I have a fat ps2, and I just got swap magic 3.6 with slide tool.

I found this tutorial here that says how to remove the front cover:
http://www.modpiiri.com/asennusohjeet/sw...2363a54ac60d8a7

But I waned to know how many screws are there exactly? I know there is one screw on the right hand corner (when you flip the ps2 over). Is that the only screw I have to remove?

Lol, no, not the 8 screws on the base of the ps2, I am talking about how many screws are there specifically to remove the ps2 front panel loading tray so I can insert the swap magic disk tool.

2 very small ones, you'll need a thin tipped knife, or a VERY small screwdriver.

Ok, I figured it out. It turns out there is only one screw in the right hand corner. Once you screw it off, then there are two clips, one on the left side and another on the right side. Once you pry both clips off, then the panel comes off.
