@bleedingxxaurora I acknowledge your mod, and I had swap magic a long time ago so it was not that big of a deal for me to do the mod, but with your method, don't get me wrong, there is risk associated with it. It's not the super safe mod for your PS2, because you got to do the swap live, and over time, the motor can fail because of this. I've seen it happen to other people, so thats all I got to say on the subject. More power to you!
Disregard previous comment. Obviously it is slim. At what point did you do the swap? PS1 logo when its on or when it turns black after the ps1? With your method, over time, its risky for the motor as you can stress it and burn it out. With the PSXLauncher method, at least it 100% stops it, and you do NOT want to look into that laser, it can damage your eyes. - Versatile
@Grilledfox Do you have any other better method? You need to install FMCB first. How you going to do that? Either you find a volunteer to help mod it for you, or you find a friend who has PS2 modding type tools and he does it for you. - Versatile
i never thought i'd say this to another man, but i seriously love you dude. awesome tutorials! i installed free mcboot with no problems, and the psxlauncher worked perfectly. subscriber+1

@gamedexterity this is as easy as it gets tbh. i just softmodded my wii, and let me tell you.. that was a real pain. i feel like an expert at modding after that.
@gamedexterity i did exactly what you did. i tried many other methods but it still doesnt work. maybe its just the game. i know how to burn games to, like burn the slow speed possible like 2x etc.
@gamedexterity well i did max. and verified it and it still doesnt work. maybe its just the game. Its megaman man legends if you want to try it yourself.
@gamedexterity i did exactly what you did. i tried many other methods but it still doesnt work with fat and slim. maybe its just the game. i know how to burn games to, like burn the slow speed possible like 2x etc.
@TheVGGP It doesn't make sense at all. PSXLauncher stops the retail PS1 disc, you swap, and life should be good. Do not burn at 2x, that is way too slow for psx backups. I burn mine at 24X! - Versatile
@TheVGGP I burnt at lowest one time, and it screwed up my game. Burn too slow and burn to fast hurts. You should go to psx-scene and ask their forums. Maybe someone knows why your PSX backups don't work. - Versatile
@Dominator1212 : Explain exactly what you mean when it doesn't work? Is the 3 sensors blocked? Can you play games with the lid open? Have a retail PSX 1 game to trigger so it stops, then do the swap with the backup and launch it? Important to burn the PSX1 game at 24x on a CD-R that is GOOD quality. - Versatile
@Dominator1212 What is your retail PSX1 game you are using? What model number is scph 77001 relate to, is that at least version 9? You might have to post your question at the psx-scene forum, because I'm running out of solutions. It makes it more difficult because I can't replicate your solution on my working PS2 slim setup.
I don't know what scph 77001 relates to, that's the problem, I just thought that if there is a 9xxxx than mine would be fine, I believe 77xxx was made in late 2007 so it makes it extremely hard to find out.
I am using Simpsons wrestling, Mrs. Pac Man, Rainbow Six, trying to boot Spyro the dragon. My originakl Spyro copy is to damaged since I moved to be read on my ps2, I don't know how much it will help but I have the silver line oppose to the black version, Does that matter?????
@Dominator1212 I did some more research and you are well above V9. You are like V12. Silver or black doesn't matter. My brother has silver slim and it works fine. He has the SCPH 770012 I think, similar to mine. How did you burn the game? How fast or how slow? Can you try a different PSX backup game? So pretty much everything works until you put in the backed up PSX game and it just stays black?
Yes. Before I can play anything that is not the original disc, it turns black, not like video game black that is more grey than black, but full black, like the color of the screen before the ps1 logo, but it never changes, I've tried letting it run and it went for about 8 minutes without changing, what do you reccomend?
@Dominator1212 I am really stuck. Best to ask the ps2 gurus at psx-scene dawt com. They know everything there is about the PS2, down to the bare circuit. Maybe they know a special trick. Good luck!

