Old ps2 and swap magic

[wicky]

I have one of the real old bulky ps2's and want to buy swap magic to play some japanese games, which version of swap magic will i need as I keep seeing references to flip tops and it's confusing me

thanks much

Swap Magic 3.6, either with a flip-top or a slide card.

You need to use both the swap magic set of discs, AND one of the two accessories, so look for a combo deal.

Personally I would recommend the slide card. I use it myself and it's very easy to use, as long as you're careful and don't yank the drive tray out or anything.

It should come with instructions.

thanks much, it seems rather confusing...

tempted to purchase a modded ps2 if anyone is selling

I've you've got a network adaptor, shove a hard drive in and use the Independance Exploit instead.

Unless the game you want to play doesn't work with it.

swap magic is about as unconfusing as things can get (without a mod anyway). Put in the swapmagic DVD, grab your disk tray out with the tool, put in the game you wanna play, push the tray back in, hit X. Done!
