc again so it boots the backup. The swap magic disc has to be an original just incase you ask or are wondering you must buy this disc it cannot be copied succesfully as it has tracks on the cd and also other physical properties which cannot be burnt onto a dvd or cd using the writers we buy in shops.

You may be able to find a cop on P2P programs or bittorrent but i can assure you 100% that these do no work if you burn them. The only possible way it could be done is by having an actual mod chip first making swap magic absolutely pointless anyway.