@ResidenceOfEvil Tell me how many clothes are in your closet right now or shoes that you are not wearing on a weekly basis? Don't have clothes that you don't wear anymore? C'mon, there has to be something right now you own that you are not using as much as you should. - Versatile
@gamedexterity I have one pair of shoes, and a very small wardrobe. Everything that I own I use often. And even if I DID have something I didn't often use, are you implying that I should sell a shirt to get a piracy-endorsing modifier?
@ResidenceOfEvil You have shown me that you are one of the more minimalistic guys out there and you live within your means which is great. Where I am at, the Goodwill stores and Salvation Army is full of unused items that people are giving away. It was just a tongue in cheek joke or statement in the video, no more and no less. I know people right now who are living with a LOT of stuff that they don't use. I didn't mean to get you rivaled up, and if I did, I apologize. - Versatile
@ResidenceOfEvil I think Versatile is referring to guys like myself, where right now I have way too many shirts and pants that I don't even wear. I am guilty of eating out all the time, and if I stopped going out for lunch every day, yes I would have additional funds to purchase other items that last me longer than a few minutes.
It's just about perspective, and your comment on piracy-endorsing modifier...anybody will use a tool the wrong way. Take a look at the Internet. :)
@ResidenceOfEvil Sorry if I am barging in, but one pair of shoes? I have shoes for winter, business shoes, running shoes, slippers, and tennis shoes. If you have a pair of shoes that can do all of these, please let me know. I need to cut down on my inventory of shoes and would love a special shoe. - Stealth
@ResidenceOfEvil you want versatile 2mention a side note up there on de video stating ur name and saying you dont have 2stop buying clothes to get dis,because u hav a small wardrobe? why r u arguing..it makes no sense. Its a general video for evry one out there.. It simply means he knows u have to shell out money but thats the only way out.Thers nothing wrong in what he said, But u definetly need to stop stating out in public u have one pair of shoes.thats not cool.Honestly i think thats a lie.
@l0mustang0l WHOA, TL;DR. Fuck that shit, I'm not reading all that argument over something as simple as me finding what the uploader said odd sounding. Fucks sake, man, learn to choose your arguments well.
@ResidenceOfEvil Duuuude... whaere is the problem? the statement was if u prioritised that as an objective that u need to accomplish. Let me explain to you in terms of coach. You see this guy versatile is like a coach.. he teaches ppl how to get stuffs done. and a coach has more experiance than the sports man himself, U know why?? cause he teaches noobs and makes them the sportsman.. Now coaches usually know the weak points the hard points and the encouraging points,...
@ResidenceOfEvil ... Now this coach here , knows that finance is one of the most common prob for most guys... remember he has the exp of teaching to a lot of noobs... u may not be a noob, heck from ur comment u prolly arent a guy who likes to game, i dont know.. by finance being a prob doesnt mean he says most guys are poor or something. No sir, he only means that most ppl wud find it a lil diff to cough up some extra money on something called as modding.
you take that statement sensitively and in a very very negative mind yet you use the word fucked up - contradicting the whole idea. U Dont see anyone complaining on that you know why? cause thats how we roll.. Playing games is not a cheap activity, for game enthusiast. I know how many times i had to save my pocket money for 2-3 months & go into total 0 spending zone to get some games.
my modded slim ps2 plays psx games fine.. the problem comes when the psx games have more than 1 disk (final fantasy 7,8 etc) .. it never reads the game when it says "please insert disc 2" ... what the fuck??? help me!
This also works with Multi Disc games i play lunar and metal gear solid , since you have a save file on the memory card just load the save game when you use the next disc, just a heads up for those of you who need to know about that.
I write this comment to congratulate you for your tutorials and to add something strange that I encountered during the operation of psxloader on an SCPH-70004. I installed Free McBoot and PSXloader, following your vids, while using a classic PSX controller (not even analog).
Psxloader booted normally when I held R1 but when I pressed X nothing happened. No disk spin and no change on the screen. Don't even know why it came in my mind to try all this with a Dual Shock 2 but when I did, it worked.
@Qirexian All my controllers (PSX and PS2) are dual shock 2 style with analogs. I have no comment, but thanks for the trivia information. It might come handy! - Versatile
A man i forgot something I only have a Original Playstation 1 Disc This disc is not a game is a demos of games can i use PSXlauncher if i have a ps1 original demo disc???
Mi ps2 is scph 75001 It has a infinity Matrix Mod Chip 1.85 But when i put the back up disc it says '' Not psx Disc'' O_o?? please man help me 3 weeks before mi ps2 red my ps1 back ups but know it cant and Now im looking for another way to play again ps1 back ups T_T
@bonedicoot So the original PSX trigger disc works. But then you swap with the backup PSX disc, and PS2 fails to read it. If that is the case, then clean the laser. Consult the gurus at psx-scene forums for additional help. If the PS2 worked fine before, and now it doesn't, then that means its a hardware issue somewhere. The software side of it remains the same.
@gamedexterity What i mean is that the ps2 discs (DVDs) has no problems but i cant use psxlauncher because it says the message "not psx disc" and i put a psx disc and the message , i try again and it continue show me this message . What i did wrong?? i did everything you show in your video . O_o???
@gamedexterity Im not using the ps2 games on psxlauncher im using it in normal booting without this program and the laser red it normaly the only problem i have is with Playstation 1 one psx Discs
@bonedicoot Does the PS2 recognize your valid PS1 game? Let's start there. Can the PS2 play your legit PS1 game without any mods? Your PS2 is v9 and higher I think, right? - Versatile
@bonedicoot So after you use the ps1 legit disk, then do the swap with the backup disc, it fails to load it saying not PSX disc....but it used to work before right? If so, then I am really stuck. Best to ask the guys at psx-scene forum.
