usb hd loader isn't worth your time since its slow (ps2 usb is 1.1 not 2.0) to give to a example, games with videos would be out of sync and some games load longer then using a dvd-r. with swap magic you still need a way to trick the eject/opening the top (once you eject/pop the top, it will recheck the disc) so be sure to get either a fliptop or the slimfix tool.
