About a month ago i bought a Swap Magic,Flip Top, and a Breaker Pro...And i Had So MANY PROBLEMS...but i managed to get everything to work...so i wrote this guide here to help other people therefore they wont have as many problems as i had.

Swap Magic.

Swap Magic is a CD Based Modchip for the PS2 that can boot PS2 and PSX(PS1) Backups.

Q.)Swap Magic doesnt boot backups but my ps2 loads ps2 originals.
A.)1. When you insert the backup useing the Flip Top cover make sure the disc is properly inserted correctly and not just inserted half way.
2. Make sure the Backup Disc is clean.
4. Your Lens May Need Reapir,Refer to Lens Repair Section.

Q.)Swap Magic DVD Disc Wont Boot my DVD Backup.
A.)1.Swap Magic DVD does not work so well for some games,instead of useing the Swap Magic DVD disc just use the CD instead, It Works bettter.
To use the Swap Magic CD to boot DVD Games Do the Following:

1.Eject the CD tray and insert the Swap Magic CD Disc.
2.Reset your PS2 and wait till Swap Magic loads Up
3.When you see the Swap Magic Screen that saids "Load Game" along with the video settings(Pal or NTSC) eject the PS2 cd tray and take out the Swap Magic CD and and the screen will now say Refresh TOC
4.Now insert a PS2 DVD Original Game(Silver Bottom) With a High TOC(check your ps2 games on the computer and see which is the biggest game you have in size)
4.after it goes back to the Swap Magic Screen Open the PS2 Flip Top Cover and insert the DVD Backup, After This The screen should turn red and the game will start.

Swap Magic Wont Load My Backup Game

A.)1.If your game does not load your game may have burned wrong. When you burn a game always burn it at the lowest speed possible.if your game still doesnt load try using a better type of media.
Note:if you are using DVD+R Media try useing DVD-R Media instead because some PS2 Versions do not read DVD+R.If it is a CD Game(under 700MB) burn it useing 8X useing DAO Mode.(Disc At Once)

2.Still Doesnt Load? your game may need a CD Loader to load up the game.to get a cd loader go to www.swapmagicfix.com. after it has downloaded extract the CD Loader to a folder. after the files extract burn the file to a disc use a image burn.DO NOT BURN IMAGE TO A CD USEING A DATA CD BURN.you have to burn the file to a cd useing a image burn because this file is a cd that is compressed into a file.when it is burned it is decompressed and made into a cd.

4.If The game you are trying to burn is a DVD Rip you will need to buy a Breaker Pro CD to make this game work.

5.If this game was downloaded from the internet it may be a bad Copy...DO NOT DOWNLOAD Games From The Internet For the Following Reasons.
1.It Is ILLEGAL to download games of the internet.
2.They are not always gauranteed to work.
3.They are most likely to end up as another game than the one it saids it is.

Q.)My Swap Magic CD Or DVD Disc Wont Read AT ALL!
A.)1. try loading it on someone elses PS2,if it still doesnt work you may have a defected Swap Magic Disc. Contact The company in which you purchased your Swap Discs for a Exchange.
___________________________________________________

Breaker Pro

Breaker Pro is for PS2 and PS1 and is used to boot PS1 Imports Or Backups.It Can also be used to load DVDRips with Swap Magic.

To Boot DVD Rips Do the Following:
1.Insert Swap Magic CD,Reset PS2.
2.After The Swap Magic Screen Loads Up EJECT The PS2 CD Tray And The Screen Will Now Say Refresh TOC
3.Now Insert Your Breaker Pro CD and wait a while.
4.The Swap Magic Screen Will Now Come Back And It Will Say "Not A Valid Game" Or something simular at the bottom of the screen, dont worry cause that is normal and is supposed to happen.
5.Now Using The Flip Top Cover, Swap The Breaker Pro With Your DVDRip and press X, now the game should boot.

