Hi All..

Iv just picked myself up a cheap fat ps2, Iv done a lot of searching and found that I can use something called Swap Magic to load backup games.

I can't however seem to find a decent tutorial anywhere..Im not sure if im looking in the wrong places or what.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You put swapmagic DVD in, wait it to start, poke the tray open with slide card (not the open button), swap burned disk in and play. Annoying to do every time you start a game and it sure ain't doing anything positive to your PS2 if you forcefully crank open the tray with spinning disk in.

So basicly this is what you have to do EVERY time you put a copied disk in.

I have Swap Magic, but i bought it only to install Free MC Boot on my memory card which removes the need to swap disks completely. I'd suggest you do the same if you ever buy it.

Ahhh thats fair enough... Where is the most reliable place to buy swap magic? Iv seen quite a few websites but they all look dodgy lol.

I just want to know where others have used.

depends a lot upon where you live

modchip.ca, gocybershop.ca, foundmy.com, estarland are all good.
