I know that you guys don't really "approve" of this method of playing backup PS2 games. But, it's all I could afford for now, and I don't trust myself to solder a chip in. Anyway, here is my question. As I said, I am using the Swap Magic Disc. I have just ordered my THIRD disc. I keep getting scratches across the bottom of the disc, causing it to not be able to load up. I tried to make a backup of this disc, but my system will not allow it!!! Any suggestions on this, to save me from buying a new swap disc all the time? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

lol, only thing I can suggest is to keep it out of reach buddy.
There's no way of backing it up simply because you can't back up an original. If you could you wouldn't need it in the first place!

The swap magic discs are made in China. Underneath the nice swirly lines is the read in code for a gameshark/action replay 2 depending on your area. Clever huh?

If all else fails then plonk him in front of the TV with a disney film. Always made me behave :rolleyes:

and even if you could back on up as said above, it wouldn't boot anyway - you'd just get an RSOD.

Not trying to be mean or rude RSX but havent you learned anything from this?? For the 60 or 70 bucks you already spent on 3 swap disc Spedmetal at www.norcalmods.com Probably could have hooked you up with a no swap chip and you wouldnt be having this problem.

You're right. But, like I said. I don't trust my soldering skills enough to install a chip.

You wouldn't have to if you'd have sent it to Sped for that $60-$70 :)
