I have recently bought swap magic 3.whatever and the swap card. So far it seems they work 100%. I can play burnt ps2 games no problems, even when I burn an image. But psx games is where I have trouble. I have tried every way I can think of and yet to no avail. The swap magic thingy says "Not a ps2 game" or something. Is there anyone who can help me?
edit: I can't make burnt images work. Direct copies work fine, but images wich i d/l off the internet are giving me trouble.

Breaker pro? And you are sure this program will work? I'm only asking as your answer was a
bit vague.
edit: Oh dude, I don't think you understand my problem. I just found out what breaker pro
was and I don't need it. My problem is with the programs I use to burn PSX discs, not my
hardware.

Um, yeah you do need breaker pro. Swap magic cant boot psx games. You have to buy breaker pro (or a certain gameshark) also to boot them.

Oh right, shows how much I know. Can I use a copied version or do I need to use a real one?

Is it worth it to get the breaker pro thing? Has anyone else here bought it here and found it to be useful?

I'm guessing that the gameshark thing has to not be a copy, right?

I'm not a big expert with gameshark but, maybe you can use swap magic to boot up a backup of gameshark then boot up breaker pro backup??? but, why even bother with the gameshark? just get the breaker pro since you can just use a burned disc of it in conjuction with swap magic. Also, I left my first answer vague so you can do a little research on the subject and since it's the only thing you really do need to solve your problem I didn't think I needed to make it all drawn out (sort of like this) :)

I'd rather you'd have drawn it out, since some wankers only post small posts to quickly increase their post count. Thats why I was being a little bitch :)
But anyway, it's a day later and I know exactly what I have to do. So thanks all you guys, I guess a mod can close this thread now.

Now that I think about it, I think there is a program you can put on your memory card that will boot psx backups without buying anything else (I don't remember the name of the program though, sorry).

A BreakerPro is like the SwapMagic of PlayStation 1 games.
Just remember this simple formula: CD-based PS2game= SwapMagic CD. DVD-based PS2game= SwapMagic DVD. PlayStation 1 game= BreakerPro.
non-modchip solutions:
For fat PS2, use fliptop or slidetool.
for slim PS2, use magic keys/magic switch/tape+tissue mod or fliptop.
Burn games slow, use good media.

That pretty much sums up this entire thread, though I don't think I'll have to resort to that "formula" any time soon (or ever) :).
