Info on PS2 Slide Card & Swap Magic discs

Does anyone have the slide card for PS2 and the swap magic discs? How good is it really? What kind of games does it play? I'm a bit sceptical about it see and all the shops that sell chips in my area say it doesn't work as good as a chip and they would'nt sell it anyway as it isn't that good according to them. Is this true?

They also said that a lot of their friends buy them and have returned them cos they dont work too well. And I'm a bit curious as to why only websites sell them? I tried checking the Bargain Pages aswell cos there's always someone selling this kind of stuff from their home and surprise surprise - nothing there for once! I got my cartridge thingie for my PSX to play my games from India/Japan/Singapore/China from someone advertising in the Bargain Pages in 1999 so naturally I thought its similiar cos of the "knife trick" and there should be sum adverts there but there wasn't. I mean all I wanna do is to play my god-damned copied CD/DVD games that I get from Asia!! I dont no anyone who has the Slide Card and Swap Magic so I dont know who to trust at the moment.

In case you're wondering, the games I buy from Asia are imported from Japan and America from so called "black markets". (They sell them in broad daylight in public!) Anyway, I get each game as cheap as 50p each if you convert the exchange rate to pounds.

Getting back to the subject, most of the games from Asia are CD games so can anyone tell me how good the Slide Card and Swap Magic performs on CD games or ripped DVD games burned onto CD which I think most are and how well they perform on DVD games aswell please. (I remember that GTA: Vice City I brought from over there is on a CD despite it being on a DVD everywhere else in the world).

Anyway, I'm thinkin of buying it from psxservices.co.uk. Would you lot recommend it? If you do recommend it, why and if you dont, why not?

By the way, thanks for reading the whole of this post. I know it must seem like a barking on and on but can you lot help me out because you lot are almost 100% correct when it come to PES3.

I bought my slide card from PSXservices. Good delivery times and they are reliable.

I tried using the slide card method with Action Replay v2 as a boot disc, but when I press X I here it loading it sounds OK, but then just stops?

Any advice please?

I use swap magic disks and they are fine

for all u need to know check out the forums at WWW.PS2OWNZ.COM.

The only problem sometimes is the differnt versions of ps2 out there.

There is a TOC refresh feature with the DVD V2 (press the eject button when it askesu to insert a disk put in a large game, such as GTA3 to refresh the TOC then use the swap trick to play ur copied game.

I have patched PES3. I have the 'confusion' rip which I think is about 720mb before burn. Just waiting for my cd burner to come in the post. The question is will it work with the swap magic 2.0 disks?

Looks like I'll have to by some swap magic disks then.

It's just a pain in the arse not knowing if I've patched it right, or if the AR2 swap method dosnt work with ps2 v3????

When I do the slide card trick it just stays on the "insert disk" screen.

Thanks anyway.

swap magic v3 will read cdr's up to 632mb in size and 4.35 GB's for DVD anything larger will crash before loading or crash at some point in the game.

v7 ps2's are more problemic with Swap Magic as v7's have a double check feature which games like true crime, SWAT check however if your backups fail you run a program called cdloader which bypasses this.
