beapea · #1 08-01-2003, 04:10

Is there any place to get a list of games that the Swap Magic 2.0 disc set has problems with. I have a set on the way and don't want to Lose my mind trying a game that will not work. Nor waste a DVD-r on backing up one of my games that will not work.

As soon as I get my disc I will let you know what I find works as well. I am glad to here the GTA 3 Vice city works, hopefully that will mean that Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance will work as well. They are around the same size. Thanks again.

there are another 40 ish imports i tried yesterday and all were fine.

Hope this comes in useful to someone,

I Live for the One, I die for the One and Swap Magic is that One. I just recieved my Swap Magic 2.0 disc today and all of my DVD-R backup copies now work without a hitch, and the Memorex and Verbatim Media both work. Swap Magic is well worth the Denaro. Vice City and Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance worked without a hitch.

Zatharass Knows the One.

hey guys Umm I want to get a swap magic but I gots a question where do you guys think is the best place to get them and will they boot rips

oh and one more thing I dont have a no solder mod any idea on where to get one of those or maybe a combo

and will a no solder mess with my laser or damage the ps2 in any way

Jay_83 · #7 13-01-2003, 03:47

if you're looking to boot dvdrips don't bother with the swap magic 2 discs. Get yourself a noswap much ie messiah2 as the swapmagic/no solder is only useful for 1:1 copys

pjclark1 · #8 13-01-2003, 09:24

jay ur wrong
dvd to cdr rips work just fine as long
as they are suitable for no-solder mods
(TOC less than 632.5 meg or 74 mins)
my devil may cry dvd to cdr rip on 4 cdrs boots up fine with
swap magic 2, as does my time crisis 2 cdr

filippos · #9 13-01-2003, 10:00

Don't bother swaping discs..
I use to swap but i freaked out!

+ my ps2 freaked out too!!

If you can afford it then get your self a Messiah 2

I got my from our good friend and teacher Charlie

Totally perfect!!

Many thanx to Charlie and Dust..

Read my post,

ie swapmagic/no solder is only useful for 1:1 copys

CDR RIPS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR NO SOLDER/SWAP MAGIC. THERFORE THEY ARE NOT USEFUL AS MOST HAVE TOC'S ABOVE.

Devil may cry on 4 cdrs. lol, that must be fun

Therfore I AM RIGHT

U R WRONG
