How to use Swap Magic 3.6 on a fat PS2

[DTriniBadman]

Where do you find the PS2 isos to download and burn to the disc?

[JPSL14]

@DTriniBadman You can find it in many sites, blogs and so on. You just have to search wisely.

[Wiiplaya1234]

my game is a PAL but my system is an NTSC. can i use swap magic to play it?

[JPSL14]

@Wiiplaya1234 Some say it works, and I'm not sure. I guess you'll have to try.

[guvenator]

@JPSL14 It works

[FLattrim]

thanks u a loot <3 !

[GamingCityxMrGamer]

where can i buy swap magic

[Annabelleaugust39]

I have a fat ps2 v3 does it matter what version it is?

[JPSL14]

@Annabelleaugust39 Don't think so.

[Annabelleaugust39]

@JPSL14 Thankyou

[lureinlazerman45]

I have a pal, but the game is ntsc, will it still work?

[JPSL14]

@lureinlazerman45 I don't know, but some of the viewers say it works. You should give it a try.

[lureinlazerman45]

@JPSL14

ok thx, by the way, do you have any tips on getting views?

[JPSL14]

@lureinlazerman45 If by views you mean people watching your video: make a good video, share your link between friends and other sites, and use good, but direct tags to identify it.

[MrKungfubandito]

when i put in magic swap it says i need a format chip what do i do

[JPSL14]

@MrKungfubandito I guess you'll have to buy it if you are using a Slim PS2.

[OneWingedAngelG]

do you have to mod the ps2

[JPSL14]

@OneWingedAngelG No. All I needed was the CD, DVD and the card. I think that the ones who need to be modded are the PS2 Slim.

[MrLawrencecorn]

does this work for ntsc to pal

[JPSL14]

@MrLawrencecorn I don't think so.

[whitemamba345]

@MrLawrencecorn yesssss

[JPSL14]

@s1euZy If you have the original version, I think you don't need to use Swap Magic.

[psp3000legend]

nice :D

[goku4ssvegeta]

Y does it say PAL on the CD/DVDs?? lol Would it work 4 NTSC PS2s?? lol

[JPSL14]

@goku4ssvegeta No. In order to work, you must buy the NTSC version.

[goku4ssvegeta]

@JPSL14 Ok thanx!! lol

[StriderHiryu1200]

@JPSL14 will it work for original games from japan that's not burnt? cause i got some games from japan i want to play.

[JPSL14]

@StriderHiryu1200 You've go to check if they are compatible with your PS2. I mean, to play PAL games, your PS2 must support PAL. To play NTSC games, your PS2 must support NTSC. If the formats are different, I don't think it will work, even with Swap Magic.

[TheJosep167]

@JPSL14 no no with swap magic u can play ntsc no matter where the game is from

[JPSL14]

@TheJosep167 That's a new thing I learn. Thanks.

[TheGeekplayer]

@StriderHiryu1200 yes you can if its pal it wont though

[TheManudo00]

@BboyVirgin who it dosent

[irteaocusaicaro]

THANK YOU

[Vanitas61]

So how many times would you say you use then in...i dunno a week? Because I'm thinking of getting this but I'm afraid of damaging my PS2. And the game I want to get is kidna a long game so I might have to save and quit a lot, and as I said I don't want to break it.

[JPSL14]

@Vanitas61 You just need to insert the disc and then remove it. Then you put the game and it would be like if you were playing a normal game.

[tbrennan100]

do you remember which website you got it off of?



[JPSL14]

@tbrennan100 Not really. You can always serach for it on Google.

[berzerker11]

i would rather buy original games instead of doing this to the disc tray..

[JPSL14]

@berzerker11 Since I don't use it a lot, I'm not worried about that.

[CJGUAPSS]

DUDE!!!!!!! LETS HAVE A DRINK IN YOUR HOUSE THERE AR MANY WINESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSS

[JPSL14]

@CJGUAPSS It's just a small part of them. Personal use only :p

[ultimaweapon2000]

where did you buy your swap magic please respond

[JPSL14]

@ultimaweapon2000 I bought it on a Portuguese online store. I don't know if it sells for other countries.

[ajperrin3]

does NOT look healthy for your ps2...