@bonedicoot Ok you got a version 14. Best to pose the question at psx-scene forums and see what the ps2 experts have to say. It should work but right now I don't know why it doesn't.
@gamedexterity dear Versatile ,i have already tried many ways google,yahoo, and etc...thats why i asked you to send me,otherwise i would bother you...
P.S i belive it wont be more than 2mb so i think its manageable :)
@giodemon : Check all 3 sensors on your PS2 are installed correctly. I have no answer as to why your game is not spinning. I can make a new video that shows proof of me again playing a PS1 backup game using the PSXLauncher, but that still doesn't help your cause. To say that my video is BS is just BS man.
@gamedexterity my PS2 is FAT scph 30004 R...the fact is that i do everything step by step like you but nothing...
after that black screen comes up and a change the disc (CD) and pres X it stays like that...so i donno man or you PS2 is CHIPED or
something is wrong here because i have done everything by SCHEDULE like you say!
P.S after you change the disc ,camera goes to tv and you cant even see how it starts spin..i meant after we see the console its already spins and game boots!
@giodemon NOW it makes sense. You are using a FAT PS2!!!! No where in my annotations or more info section did I say this method is to work with FAT PS2. Only works with the slim. I got a used slim solely for this purpose (among other things). I have a fat PS2 also, but I could not get it to play PS1 backups no matter what. I almost gave up, and then I figured out the slim method and life was good again. Try or borrow a friend's slim PS2 and go from there. - Versatile
in some videos you have a texts in brackets which say that you say this and that by mistake and those methods works on both of them (fat and slim)
so now we see that , this VERY method works ONLY for SLIM!!!
so in advance,please make COMMENTS what specific console will take that method ok..because people are getting interested ,put really big amount of time and try's and at the end when your left with NOTHING..it really makes you ANGRY man and want to KILL
@giodemon Those tutorials I put down fat and slim for a reason. This tutorial notice I did not put FAT PS2 anywhere in the text description. I specifically wrote SLIM PS2. However, I will now put in a note right now its not meant for FAT PS2 to clarify the situation even further when I thought it was already obvious. My mistake. - Versatile
@giodemon : Finally, an apology! I was hoping you would turn around and you did. There are so many people these days so quick to call out fake, that it really angers me at times, because I know what is real because I did the tutorial first hand, but yet when people get frustrated, they always take the anger out on the creator. It's not fair at all, and I did nothing wrong here. I had annotations, text notations...what else can I do? Absolutely nothing it seems. - Versatile
@giodemon : I have a SCPH-70012 slim PS2. I put psxlauncher.elf onto my FMCB, used a retail PS1 disk I had, and it played my backed up PS1 game fine. I don't understand how you can call the video BS when he clearly showed you the hardware in action. The lid was even open so you can clearly see the game was spinning? When you try to run your backed up disc, did the PS2 give you an error? Did you see your laser stay in place or did it move when you open the lid?
Hey there! I tried to see if this was mentioned already, but I didn't see a post about it so I'll just ask: does this method work reliably with unique multi-disc games like Parasite Eve 2? I ask because that particular game is designed in such a way that you cannot save your progress before swapping out discs.
@krizzik : Oh crap, I never tried 2 game discs like that before. So when you get to the end of the 1st disc, it says swap in 2nd disc and then you can save? - Versatile
That's right. Parasite Eve 2 is typically one of the hardest games to play from a backup state due to this issue. There are no save points before this swap occurs. What's more, if memory serves me correctly, the point where the swap happens is directly after a big boss battle; sort of adding insult to injury.
@krizzik : All right, there leaves only one option left, although not the best. Load a save game file after the swap occurs. This is done with help from gamefaqs. - Versatile
??? Do you mean load a previously made save game that occurs on the second/swapped disc? How would you do that if you don't have a save that has occurred there yet? Or, are you saying that I'd have to acquire a save game made by someone else and load their save game after the swap? If it's the latter, it sort of defeats the purpose of all the work & items/experience a player had done/acquired through the first disc. Oh well...
thanks for the reply, but I found another way to boot my ps1 games. Just restart the console TWICE in a row, u can do it 3 times if u want and it will work :).
for those that may be wondering ffgriever is about to(exact date is unknown)release a ps2 psx emulator called PS2PSXe
and with it there is no need for a ps1 memory card it will be able to load and save games from every media that you can access from the ps2 (eg. dvd, internal hdd, usb hdd, and network share)
And 1 more thing. I'm using Free mcboot and I have a modchip. When I burn the psx games should I patch them with esr? If I must do it, i can't. Already tried on a couple of games. It just says "No UDF descriptor" or something like that. I'll appreciate some help :)
i did everything you did in the video and it didn't work. i have fmcb and psxloader, i have backup cd's (comp usa brand) burned using dvd decrypter (in either iso or bin/cue) at 1x speed, my version is scph-70011 slim. i have an original game (crash bandicoot). do i also need to block the sensors or get a flip top bc thats what many of the other sites are telling me to do. also how did your ps2 spin the disc with the top open bc i cant do that with mine. thanks in advance
@gamedexterity i watched your video on blocking the sensors and did it. unfortunately a couple new problems occurred: 1) i got to the ps1 screen but the logo disappeared and on the bottom where it says SCEA instead of the whole thing written out. 2) got a black screen after that. i feel like i didnt block the sensors down tight enough
hey thanks a lot dude really helped me! ive been DYING to play my MGS backup!

