Just Got A Ps2!

[yoyoyoyoyoyoyo]

I just got a PS2 and bought Swap Magic Coder 3.8. I will hopefully get it by Friday or Saturday. In the meantime im "backing" up some games. Does any one have some suggestions of games I should "backup"?

Also can you play emu's with swap magic?

Hey swap magic looks cool. I may consider buying a PS2 again now (my lil bro stole mine ). It says you need a non-solder modchip. How does that work?

The PS2 is a great deal right now. I have an XBox 360 and I honestly can't tell the difference between the PS2s graphics and the 360 (I am using a normal TV).

My must have PS2 games are:

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Gran Turismo 4
Final Fantasy XII


They are all PS1 sequals but still very good. The Eye Toy is great fun with some friends and a few drinks too as are those Sing Star games but the novelty does wear off after a while.

I don't know where you got that non-solder modchip thingy from, but Swap Magic is a commercial version of the "knife trick" you can use with the independence exploit. You boot up the Swap Magic disc, change the DVDs without opening the Playstation 2 and boot up the "backup".

The non-solder modchips, by the way, are said to be incredibly bad.

Final Fantasy X and XII. Avoid X-2, it is the lemonparty of the final fantasy series.

Swap Magic 3 MUST be used with easy no-soldier mod-chip -OR- Slide Tool / Flip Top Cover.

I don't know about Mod Chips, but as I said: You swith the DVD without opening the DVD drive. If you do open the drive, it will test the disc again, that's why you don't do it. There's a slide card (=knife trick) for the older, big models or some little metal glue-on thingies that depress the switches in the newer model.

It's really cheap and I have used it for about a year without any problems.

I don't have a Swap Magic, but I do have the Independence Exploit, and it's excellent. I can boot backups from my HDD, play homebrew, DivX, etc. etc. Also, the exploit allows me to boot 'backup' DVDs with a homemade knife-trick card (which I cut out of an old credit card and subsequently lost). There's a template somewhere, all you need to do is take the front off the drive and look for the pin.

Kingdom Hearts 1 + 2
Fifas are fun too

the swap magic i got is a dvd for dvd games, a cd for cd games and a swap tool, you have to remove the front plate off the disc tray, then load up swapmagic, stick the slide tool in on the right hand side, slide it across then pull, you then have to wrench the disc tray out, put your backup in, push in the disc tray, slide tool back in, this time from left to right, press 0, and the game loads up, i dunno if it messes the disc tray mechanism after prolonged use, but it dont sound too good when you pull it out. its totally different method for slimline though.

oh yeah, games i liked:

guitar hero 1-2 (fun even with just a pad)
mad maestro
metal gear solid 2
gregory horror show
amplitude/frequency
devil may cry series
res evil 4
parraper 2
tekken series

Does anyone know if you can run backups off of an ipod?

 

[Goity]

Nova lies, FFX-2 is an excellent game and a worthy sequel to FFX.

I would go further and say it is actually better than FFX, which is the worst FF game I have played.
