I just figured out its impossible to swap your disks with a ps2 game, it only works for the ps1 games, just to let you know if you decide to as in the comments.
You should not have any problems and if you do il try my best to help you out, but just for safety reason's I have to say, I am not responsible if any of your equiptment gets damaged. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
hey my ps2 is not fat! it's big boned
***** they are :D
Hahaha in this case it would be true, but "It's big ironed" would be a better joke lol
I finally got this method to work. Thanks for the tutorial dude. Timing is absolutely everything
I didn't watch it for the "how to" I watched it for his Über ninja skills!
Awesome Video!
perfect just what i wanted to know
this is how i was doing it on my ps3
didnt know if it worked the same on ps2
thnx for the upload great video!!
one question tho will this work with trying to play cutsom songs with guitar hero
for those that dont understand... the trick behind this is basically that when it reads a burned disc some sort of authorization is needed, this trick makes it so that a true disc gives an authentication code but lets a burned disc play... kinda borrowing someone card for access to a door, or letting them open the door for you and going away afterwards...
ps2 games, unless more secure, should work with this as well but its hard as hell.
Great vid! What type of cd do you use to burn your games to? I'm trying to use CD-R's but the iso files for the games I'm trying to burn (i.e. FFVII, Chrono Cross, Klonoa, ect.) are larger than the disk storage! (ex. FFVII .iso file is > 700MB and the disk only holds 700MB) I was just gonna do the normal disk swap on a PSX but I can't really do that if I can't put the iso on the disk!
@Gameathoner wrong! what makes you think they wont be selling ps2 titles on psn when the ps4 comes out? Just like they did with ps one titles... or do you mean manufacturing them?
how many hands do u have?
it is easier if you have the same game burnt and original. if the original for instance loads to game but starts to hang in some part of the game you can do the swap only once after the bootup.
worked for me. but i can not do this what u showed on this video.
This does I work. In fact this is extremely simple if you have one of the first models of a ps2. The reset and eject buttons are not attached to the outer case of the ps2 so you don't have to worry about that silver band of wire disconnecting. What's even better is you only have to swap one time. YAY!!!!!!! :)
lol its so funny how u quickly change it, btw thx this is a good tutorial!
What is that? do you mean when I want to play copies I have to do all these things? I just want to play copies with my system closed, is anyway without gutting my PS2?
Thank you. Took the words right out of my brain.
Such an amazing console, i play my Ps2 for Nba Street Vol. 2, Tekken 4, Futurama and DOA 2: Hardcore. I wish PSN had those available on the marketplace.
thx dude my ps2 is destroyed and i will have to buy a new one all because i followed ur instructions thax man i wish i could get u :)
This was excellent to watch. But I find it easier to mod your slim since its easier to do, but whatever you have is whatever you can use I guess. I have a question about my fat PS2. Like I went to clean my PS2 fat, and the power isn't working at all, and EVERYTHING is connected. I'm thinking its the power cord itself, but I don't have any extras. Is there any other reason besides the power cord shorting out? I even put the console back together and everything. Suggestions?
Do you have to block the sensors, or is that only with the slim ps2?
does this only work with ps1 back ups or do u just need to have the swap disk as a ps1 game? thanks for your time.
Cool man, i haad a 2 ps2 consoles, one of them i sould to my brother i gived him the fat ps2 and i have ps2 slim. 2014 and the both ps2 runs perfect :D
so what do you do after that do you just close the whole thing up and play burned and normel cds or do you have to do the same thing over and over
Hello! I have a few questions :) All right, so I THINK that I've downloaded and burned a PS2 game correctly. I hope that I've done something wrong there, because my discs won't work. So after that, I've tried your method, but I used an original PS2 rather than a PS1 game (like you did). Do you think you can help me out? It might be the download part that's wrong on my part, but IDK. Thanks though!
Instead of burned games, can it work with different region games too? And do you have to do it every time you put in the same game?
Any tips or knowledge on how to play burned PS2 games, (not PS1)?
Do you have to do this swap every time you want to play the game, or just once?
How does this swapping affect region codes?
Thanks!
after you mod it do you need to swap it every time you want to play a burned game?
