Nope it's not modded,

I know what you guys all think about the swap magic discs so I know I'm gonna get flamed but here's the lowdown.

My first ps2 was a v4 with messiah one in, lasted a decent amount of time then died. Everyone on the forum stated that on my next machine I should get the Magic 3.1 (Which if I had of done I would have no doubt encountered the Kingdom Hearts/GTA VC syndrome rendering the machine useless for these games (Whether backup or not).......I saw two of my mates machine with this syndrome and to say it pissed them off was an understatement.

Instead I decided to use the spare No Solder modchip I had lying around in my new V7.......which although didn't run a small number of backups didn't bother me cause I just used the originals.

Still to this date I can't be bothered with getting the v7 done as it's still going strong and the V12 is no different. They sent me a new set of the Swap Magic 3.3 discs which run EVERY and I repeat EVERY game i've tried including all the know SM2.0 problem games. I bought this lovely contraption............

and now the V12 plays backups too....and flawlessly

Flame as much as you want but the 5 seconds of waiting for the ps2 to boot the disc before changing the disc really doesn't bother me. On another note people from this forum that know me know that up until a few months back I used to install a number of mods for the ps2 and box (most supplied my charlie_ps2) so i'm not no newbie shouting his mouth of.....just my own opinion
