I'm trying to burn imbnes to my modded PS2. My PS2 doesn't read any games in PS1 format though. I read it's possible to load a PS1 cd on a PS2 with some type of boot disc. Can anyone clue me in here and give me a link or something so I can play PS1 games?

Thanks.

True, the PS2 Swap magic cd will not load a PS1 backup. You could try a gameshark, i hear they work.

Newer gamesharks don't work
You need Gameshark Lite
or Breaker Pro
or Gameshark 2 v2 for PS1
or Action Replay disc for PS1.

There's probally more but I don't no about them.

I have gameshark lite
and Gameshark 2 v2 for PS1.
(Get them from Ebay est. $5)

I don't have the newest PS2 I have 70012.
My friend has the newest PS2 and Gameshark lite don't work!
(I Don't no about the other one's)

Yes you would need a slidy thing or a fliptop on your Fat PS2 to play PS1 games.
How to perform the swop trick using the Action Replay 2 cheat cartridge (only for PSX/PS1 backups) works on UK/US PS2.

Remove the front of the disk drive tray (above) insert your action replay 2 into one of the memory card slots, turn on your PS2 and insert disk 2 of the disks that come with the AR2. Flick through the boot screens and select any cheats you may want etc. When you get to the screen that prompts you to open your PS2 and insert your games disk. DO NOT press the eject button, instead, use the 'cog' method (above) to open the drive. Once you have got the disk out, swap disks for a PS1/PSX backup. Firmly push the tray all the way in and close the tray, making sure you turn the cog or move the white pin, until the disk is locked in. At no point upto now should you have touched the eject or power button.
Now you may change the AR2 for your PS1/PSX memory card, if you wish.
Hit the 'X' button and play!!
Takes about 30 seconds to do, so although it might be a bit of grief doing it for every game, it might save your guarantee.

How to remove front cover:

You can make your own slide card by using a piece of hard plastic like a credit card or something similar.

Or watch videos on youtube on how to play PS1 games on your PS2.

And you have successfully played PS1 games with Swap Magic then.
Their main site had stated this, but it does not work that I know of.
I have tried with SM 3.8 and it does not work.

I already stated the main site said that. Funny the majority of people on Afterdawn have tried it also, and didn't work for them either, that is why there are a few alternative methods posted here to play PS1 games or just use Breaker Pro.
All I can say is good for you it works then. What games have you successfully played with Swap Magic and what version Swap Magic do you have. What model PS2 do you have.

My ps2 was about 5 years old before it died and it was the an early version of Swap Magic.
All im saying is use the CD provided and not the DVD.
Try games like resident evil 1-3 mortal combat 3,i could go on but there is no point.
Plus i could use resident evil 2 to boot copied games via the cog swap method.
