so ya, im going to be picking up a ps2 soon from gamestop(slim version) with modding it somehow in mind
ive looked up and learned a decent bit about the whole process, and as of right now im leaning towards the swap magic route with the flip top
the only disadvantages ive learned of swap magic are having to swap disks(obviously, but its not a big issue for me), not compatible with dvd9 games, although from what i looked at, the only dvd9 games id want to play are the god of wars and gran turismo 4(but ive heard you can pack it or something to make it work, i duno, i have to look more into that)
so are there any other real disadvantages of going with swap magic rather than a chip( i dont have any expereince with soddering and i dont think i really know too many people who do)?
will i be able to use snes-station with swap magic?
what are the best dvds to burn backups on(brand? dvd-r or dvd+r?)
I did not hear about these programs, fmcb and ESR when i was looking up on all of this
so i need a usb flash drive to use these programs right?
i plan on putting snes-station on a disk, as with all my back ups, and thats really the only things i plan to do, do i need these programs?
because of now im almost leaning toward the chip since i found a reasonably reliable guy online(has some good feedback and i talked to him a bit) selling pre-chiped ps2's for a good price(compared to other ridiculously priced places) @ http://www.sell.com/23S7WZ
