Who /swap magic/ here?
What was the game that got you to pick this up?
I feel bad for anons that had the slim model, the Tape and Tissue mod looked silly
>he hasn't heard of running games via Ethernet cable from your computer

>tfw excited to play Sly cooper 1 and 2 in japanese
>bought Swap magic for that reason
>lost interested in playing Sly 2 half way (the part where you break murray free from the contessa)
>instead just shitpost on 4chan all day
not sure if it's because i don't understand Japanese or if /v/ is an addiction itself.
007: Agent Under Fire

That's still a thing? I remember the PS1 version royally fucking up my PS1 by causing the internal spring to stretch out too much.
>>342550895
Man I remember my uncle showing me this and getting me one.
Dude had a huge thing of burned games and its how I experienced Tekken 5 and DBZ

>I feel bad for anons that had the slim model
lmao you wot?
We didn't need no dumb swap magic disk to keep swapping out burned games.
We just used that one 007 game to hack the console and install custom firmware.
Could play games over ethernet and from HDD's.

>Using swap magic more than once
>>342550895
I used the action replay method instead, and then installed Freemcboot.
>tfw hard-modded fat PS2
Bought this bad boy 10 years ago and it still works, the absolute madman.

>excited to play a game that was originally in English in Japanese
>don't speak Japanese
But why?
>>342552302
did that work for ps1 games though?
I did tape and tissue explicitly to play ps1 backups, you didn't need it for ps2 games. ps2 supported component video so it was better than ps1, if you don't mind swapping discs every boot.

>Swap Magic
>Not using a HDD
Bought a PS2, network adapter, and memory card for like 35$, and now I have all the games I want and more.

Wanted to give myself a CHALLENGE.
>>342550895
used it to play custom GH2 mods, had to manually make the slide card.
I just burn ESR patched games to DVDs with FMCB
works fine
>>342554671
matrix or thunder?
I still have mine too
>>342551467
I have tried this and
>Random load times, sometimes a couple of seconds other times a couple of minutes
>Desynched FMVs
>Music stops randomly
>Sometimes loading never ends
I wish i had a fat ps2 for HDD loading, i think im just gonna go the swapmagic method instead

dude, i have a slim ps2 and used the 007 agent under fire exploit to install free mcboot, you only need to block the sensors once for that. i can play ps1 and ps2 games through usb, backups, or over ethernet. swap magic is incredibly dated

>i can play ps1 and ps2 games through usb, backups, or over ethernet.
PS2 games sure
But PS1 games support is shit, you have to use shitty emulators to load from usb, hdd or ethernet and there is no way to use the native BC capabilities of the PS2

>not just installing matrix
>>342556798
PSXLauncher has worked for every single game i have wanted to play
>>342557084
also, i usually play ps1 games on my psp anyways
>>342557084
That still loads from a disc, you said you could play ps1 games from usb, hdd or ethernet
>>342557326
i was just listing the different methods besides disc swapping
