3. open the ps2, and expose the cd drive.
4, take the top off to expose the disc tray
5, put it back on and put a semi, heavy object on top like a paperweight
7. when the playstation logo comes up on the screen, take the semi heavy object off, and swap cd's from the ps1 disc to the burnt disc with the exploit on it.
12.this is very difficult and you may need to try this about 20 times before it works,

thanks

Not only dangerous to both you (risk of electrocution) and your PS2 but it seems like a lot of hassle. Your better of with swap magic.

You can use special rubber gloves/boots to ground the electricity. But I don't wanna risk my Ps2.

okay,
1 I never said swap magis in not available, i said it just wasn't made
anymore
2 you place a heavy object on your ps2 not in it
3 there is vitually no risk of electrocution, because steps 2-7 are exactly the same thing to a flip top lid
4 You don't even need to do steps 2-7, I found out later that you can just swap the discs using the knife trick at the boot menu where it shows your memory card and whatever disc you put in. I tried this once, it worked so the modding process actually does work, even without opening your ps2

It has to be the fatty ps2

The idea is that if the disc that loads cogswap onto the memory card is in ps1 format, then it can be swapped easily, either at the ps1 logo or the boot menu, if it is ps2 format then it's a lot trickier, you have to swap the disc at the ps2 logo, before it disapears. this is virtually impossible with the knife trick (i can do about a 3 second swap and it still doesn't work), even a flip top lid may not be fast enough

There is an alternative though, if you have or a friend has a slimline ps2, then you can block all three sensors (yes there are three, not just two) to trick the slim one into thinking the lid is open, it is easy to swap a ps2 or ps1 disc at the right time.

You're probably thinking "But the ps2 slimline doesn't run the memory card exploit" this is true, but it doesn't need to, it just needs to load it onto a memory card once on a memory card, you can put that mem card in the fat ps2 and cogswap works! you can then copy cogswap off your memory card onto all your friends memory cards and you can all play burnt games (cogswap will be part of the system configuration file)

The problem with cogswap is that you need to run the disc to put it on the memory card which is a burnt disk and cogswap is the program that is supposed to let you play bunt discs, if you can't play it the first time, well you're experiencing a very common problem.

Also, I don't have any pics of it working Because if you read the thread title it's "can anyone TEST this free way of modding" rather than "Here is a free way of modding" spot the difference.
