I have had swap magic 3.6 for awhile now and I was just kinda messing around with things and tried launching some apps off of my micro sd card (with usb converter). I figured out by putting a folder called SWAPMAGIC on my micro sd card and then naming an app to SWAPMAGIC.ELF instead of swap magic loading swap magic, it loads the .elf file (I used Ulauncher, SNES Station, and SMS media player so far and got them both working 100%) So I was wandering if I could just use swap magic to boot up HDloader .elf file that I got from sksapps.com and hook up a hard drive to play my games and apps (mostly be using snes station and SMS media player apps wise anyways) I dont wanna just go out and get a hard drive disk and come to the conclusion it doesnt work cuz for 1 thing im kinda tight with money right now. Please tell me if this will or could possibly work. Heres a more clearer recap of what I would like to do.

- Get hdloader.elf onto my micro sd card (using the usb converter)
- Launch hdload via swap magic 3.6 with usb stick in ps2 (possibly put it on memory card with Ulauncher)
- play games and load apps from hard drive

Reasons to do this
1. games lag on snes station with the cd
2. sms media player happens to find all my cds "illegal"
3. wasted over 20 dvd-rs trying to make a bug free hack of ITG
4. convenience of not having to swap or having a buttload of dvds and cds
5. never have to buy dvd-r or cd-rs for ps2 use