To boot PSX(PS1) Backups and imports do the following.
1.Insert the Break Pro CD Using The PS2 CD Tray.
2. reset The PS2 And wait till the Breaker Pro Shows a blue Screen With Selections On It.

~~~~LENS REPAIR~~~~

If your PS2 is still haveing problems reading PS2 Originals or backups after cleaning the lens and keep getting the "Disc Read Error" Message, then this is your answer, these are simple itructions on how to fix your PS2 to read better,this is good because is saves you money on haveing to buy a New PS2 Lens which is somewhere around $100.

Flip Top Users:
1.Turn On Your PS2.
2.Eject The PS2 Tray And Turn Off Your PS2.
3.Open The PS2 Flip Top Cover Adn You Should be able to see the lens and everything around it.
4.look for a little white round dial that may be partially covered,
5.after you have located this dial Mark where it is set at with a marker or pencil.
6. Now keep turn the dial counter clockwise until it the Ps2 lens drops(you will see the lens module go down).Now turn on your ps2 and insert the ps2 game that used to say "Disc Read Error",does the game load? if it does then you are done. If it does not load then you need to turn the dial some more.keep turning the little dial and checking if the cd reads. it may take a while to find the spot on the dial so that it can read properly, but it is worth the time since it saves you money on buying a new PS2 Lens.

NON SWAP MAGIC USERS

1.Unplug all wires atached to the ps2 system
2.Turn your PS2 upside down.
3.Remove all screw covers on the bottom of your PS2.
4.Remove all 8 or 10 screws with a phillips screw driver(remember where the long and small screws belong,mark them somehow if that helps to remember where they belong)
5.remove the top cover of the PS2.
6.Now you will see the ps2 drive(black with a white circle in the middle)now remove the lens cover plate(it is black and has a total of 6 screws).
7.Turn On Your PS2.
8.Eject The PS2 Tray And Turn Off Your PS2.
9.Open The PS2 Flip Top Cover Adn You Should be able to see the lens and everything around it.
10.look for a little white round dial that may be partially covered,
11.after you have located this dial Mark where it is set at with a marker or pencil.
12. Now keep turn the dial counter clockwise until it the Ps2 lens drops(you will see the lens module go down).Now turn on your ps2 and insert the ps2 game that used to say "Disc Read Error",does the game load? if it does then you are done. If it does not load then you need to turn the dial some more.keep turning the little dial and checking if the cd reads. it may take a while to find the spot on the dial so that it can read properly, but it is worth the time since it saves you money on buying a new PS2 Lens.

Hopefully this will help alot of people from going through all the trouble that i gone through with my PS2 and the swap magic discs.This Took a long time to write and hopefully it'll prevent people from haveing as many problems as i had,

Hey guys, new to this site. I have a couple of questions.

I own an NTSC slim PS2, purchased in summer/fall 2006. The model number is SCPH-75001. I don't know what the V is. I am considering purchasing a version of Swap Magic in order to play imported games, specifically the Japanese version of Final Fantasy X International. Quick question: would the following Slim Tool and Swap Magic 3.6 Combo be enough for this task? The product page implies that everything you need is all right there, but now I've been hearing about "Magic Keys." Would I need that in addition? Secondly, would this work with my model of PS2? The product page states that its "compatible with the
new Slim SCPH-700xx V12 PS2." My PS2 model number (and possibly V) is higher than that, so will it still work? Thanks.

I have a question regarding my 77001b, V15 PS2 Black Slim: what can it run? I want to buy either a SM 3.6 or a SM 3 CODER that works up to V13, but I don't know if either of those work. Therefore, I come to ask before I make an uneducated purchase. With that said, I want to word these following questions in such a way as to where the only possible answers are yes or no and replying with "I have -such and such- but this isn't related to your questions" may or may not help me: can I use SM 3.6 or SM 3 CODER on a V15 Slim? And will Magic Keys V3 fix the "key 3" problem?

I'd REALLY appreciate an answer to both of my questions as I am begging to play Final Fantasy X: International and Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+, especially Re: Chain of Memories.

Any idea what version the SCPH-79002 is? I'm guessing it'll be around V17. Also, any idea if MagicKeys or Magic Switch definitely works with this model? Cheers

Its a V18 from what I gather on the net.
Take a look inside the fliptop and see if like the picture of the V14 above.

Well my one definitely has the metal tab as in the picture of the V14. It seems like people and manufacturers don't really care too much about the newer versions of the PS2 since its almost coming to an end. I still have the modchip solution I guess, although I really don't want to void my warranty.
Thanks anyway.
