One disc is for cd games, one is for dvd. You don't have to swap, can play ps1 games & can boot the few dual layer games that are on ps2, that's basically the only advantages, so depends how much you want ps1, how much the few dual layer games mean to you and if you mind swapping or not Need guide for that specific chip and board. PS: The three different SMDs I found are these three 1, 2, 3, which one should I be getting out of the three? What's the "slide tool" and is it required? I see it stated as mandatory to either have that or the Magic Swap Pro, but seeing how the MSP is, it's the same as the old trick with the toothpicks.Īny help on this is appreciated, hope someone can answer these for me sometime soon, really wanna get back into playing PS2 games! Does it also allow playing backups of PS1 games? Can you actually play PS2 games from a CD or it has to be DVD? Does it let you bypass region-lock without any exceptions? There are some Japan-only games I'm interested in. How do you actually use them past the just swapping part? I see there are two disks and all.
Do SMDs only allow you to play backups instead of homebrew as well? I found three different ones, all being version 3.8, so here are the things I wanna ask about.
Which brings me to the other option, SMDs. How much better is it compared to Swap Magic Disks?
How do I go about installing it? I have a guide for installing a different chip, but do all chips install the exact same way? This one is the soldering-kind. Is this one chip reliable or it's just a knock-off or something? No experience whatsoever on this, so just trying to make sure. It seems to offer some nice things like region-free, is the cheapest option and supports homebrew, so I have a few questions. Now, I found two things that are available and I can buy from someplace that's not ebay or something similar.įirst one is a chip named " Mars Pro GM-816HD". Since it's the last model (or one of the latest) FreeMCBoot doesn't quite support it because of the different drivers for the disk reader apparently, so looked for alternatives. Since the vast majority of games just suck in this day and age, I felt like getting out my PS2 and trying to make it able to run backups once again.
