the only problem i have with swap magic is that u have to use the boot cd everytime u wanna play a game. how much more would it cost if i use your method with the usb hard drive?

well usb hard drives are still quite dear, but u could get a normal hard drive and a usb case prob come to aba £100 and that would get u a much bigger hard drive than just gettin one already in a usb case, have a search on google an price them up, i use swap magic myself an its not that much of a biggy usin the swap method only takes a few secs its really upto you

ive also been told i could just boot swap magic from the memory card. if thats the case then i dont really need a modchip.

yeah thats the memory card exploit its not as easy as it sounds, ive tried it a few times without any sucess, theres a few guides on it tho have a search an see what u think, also i think u need to boot a ps1 game each time but could be wrong on that part