Viewers, if you dont want to purchase swap magic, you can just:
(Slim PS2)- Cover up the three sensors so it doesn't know you switched out the game
(Phat PS2)-Open up case of the console and actually lift up the disc and switch it.
I did that for my Phat, super simple.

@gamedexterity I have one pair of shoes, and a very small wardrobe. Everything that I own I use often. And even if I DID have something I didn't often use, are you implying that I should sell a shirt to get a piracy-endorsing modifier?
ResidenceOfEvil 11 months ago
@ResidenceOfEvil You have shown me that you are one of the more minimalistic guys out there and you live within your means which is great. Where I am at, the Goodwill stores and Salvation Army is full of unused items that people are giving away. It was just a tongue in cheek joke or statement in the video, no more and no less. I know people right now who are living with a LOT of stuff that they don't use. I didn't mean to get you rivaled up, and if I did, I apologize. - Versatile
gamedexterity 11 months ago
@ResidenceOfEvil I think Versatile is referring to guys like myself, where right now I have way too many shirts and pants that I don't even wear. I am guilty of eating out all the time, and if I stopped going out for lunch every day, yes I would have additional funds to purchase other items that last me longer than a few minutes.
It's just about perspective, and your comment on piracy-endorsing modifier...anybody will use a tool the wrong way. Take a look at the Internet. :)

I write this comment to congratulate you for your tutorials and to add something strange that I encountered during the operation of psxloader on an SCPH-70004. I installed Free McBoot and PSXloader, following your vids, while using a classic PSX controller (not even analog).
Psxloader booted normally when I held R1 but when I pressed X nothing happened. No disk spin and no change on the screen. Don't even know why it came in my mind to try all this with a Dual Shock 2 but when I did, it worked.

bonedicoot 1 year ago
@bonedicoot So the original PSX trigger disc works. But then you swap with the backup PSX disc, and PS2 fails to read it. If that is the case, then clean the laser. Consult the gurus at psx-scene forums for additional help. If the PS2 worked fine before, and now it doesn't, then that means its a hardware issue somewhere. The software side of it remains the same.

