Prican25 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 the magic discs aren't a good idea to get cuz its not just a simple swap, you have to eject the door by hand using either a chipped off credit card (they sell these as slide cards, big rip-off) or a plastic knife (mcdonalds anyone? ) and then put in the game disc. they also sell a fliptop case for older ps2's which the top filps open for easy access to swap but its a very very ugly case. magic swap discs are also known not to play all games especially dvd-rips (dvds ripped down to cd size). if you got an older ps2 and can or know someone who can solder very small points, definitly get a duo mod. www.foundmy.com sells them for $21 + shipping. there are other mods but like i mentioned in my last post all of them play games except for certian flaws in magic 3/3.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdy Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 (edited) but why don't chip makers make the newer chips compatible with older ps2's anymore? Wouldn't that make them more money by selling a lot more? ah screw it, I'll just buy that swap magic thing Edited March 9, 2004 by Weirdanzeige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prican25 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 swap magic doesn't work on ps1 games, just ps2. also if you got a 30001 (it can be v1-v4) get either duo or messiah 2. believe me you're better off getting a mod tho it takes a pro to do it if you never soldered anything with small points.

kurupter13 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 no u cant use the cd to play ps1 games. u have to buy Breaker pro.if u cant soldered then buy the disks if u can or know someone then get a mod. i cant afford to mess up my ps2 that why i got the disk.

Weirdy Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 yeah, I'll just get the breaker pro for now, then later I'll get the swap magic. I would hate to ruin my ps2's board by soldering w/the wrong type of soldering tool(especially if its the kind with a lot of voltage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iq_132 Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 Well, I decided I'd spend the money after all and get a DMS3 V2. I'll be installing it in a week or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