[JPSL14]

@ajperrin3 I know it might damage the len, but i have this for 2 years and it still works. Of course, I don't even use this everyday.

[sheiks65]

hey i got 2 discs with my order (cd and dvd) which one do i use if i wanna play an imported game?

[JPSL14]

@sheiks65 It depends if it is a CD or a DVD. Usually they are DVD's, so use the DVD of Swap Magic.

[sativuks]

Riders on the Storm

[JPSL14]

@BboyVirgin Yes, that's why I have chosen it.

[LisaB1138]

doers the game hav to be on a burnt cd?

[JPSL14]

@LisaB1138 Yes, CD or DVD.

[ajmrowland]

@LisaB1138 Not if it's an import.

[TheGumGumMan]

My PS2 wont load the disc ._.

[JPSL14]

@TheGumGumMan The len might be damaged.

[MrDidi123456789]

@JPSL14 why my ps2 can play any pirate games and burned games without swap magic or something like that?

[JPSL14]

@MrDidi123456789 Then if it is a PS2 Slim, and you bought it used, it may have a chip that allows that. But it's weird, you should have to use Swap Magic even if it has the chip.

[MrDidi123456789]

@JPSL14 i dont have even single original dvd of ps2 games,my ps2 is the latest version of ps2 slim, and of course my ps2 is the original one

[JPSL14]

@MrDidi123456789 I don't know, you must be a lucky guy, then. :D

[hollowkos]

doesn't work anymore for me! it's been few year I haven't tried it, my problem is I can't select the "load program option" I'm stuck at the video options. I don't know how to move up and enlighten the "load program" option....not one of the joystick keys seems to work....any idea guys??

[JPSL14]

@hollowkos Have you tried to press the 'X' or the 'Square' button?

[hollowkos]

@JPSL14 yeah I tried everything, later on I thought it may be my joystick...and indeed, upon trying a different game to see if it worked I discovered the Up|down arrows are broken...at least I know what's the problem now

[apollonael]

wht does it do?

[JPSL14]

@apollonael You can run games that you download on the Internet, record them on a DVD and then play it on your PS2.

[Furiousvalor]

Will this damage your ps2?

[JPSL14]

@Furiousvalor It is possible, yes. But I have it since the last year, and my PS2 continues to work. I am not always using it, I also play original games. But if it damages it, That an excuse for asking your parents to buy you a PS3. :D

[finalfantasyfan24]

eu não vou usar este metodo..........viva o fcp loool

[ukcnitro]

swap magic old getting ur ps2 chiped is way much better swap magic could damage ur ps2

[DPricochet54]

i have one more question do i have to use the swap magic even when i preorder a game from japan?

[JPSL14]

@DPricochet54 I guess so.

[DPricochet54]

2:34 i dont gert that part why u leave the swapkey in there?

[JPSL14]

@DPricochet54 Because after I've inserted the game, I need to lock the tray. Then, you can remove it, if you want to.

[DPricochet54]

@JPSL14 so if its not locked that means ur tray will be like unable to open or close rite? at least thats wat i heard

[JPSL14]

@DPricochet54 I think that if the tray isn't locked, the game will block or it won't even run.

[DPricochet54]

the game has to be burned?

[JPSL14]

@DPricochet54 Yes.

[joshxkilla]

JA i remember hearing this song on nfs underground 2 best nfs game ever by the way

[Usermoslander947]

I want a japanese game but I dont want to destroy my system

[JPSL14]

@Usermoslander947 I don't know if it will work.

[mikeguitar41]

Wouldn't recommend using Slide Card. This is what may occur: watch?v=Y04RGZgj7Ws

[TheVivi7007]

how long did it take until you receive swap magic...

[JPSL14]

@TheVivi7007 I don't remeber, but no longer than one week.

[CaptainHowdy187]

I live in Australia and I want to buy some imported PS2 games and I'm gonna need the Pal Swap Magic to play them but do I have to have a slide card or is that only needed for burnt games?

[JPSL14]

@CaptainHowdy187 You only need it for burnt games. You can do it by yourself, too. There are several ways to do it.

