I have tried searching this whole forum but i can't seem to find an answer. If I format a 500GB external USB hard drive using the USBAdvance format tool will I be able to use all of the space or does the 127GB barrier apply or is that just a PC issue? Thanks for you help.

Hi everyone,

I am planning to buy magic keys II with Swap Magic disc v3.8

Is that enough to play games of external drives?

Can anyone tell me a reliable source from where I can buy the above?

If you cant post the links here you can PM me

Thanks a lot

ok, i've been trying to follow this forum, but sometimes i think it jumps to the fat ps2, and i need the slimline tutorial

so here is where i am at

I have a ps2 slimline
I have an external hard drive
I can obviously download stuff
I think I can get access to a ARMax
I have plenty of ethernet and usb's, but i don't think i have a usb flash drive specifically for the ps2.....will a regular one work?
I have plenty of PSX games

Anyway, I am willing to buy extra stuff if necessary



So here's the question(s)


1. Can the ARMax exploit work at all for the slimline? It seems to be the easiest and cheapest method by far of doing this, so this is the way I would prefer

2. And if not, what is the easiest way I could do this with a slimline



I'm sorry if these questions have been answered before in this forum, but I can't always tell which ps2 model they are talking about


Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Yes with SM 3.8 you can play all backups except for DVD9. I haven't come across a game yet that wouldnt play.

And if your planning on USB drive yes that will suffice there also, you would just need to follow the steps at the start of this thread.

Also keep in mind there are other methods instead of magic keys II.
There is a tape method, and a straw method described in this post:

thank you...will try the straw method
