Is your PS2 modded? If not it can't boot burnt discs. If it is modded, why are you using Swap Magic?

 

Swap Magic is sold as a pressed disc that an unmodded PS2 can read, which can then be swapped out for a backup. Burning a copy of Swap Magic itself is like missing the point entirely...

So....there is no way in which i can use a burnt disc without modding the PS2?

Well, since you have a slim ps2... either buy a modchip or purchase the Swap Magic. Eitherwise, I'd return it and buy a fat ps2. Then search for the "Indepence Exploit".

And yes you can run a burnt disc without modding the console if you have an original swap magic. Just invest on a real disc, you will only be doing it once.

 

You need an original swap magic to play games on a PS2 with no mod chip. Since a PS2 with no chip cannot read backups.

 

If you have a modded PS2 you dont need swap magic at all.

they got a swap magic for the ps3?

 

I wouldn't bet on it, Swap Magic, was made especially for the PS2 and the PS2 only. It's made to byspass the coding that PS2 games need to be recognized by an unmodded PS2. The PS3, however, even has trouble running a majority of PS2 games, PS3's backwards compatibility capabilities are trash.

There's a way now to play backups using a special kind of memory card . The Memor 32 has a buil in USB port and you cand transfer saves to and from the PC , among others . Also, you can install a software called Memento that runs backups without any modification .

that would be nice if the memor32 was available for under 60 bucks. might as well install a modchip for that price.

is there a great risk in modifying the PS2....if so i'll rather the swap magic...if not its easier to modify the game in my country...besides does the swap magic work with the 79001? Advise me!

Yeah stick with swap magic, anyone who's ever taken apart a PS2 knows they are built like garbage. (WTF is with the optical drive?!)

 

you actually CAN install a ELF loader or something like that to your memory card, which lets you boot burned games as long as the card as in, no swapping required, but you have to get it on the memory card using either a swap magic, or a modded PS2, so unless you know someone with either its kinda pointless. Theres one for HDLoader too. My PS2 refuses to read burned CDs though so I couldn't do it. (Its weird as hell, It reads DVDs, Burned DVDs, PS2 games, Burned PS2 games, PS1 games, and I think audio CDs, it might not I don't remember, but it wont read ANY CD-Rs or CD-RWs even if there is just audio on them, it just makes this clicking sound)
