Hi, I have psTWO with swap magic 3.6/flip top.
I got back-up of action replay max evo and it loads up fine, but when I choose the code and put back-up games it just show black screen. Here Is what I done:

1)Put SM 3.6 CD version to boot up ARMAX
2)Choose the code then swap it with SM 3.6 DVD version
3)when SM menu pops I swap with back-up game and boot it.(tried both X and Squre boot method)
4)it just shows black screen..

humm, can anyone help me? I'm using the official codes

well I seen that method like million times...

I HAVE psTWO (Slim model) so it's not version 1-10, Think Slim is 12.

And I have latest SM 3.6 Version so I don't think I need cdloader

etc since That is for games that are using SM 2 or before version.

So can anyone help me? not just copy/paste old method from other forum. Thanks

"DVD Loader is simply CD Loader ported for burning on DVDR for use with the Swap Magic 2.0 DVD disc."
