i know this has probably been asked and answered, but ive read all kinds of stuff and looked at all kinds of sites and its a little confusing.

whats the best thing for the 75001 to play backed up games? i like the magic keys 2 but have seen different pictures for MK2 both saying they work for this version.. i dont know what is what

ive got the little metal piece near the hinge to block the insertion of the piece, so is the -only- way to use MK2 to remove that piece or is there a version of MK2 that will work without modification?

ive also seen some people say that one of the older versions of swap magic was better than the newest because it supported more games, how true is this and how does it really affect things? will the older one support some random ass game that i wont even play whereas the new one will play the ones i intend to play? i know this is a loaded question because who knows what im going to play.... lol

also, final question, cheapest place to get MK2 and swap magic if thats what im going to get? ive seen the magic keys for like $3 somewhere, and other sites have them for $15, ive seen the swap magic for like $20, and others $35... theres so many sites and who knows which are legit.. i just want them cheap, plan on getting 2 sets (me & friend) so i dont want to spend a crap load if i can help it

thanks and try not to flame me too hard ;)

Take a half a straw(cut it down the middle end to end) and stick it down between the metal piece and the black plastic hinge. Then you can cut the excess of the straw and pull it out to see how long it should be for future reference.

-EDIT This is just a free alternative to the third key that doesnt run the risk of short-circutting.
