I don't see anywhere on the swap magic site that it says will play PS1 backups. Which site were you on.
We have a couple threads here on how to play PS1 backups depending what version pS2 you have. Read through this thread:

Well your right its there, I don't recall it being there before,unless there is some new method of booting PS1 games with it.
Do a google search and you will see that no one else has gotten PS1 games to boot with swap magic. Gameshark will boot PS1 games.

Ok I tried the PS1 backup with my Swap Magic 3.8 CD and all I get is the green color, and then nothing. Green means its ok, but having trouble reading the disc.
This is from the swap magic official site.
Just scroll down a bit where it asks if Swap magic will play PS1 backups. The answer is no.

Q. Does Swap Magic work with PSX backup and/or import games?
A. Pure and simple NO! The Swap Magic Discs are designed to give the best possible performance for PlayStation2 games only. PSX games has not been considered at all in the development, and will not be in the future! To play PSX backups, you will need another backup solution, and should not choose the Slide-Tool.

that has been there forever ish, i know swap magic din't play psx backups,

but then all of a sudden they are now saying that it does so i don't know

I know, they must have made a typo or something.
I just use the psxlauncher if I want to play PS1 backups, or the ulaunch.elf depending which PS2 I am using.

On a V3 no it won't work sorry, you would need breaker pro disk or a gameshark disk to boot PS1 backups.

You need Breaker Pro for PS1 games. It's like Swap Magic except only for PS1 games.