Is the Gran Turismo a original disc? Acctually, do I need two ps1 games? One of them must necessarily to be a original disc?
do that white plastic thing lock a disc so that doesnt fly away or why do that just keep a disc on reader wheel
do you have to leave it in that state or can you put it back together still modded
do you need to do that every time to play a back up and do you need to put a ps1 game in
When your swapping your games does it matter if your swapping a dvd or cd to play the burnt game?
can you see the laser on that because i want to do the gh2 swap trick or do i need to go a step further
isn't there an easier way to mod the ps2 like custom firmware or something? or like a hacked memcard? I mean my aunt had an awesome xbox with games, emus and all kinds of stuff on it
I have NEVER had to swap disks more than once. Just swap when the legit disk icon shows up in the browser (like you did), and then just boot the game and don't touch anything. Works for me. It might sometimes take a minute, but it always boots the game.
+Dr. Gaming Explain without having your grammar all over the place.
+BluffCreek Gaming OK, buddy... In this video he swaps the disk twice. I am saying if you correctly burn the game using the right tools, you don't have to swap twice, just the initial legit game swap will work.
Dr. Gaming That doesn't work. an .ELF is a disc's brain, nobody can create this. By swapping discs, you're making the .ELF file read the files on the other disc.
See the hard drive? That's the master. The .ELF file gets copied to there, the master tells it to run. Before it gets told to run, the disc has to be swapped to the burned disc. That way, when the .ELF tells all the files to run, they run a different program, and the master code tells all files inside the disc to load the files.
First the cutscene, then the PRESS START screen, then the menus, then all the files in the game.
+BluffCreek Gaming I don't even know what you are going on about, but my initial claim that you only have to swap once is true. I have done it many times, and it has always worked. If you want I can make you a video. I have 3 burnt ps1 games right next to me.
Dr. Gaming Okay, let's act like your comment is more important. And since you don't understand I'll say it one last time.
The .ELF file is the game CD's brain. ISOs have this removed, meaning it needs the .ELF to run the files on the disc to make it load.
If the .ELF file can't load any of these files, you're either going to get a black screen, or the infamous RSOD (Red Screen Of Death)
These are pretty easy to get past, you just have to do it properly.
Do u hav 2 keep the ps2 casing dismantled as always or can you put it bak 2gether?
do you have to do that every time you wanna play any bacl up/burned game?
What else can I use besides the white thingy you used? Please tell me, this is so easy if it doesn't require anything..
@shorty1k That's cool. does this mod chip work on the newer smaller model of the PSOne? the whiter one? and can you send me a link on where to buy one of these
when you burn a game, will it still work with a blank music cd or does it have to be on a blank dvd cd cause i tried it with a music cd and it didnt work
He said it didn't in the video. The reason he used it as an example is because it's easy to tell when to swap the discs. The piracy warning screen is your indicator.
How do you put the silver tape like into the ps2? Help please.
Would opening the disk tray with a swap key work instead of taking it apart?
The menu trick only works on V9 and up models, you have to boot the system with the disc already in the console to swap if your PS2 is V8 and lower.
What camera did you use =) ?
@shorty1k I did this exact same thing on my FAT Ps2, and i didn't have to block off any ports? I'm looking into geting a PSone and using this same trick but i don't want the laser to die. I'm curious as to why that happens
What kind of disk can i use some of my games are cd-roms or dvd-r or +r's?
Wow dude...this looks awesome as hell and I can't wait to do it. I have a question about burning games...what am I supposed to do when I have 3 parts to a game and in the rar file there is an "img" file a "ccd" file and a "sub" file. I'm just sort of confused on how to actually burn it and stuff. Thanks a whole bunch for this video though!
Now i dont have to look from store to store for games tht i want ... thnk you so much
So after the ps2 is being mod its gonna stay opened up to play burnt games? It has to?
is the wire going from the ps2 to the lid important because i have a fat ps2
does it work fo ps2 backups? because its not working for me, the logo doesnt pop up first, so Im not entirely sure when to switch the back up for the original, ill try more combinations though
Hey I got a question. I got a fat ps2 and I do tried the hotswap with my san andreas and it gets all laggy and freezes. Also when I swap Instead of the playstation 2 symbol it takes me to this thing where its all red and saying '' Please insert a playstation or playstation format game''
do i have to do this procedure once or everytime i want to play that burnt game?
will it work with the cracked games on cd, or do you have to have dvd?
Does electrical tape melt if you put it inside your ps2
...or you could just use a Slide Card (homemade with a Credit Card or even any plastic thing) to swap the disks.