[CaptainHowdy187]

@JPSL14 Ok so if I buy some imported games, all I need to do is put the swap magic disc in the PS2 > load program > eject Swap Magic disc > put in imported game disc and I'm set? Fucking wikipedia page for Swap Magic DID NOT make it clear that you only need slide tool for burnt games so I changed my online order to include slidetool and I'm awaiting a response and now I'm gonna need to tell them that I now don't need the slidetool afterall.......

[JPSL14]

@CaptainHowdy187 Since the imported games are compatible with your PS2, you won't need Swap Magic. Only if they are burnt. I don't even know if Swap magic works with different formats.

[CaptainHowdy187]

@JPSL14 I live in Australia and I have a PAL PS2, the games I want to get are Japanese NTSC.

[JPSL14]

@CaptainHowdy187 Try to inform yourself in forums, but by what I understand, if they are different formats, your PS2 won't read them, even with Swap Magic. That's what I think.

[CaptainHowdy187]

@JPSL14 Then what is Swap Magic for if not to play games incompatible with the PS2 you have? What games will Swap Magic allow you to play?

If anyone else has any idea about playing NTSC-J games with Swap Magic on a PAL PS2 then please let me know!

[JPSL14]

@CaptainHowdy187 Swap Magic allows me to play games that I download on the Internet, and burn them on the computer. Then, I use it to help my PS2 reading them.

[KazukiriMishamiota]

@CaptainHowdy187 Swap Magic should work, regardless. I believe there's a set up bit where you can switch it from PAL to NTSC.

[KazukiriMishamiota]

@CaptainHowdy187 Er, also. You do need a slide card or other method of opening the CD tray without turning Swap Magic off. Whether the games are burnt or not has absolutely nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, the guy who made this video is misinformed on a number of things.

[darry20]

which magic swap do i need to play american games on a uk ps2 ??

[JPSL14]

@darry20 I guess it's not possible. In UK, I think the TV's are PAL. In the USA, it's NTSC, so it's not compatible.

[WackyModder86]

@JPSL14

bullshit. Swap Magic comes in PAL version too!

[JPSL14]

@WackyModder86 I know, that's the one I have. But, USA games are NTSC, and in UK is PAL. It's not compatible, it's different TV formats!

[WackyModder86]

@JPSL14

you realize that Swap Magic can bypass the formats, right? XD

I have a friend in UK who has swap magic cuz of me, and he uses it just fine, lol

[JPSL14]

@WackyModder86 Sorry, I didn't know that.

[omaryusuf1998]

wait u sayin that thing can make you play any unlicensed game on ps2 cool wish would be the same on ps3!! i wouldn't have had to pay 300 usd for modern warfare 2

[fuffy8181]

where did u get yours

[fuffy8181]

where do u download the games

[JPSL14]

@fuffy8181 "Google is your friend".

[SymbioteBrumak]

I wanna play Rengou Vs ZAFT II Plus on my PS2, but I don't know which Swaqp Magic I should use, someone plz tell me which version should I use.

Swap Magic Coder Japan Version(Green)

Swap Magic Coder PAL Version(Blue, like in the video)

Swap Magic Coder NTSC US Version(Black)

[JPSL14]

@SymbioteBrumak Where are you from? It has to do with your TV format and you PS2.

[SymbioteBrumak]

@JPSL14 New York

[JPSL14]

@SymbioteBrumak You have to use Swap Magic Coder NTSC US.

[SymbioteBrumak]

@JPSL14

Does it matter what kind or brand of TV i'm using?

[JPSL14]

@SymbioteBrumak Yes. In the USA, you use NTSC.

[alfonso19912]

hey thanx 4 the video i just bought a original japan game and i want to know if swap magic works for playing original games? which i believe is true right?

[JPSL14]

@alfonso19912 When you play original games, you don't need Swap Magic.

[alfonso19912]

@JPSL14 yea but how r u able to play original games from japan if ur ps2 wont read it cause i bought KH 2 final mix and i put it on my ps2 and it didn't read it tells me to put a english ps2 game and i herd that to play original games that arent realase in US i dont now why it wont work

[JPSL14]

@alfonso19912 It won´t work. Please confirm this: Under the PlayStation simbol on the game cover, the game tells NTSC. Western Europe countries use NTSC format on their TV's. I don't know where you live, but your TV format and PlayStation only work with PAL. Search on the back of your PlayStation to see if it says PAL. If it does, the game will never work.

