My question is: is there a way to play backed-up PS2 games on a PS2 without a modchip or some kind of flip-flop tip-top slider thingie. I mean a boot disc and a regular ps2. I am quite confused by all the different suggestions on the forum. Therefore this simple question.
This site will tell you what version you have, and if you have a 30004, then it should be a Version 4,5, or 6. Follow the instructions on their site to determine the EXACT model.
Well, It's either a V 1,2,3 or 4. There are 10 screws on the bottom so that points to a V 1,2 or 3. But the model number points to a version 4, but the lack of a screw inside the expansion bay and the lack of an electrical hazard warning points to it not being version 4. So I'm a bit unsure. Will the version 4-7 flip top work with my ps2 if it is a version 1,2 or 3 ?
If you have 10 screws it's definitely a v1-3 machine. v1-4 machines all have the same model #'s which is probably what is confusing you and no, you must buy a flip-top designed to fit a v1-3 machine.
Ok, thanks. Now, is it a good or a bad thing that i have an older model? Where can i buy a flip-top for my PS2? The shop above has only for v4 and upwards. Also, does swap magic 3.2 work with old models?
Older models seem to have more problems reading cheaper media than newer ones. Swap Magic 3.2 will work fine. Not sure where to get a flip-top for that model personally.