first of all this sh...t doesnt work ,i mean i'v done everything by schedule as you say but NOTHING...
"after disc stops spinning ,go swap beckup ,then pres X " and Sh..t ,it stays still and never start game(because it is not spinning anymore.)
so in the name of all people watched this which you waste the time and nerves F.... YOU !!!
giodemon 1 year ago
@giodemon : Check all 3 sensors on your PS2 are installed correctly. I have no answer as to why your game is not spinning. I can make a new video that shows proof of me again playing a PS1 backup game using the PSXLauncher, but that still doesn't help your cause. To say that my video is BS is just BS man.

@gamedexterity my PS2 is FAT scph 30004 R...the fact is that i do everything step by step like you but nothing...
after that black screen comes up and a change the disc (CD) and pres X it stays like that...so i donno man or you PS2 is CHIPED or
something is wrong here because i have done everything by SCHEDULE like you say!
P.S after you change the disc ,camera goes to tv and you cant even see how it starts spin..i meant after we see the console its already spins and game boots!
giodemon 1 year ago
@giodemon NOW it makes sense. You are using a FAT PS2!!!! No where in my annotations or more info section did I say this method is to work with FAT PS2. Only works with the slim. I got a used slim solely for this purpose (among other things). I have a fat PS2 also, but I could not get it to play PS1 backups no matter what. I almost gave up, and then I figured out the slim method and life was good again. Try or borrow a friend's slim PS2 and go from there. - Versatile
gamedexterity 1 year ago
@gamedexterity well HELLO then...
in some videos you have a texts in brackets which say that you say this and that by mistake and those methods works on both of them (fat and slim)
so now we see that , this VERY method works ONLY for SLIM!!!
so in advance,please make COMMENTS what specific console will take that method ok..because people are getting interested ,put really big amount of time and try's and at the end when your left with NOTHING..it really makes you ANGRY man and want to KILL

@giodemon Those tutorials I put down fat and slim for a reason. This tutorial notice I did not put FAT PS2 anywhere in the text description. I specifically wrote SLIM PS2. However, I will now put in a note right now its not meant for FAT PS2 to clarify the situation even further when I thought it was already obvious. My mistake. - Versatile

There are so many people these days so quick to call out fake, that it really angers me at times, because I know what is real because I did the tutorial first hand, but yet when people get frustrated, they always take the anger out on the creator. It's not fair at all, and I did nothing wrong here. I had annotations, text notations...what else can I do? Absolutely nothing it seems. - Versatile
gamedexterity 1 year ago
@giodemon : I have a SCPH-70012 slim PS2. I put psxlauncher.elf onto my FMCB, used a retail PS1 disk I had, and it played my backed up PS1 game fine. I don't understand how you can call the video BS when he clearly showed you the hardware in action. The lid was even open so you can clearly see the game was spinning? When you try to run your backed up disc, did the PS2 give you an error? Did you see your laser stay in place or did it move when you open the lid?
asdftools 1 year ago
Hey there! I tried to see if this was mentioned already, but I didn't see a post about it so I'll just ask: does this method work reliably with unique multi-disc games like Parasite Eve 2? I ask because that particular game is designed in such a way that you cannot save your progress before swapping out discs.
krizzik 1 year ago
@krizzik : Oh crap, I never tried 2 game discs like that before. So when you get to the end of the 1st disc, it says swap in 2nd disc and then you can save? - Versatile
gamedexterity 1 year ago
@gamedexterity
That's right. Parasite Eve 2 is typically one of the hardest games to play from a backup state due to this issue. There are no save points before this swap occurs. What's more, if memory serves me correctly, the point where the swap happens is directly after a big boss battle; sort of adding insult to injury.
krizzik 1 year ago
@krizzik : All right, there leaves only one option left, although not the best. Load a save game file after the swap occurs. This is done with help from gamefaqs. - Versatile
gamedexterity 1 year ago
@gamedexterity
??? Do you mean load a previously made save game that occurs on the second/swapped disc? How would you do that if you don't have a save that has occurred there yet? Or, are you saying that I'd have to acquire a save game made by someone else and load their save game after the swap? If it's the latter, it sort of defeats the purpose of all the work & items/experience a player had done/acquired through the first disc. Oh well...
