Hello,

I've been thinking about buy Magic Swap and the PS2 Flip-top for some time now and I was wondering where I could buy one. It seems that to most of the websites I go to that it might be a potential scam. Could someone point me in the right direction as to where I could get them?

A link to more than one site would be great.

Unfortunately, no one who lives in my neighborhood knows anything about this. It seems that I am the only person who is interested in it around here.

I've been reading threads around here and noticed that people are asking for where they could send in their PS2 to get it modded. And people have posted links to where they could get that serviced. I didn't think that asking for where I could buy a flip-top is any different.

I know this is a bit old of a topic, but I just wanted to ask another question.

I did recieve my Flip-top and Swap Magic discs and it works great. Well, not exactly great. I have a little bit of a problem. My PS2 is able to read the Swap Magic CD without a problem. However the Swap Magic DVD could sometimes take 1 to 15 tries to get it working. Sometimes it'll go to the PS2 logo as if it were going to start working but will freeze instead.

Could you please provide any tips or hints on how I could fix this?

That's the strange part. I could still play original PS2 games, and DVD movies flawlessly.

Try cleaning your laser with a Q-tip and rubbing Alcohol.

74. Q. I turn on my PS2, the disc spins and makes a "clicking" sound. It says "disk read error" in my browser, what do I do?
A. This could be a sign your laser is dirty or scratched. Clean it with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol if you think it might be dirty, also be sure to check it for scratches. Fat PS2 v.1-11: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Guides/ps2diy/ Consult the links listed earlier in this thread for info. This could also be a sign your game is dirty or scratched. You can clean it with rubbing alcohol and a lint free cloth or tissue. Only apply a couple drops of rubbing alcohol on the disc, 4 or so evenly spaced. You may want to use an eye dropper for this. Rub it with a lint free cloth or tissue in a non circular pattern until it's dry. Your other option is to buff out the surface scratches with on the disc with a "Game Doctor." I came across a $20 Memorex cleaning device at Wal-Mart which basically does the same thing. It worked wonders for my scratched Breaker Pro disc. The Game Doctor will set you back around $40. If the scratches are too deep, this won't make any difference. If you get the "clicking" sound with a backup, all these same things apply. Also MAKE SURE that your not using cheap media. Again check the links posted earlier in this FAQ. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/240341
