    Good Points: Boots copies without a modchip. Has force region conversion.

    Bad Points: Doesn't come with proper casing. A modchip might be more ideal, as you have to swap everytime.

    General comments: Swap Magic exploits a PS2 vuneribility. It works by the console detecting the swap magic disc is a PS2 pressed format. Swap Magic tells the PS2 to spin down the disc in the drive - so you can swipe the tool provided UNDER the PS2 draw - this turns all the cogs underneath, making the disc drop back into the tray and allowing you to pull the tray out and swap it for a pirate copy or homebrew. Then you close the tray and swipe back. Further options allow forced region conversion (as other region games will play in b/w unless*), -- unfortunatly this CAN (but not always) cause skipping and slow-downs on music and FMVs. Though if *you have a good TV - then you can boot the copy without region conversion and play in colour. Special boot allows boot from a USB drive, but this feature is kind of experimental and doesn't work well. Overall, it's good and boots all copies... without opening up your console or risk damaging it (ie. modchips can cause laser failures). Mod chips/boots aren't illegal as they can be used to boot homebrew. The packaging it came in was poor, I two disc DVD case with a slip of paper on how to use, and two swap keys. There's a DVD and CD version to boot whichever format you are booting, unfortunatly it doesn't boot PS1 copies, for that you need breaker pro. On a final note - make sure you burn DVDs/CDs properly. 4x caused loading problems, 8x worked fine- but some say that is too fast. Some say you should burn at 1x/2x using special forcing software. Always use a hi-quality media, like Sony 8x DVD-R. And don't use weird formats like RW or +, as some consoles models won't support them.

    The swap magic cd is very handy if you can copy a cd like my next-door neighbour who virtually buys games for £2.98. The slide tool does work and this is a cheap good way of playing import and backup games so have fun with it and if like my next-door neighbour then buy games for £2.98

    The Swap Magic & Slide Card Kit is basically an alternative to using a mod chip on your PS2. It allows the user to boot their ps2 with the swap magic CD or DVD, then using a tool depending on which console the user has, swap with their DVD-R Backup or Import. The cheapest i've found this for currently is http://www.timehascome.co.uk they provide support and guides for thier swap magic product. The swap magic set also does not invalidate the users ps2 warranty, which a mod chip does. ...
