I have just bought a new silver slimline PS2 so I believe this is the version 12 PS2.

My question is, I do not wish to install a chip so I will be going down the swap disc route. Now with my playstion already being a flip top do I need to change the lid or get these tools people are talking about? I notice the PS" lid opens half way before you have to open it by hand this leaves enough room to swap a disc does anyone know if you can get away with this or does it definately need the flip lid from swap magic. Ive also been reading about taping down a switch but cannot get into http://www.ps2ownz.com/ something to do with it not accepting my email adress for some reason and it isnt a hotmail one either. I will be happy backing up the disks as I will be using alcohol 120 its just the question about the lid im confused with.

Thanks for any help

John

I read about a new option just today athough I believe that it has been out for some time. It is a swipe card method. It is cheaper so it might be crap.

Thanks womble but it doesnt really answer my question. I am asking can you just use the swap magic disk without any other hardware by just lifting the original flip top on the slimline PS2 just enough to get a disk out and not tripping the switches?

No, the PSTwo will reset so you have to buy either
an aftermarket flip top, slimtool, or Magic Switch.
The slidecard is for the older chunky PS2 and will not
work with the slimline, it has no DVD drawer to open
like the old one.
You can usually get Swap Magic and the tool/fliptop as a
package deal.
there are tape mods and straw mods but you will have to search the
net to find out about them. I would just spend a few dollars,
get the right tools and do it right.
