Hi, thanks for looking. I've been looking around a bit for information on PS2 booting with the Swap Magic disc and Flip Top Cover. I have a few questions about them, and if anyone knows the answer, it would be greatly appreciated.

1. Is using the Swap Magic discs with flip top cover the best way to play ps2 backups without involving soldering?

2. Could using those two damage my ps2 in any way?

3. Would the Swap Magic discs would able to play backups of future ps2 games?

4. How difficult is it to play DVD-9 dvds with the swap disc? I read you have to some shrinking to a single layer dvd?

Thanks for the help.

1. Yes
2. Only if you do something stupid while fitting the new cover.
3. Yes
4. Cant boot dual layer games, they need to be rebuilt to fit onto DVD5. There's plenty of guides on doing this in the PS2 DVD backup Discussion forum.

1. So is flip top cover is better than the slide card in every way, other than being a little harder to install? I have heard the slide card can damage the Ps2 tray. Oh, I forgot to mention before, but I have the fat PS2 SCPH-39001, NTSC version (United States)

2. Also, to play backups of ps1 games I would need something called breaker pro right?

3. Are there PAL and NTSC versions of Swap Magic/Breaker Pro that I would need to look for specifically?

4. Can anyone recommend a reputable and popular website where I can buy all these things?

5. Are non-solder ps2 modchips just a bad idea?
