wow $45 seems a lot but im in uk so not sure, it will play most games and any that dont will only need a simple rebuild or a patch, i suggest u shop round to find the best price, also ive heard that the new swap magic coder has had problems with certain games, i personally use swap magic 3.6
this site seems a bit cheaper for swap magic http://www.modchipstore.com/ps2-boot-discs-hd-loader-swap-magic-b...

It will play next to everything you play. As the site states, it is compatible with about 99% of each PS2 game out there. And all the ones I have downloaded/backed up (85+) have worked perfectly. You Must make sure you buy high quality media such as Verbatim or Taio Yuden from http://www.supermediastore.com or some other reputable site, otherwise you may pick up fakes.

No problem.

Look here - http://www.swapmagic3.com/slidetool.htm

And here's a video to using it - http://www.swapmagic3.com/slidetool-demo.zip

Swap Magic with the slide tool is what I use, and it's very reliable and has never let me down.

Depends. If you feel comfortable opening up your console to fit another case on, then great, if not, then use the slide tool method.

By the way, you can get it cheaper than $45 at - http://www.memtechsolutions.net it's about £15 with the slide tool and they provide excellent service. And you can get your verbatim discs, at - http://www.svp.co.uk if you can't buy them locally.

I would suggest the following site for swapmagic and fliptop
http://www.clearxbox.com

for a black fliptop case & Swapmagic it's $36 but if you don't care about the color of the fliptop you can get solid white or Solid blue fliptop swapmagic combo for $30