[shawnduke407]

do you have to be online to get it to work

[JPSL14]

@shawnduke407 No.

[360ownez]

my drive kept getting cought on the laser when i did this and i had to open it and fixx it :(

[JPSL14]

Maybe you are doing it wrong.

[rlipkowski10]

2 questions first where could i by thus because i just bought kingdom hearts 2 final mix+ and i found out i need swap mgic and when you put in the game to play it for the first time for the second time you play it do you need to use the swap magic again or is it all set

[JPSL14]

As I live in Portugal, I bought it in a Portuguese website. Try to search in Google for stores that sell it in your country.

If you bought the game on a store and the game is original, you will NEVER need Swap Magic.

If you want to play a game that requires Swap Magic, you will need to use it always when you want to play.

[Omnicloudx13]

Thanks for this guide man, your the best.

5/5

[JPSL14]

You're welcome.

[paulspydar]

dvdr- or dvdr+?

[JPSL14]

[SenhorManu]

Boas,

[JPSL14]

Eu comprei na Globalbus, mas também há quem compre na Disco Azul. Tu é que decides.

[SenhorManu]

Já o tenho em casa.

Agora vo ter é k fazer um backup para testa.

Gravas com kualker tipo de dvd?

DVD-R DVD-RW?

cumps

[JPSL14]

Eu gravo com DVD-R. O DVD-RW, como é regravável, acho que a PS2 não lê.

[SenhorManu]

Ta a funcionar.

Sem problemas.

Ja não preciso de andar com os meus jogos de um lado para o outro.

lol

Ja agora.. Sabes se dá para correr backups NTSC sem o conversor de sinal?

[papapaeiou]

Compraste em ke loja? Tou indeciso entre a Disco AZul e a Globalbus, mas na Disco é mais barato, mas o produto é o mesmo, certo?

[asafportnoy]

hello jpsl14.

first tnx for the video!

i want to know if u have a swap magic 3.6 can u run any burned games (ntsc,ntsc-j,pal) or only the ones in your ps2 version?

[JPSL14]

There are different versions: one for PAL and one for NTSC. It has to do with your country.

[Roodkuipje]

You know how to use burned disc on a slim ps2?

[JPSL14]

I think it's the same way, but it needs a chip.

[chrisbrown78440]

do you have to music please ? where you have the song please

[JPSL14]

Its written on this page...

Snoop Dogg FT The Doors - Riders on the Storm

[RIPCAT22]

do you have to patch the game before putting it on disc?

[JPSL14]

You burn the game image on a CD/DVD. Then put the Swap Magic in your PS2 and when it is loaded you remove the CD/DVD and insert the one that you've burned. Then you click on the X or in the Square.

[RIPCAT22]

What i mean is do you have to patch the ISO before burning it on disk

[JPSL14]

Hum, I don't think so. You just burn it normally on a CD/DVD.

[2FINE4YOUBABYGIRL]

how do you take the ps2 logo bar off so easily and is it necasray

[JPSL14]

Yes, it is necessary. Try to pull it out and slide it to left or right.

[mansuru]

Say, is there any difference between the black and blue designed swap magic discs?

[JPSL14]

By what I've seen in the Internet, the black ones are for the USA. My CD's are blue because I'm form Europe.

[mansuru]

No, apparently the blue ones too can be used too what I ordered are blue designed and its info say it's for the states (CA). They say the cd is v3.8. New color style, I guess? thanks for the reply.

[DJSoulLaro]

I don't have a PS2 but I have a PS3. But can you explain to me what is Swap Magic? And what it is use for? I'm just curious..

[JPSL14]

It is used to run games that are not original. So we can download/copy them and then play it in our PS2...

[DJSoulLaro]

Oh..

It sucks that PS3 don't have something so that we can play pirated/not original games..

[geezyfladies]

if you played nfs underground 2 youve heard this song

[JPSL14]

Yes, I have for PC and I've taken that song from there.

[psp110]
