I recommend a flip-top kit with swp magic discs,
THAT way you have less chance of damaging your ps2.
For the price of ONE GAME you can get sm discs and flip-top kit.
And you have LESS chance of damaging your system.

But alas it is possible but Not recommended by me.

HOW TO: Load Backups using Action Replay Max


- Action Replay Max PS2 CD
- Max Media Creator PC software (comes with ARMAX)
- 2 blank CD-Rs

To start off, the PS2 ?program? you?re going to use to load your backups is called cogswaploader. It?s a 57KB elf file you can download from here: http://www.exploitstation.com/index.php?page=elfs

you dont need a flip top for the slim ps2 thats bad advice, depending on what version your ps2 is u will either need swap magic and either slim tool, or magic keys, there could be anotha1,

what i would suggest is, take your ps2 somewhere and get it chipped by a pro. I don't know if its legal to post up company names here so I won't but you can go to ps2scene.org and there are numerous professional installers there, that do proffessional jobs with the #1 chips eg, Matrix infinity or crystal chip not crappy clones like at flea markets. If your still sceptical check out teh modchip section of the forum and theres like 50+ pages of pictures of real proffesional installs.