Nice video dude :o.
so is your ps2 moded already...or can u play copied games with out moding like that...n can u play japanise games this way?
um ok so after i do a swap the first time do i have to keep swaping every time i wanna play a game? or how does that work. because if i have to keep going through that process every time i wanna play a burnt game the tutorial wasn't worth it
@shorty1k how is it hard on the laser? just curious
What is the CD u put first is that runbackup CD how to modify
So, do I have to do this EVERY TIME when I want to play a backup game? Or I have to do this only ONCE?
Every time but i found that i only have to swap disks once
Do you need to do this every time , you want to play a copied disk ?
Just wondering will the PS2 play japanese games even tho its not a japanese PS2? Just wondering if the disk swapping could help with that.
Can run DVDs too?
When you take out the burn cd an lock of the ps2 and you turn it on back and put in back the burn cd it works again?
No, you must do this everytime because what it's doing is its reading a real game, then when you switch, the little thing that reads in the middle near the hole of its a Ps game or not, it doesn't read it all the time, only at the times when he needed the real game
@usernamethis I'm not sure what it is about the ports that get blocked off when doing this mod, but the laser doesn't like it. I've gone through 3 lasers very fast doing mods like this and when I removed the tape from these blocked ports and ran it normal, the laser was much better. I haven't looked into why this is, but I simply know from my own experience. Swap mods in general are also very hard on the drive motor, since it's being physically forced to stop spinning.
Nice video thanks!!!
does it work with ps2 games? and do u just get a torrent and put it on a disc?
ok so i get a normal ps1 game and swap it with a differnt burnt ps2 game and it will work?
Do you know hard that's going to be to swap when it says to put in disc 2 of Metal Gear Solid?! I wonder how that works
u have a good video but the only thing is do u have to keep ur ps2 broken and ugly like that if you wonna play burnt disks or can u fix it up a bit.
does this only work for ps1 games or can i start a ps 1 game then put a ps2 game in?
I'm wondering if that only works for PS1 games? I burned Mortal Kombat 3, a ps1 game, but I don't have any ps1 games so can I just put in ANY ps2 game and swap it out?
do you have to do that every time you wanna play a burnt game?
dude u did an awesome job :D
the problem is i bought a ps1 game castlevania symphony of night and whenever i try to run it i get the ERD message
store clerk said i could play with a ps2 memory card and ps2 controller
the back of the disc is jet-black so it could be painted or something but it doesnt look like paint
the modle number is SCPH-39001
so whats the problem? disc? the laser disc reader? do i need a ps1 controller / memory card??
Hey. How do u plug that cable back in if you unplugged it?
So like do i have to keep my ps2 opened up like that from now on?
Now, if I have swap magic will this work with import games as well?
My ps2 phat looks different on the inside. I do not have that cord . My buttons are attached to the console, and also the top of the dvd drive has only 2 screws . Why ?
masterpiece video great job man
Do u have to keep it disassembled?
Would this work for a back up copy of Action Replay Max?
when u do this can it play ps2 and ps1 games or just ps1games only
do you need to do that every time to play a back up
It has to be a ps1 game that you use during the disc swap? it can't be a ps2 game?
Edit: nvm just read video description
Does this work with PS2 games as well? I know it works with PSx as I did this back in the day with my original PS1.
my psx is top load not front load so I don't have to dismantle it. and I still have it.
Everytime I beat a game in ready 2 rumble on arcade mode it always clickin
i have a fat ps2 but i have a ps3 super slim but i miss the days when i was playing ps2.!
I've been trying for over an hour, and I never get the warning sign, it just boots my original ps1 game...Is it possible that it just doesn't work with some games? My PS1 Disc is Final Fantasy XI Disc 1, and I'm trying to run a backup of Parasite Eve 1. (And yes, it's burned properly.)
may I ask what version your ps2 is?
Hey so when i switch the cds and put the not real one it stops spinning after i put the not real one back in
so will this play burned ps2 games?
i want to try this to play a kingdom hearts 2 final mix game.
Do you have to use the same game do play the burned games
I need help on doing this
do i just download a game on the disk and do this or what
Why do you need to change disks when it changes speeds?
ok so my ps2's tray came out how do i put it back in when i try the laser and friends rise up and block it from going back in and one more problem is that my disk jumps out of the tray when i play it without the top on
Does it work with ps2 games too? Do the same as you did, just with a ps2 game?????
Sorry for all the questions. Thank you!
thnks, it did work. thank you
I had slim and a fat ps2 but the fat one the red thing didnt even come up and read the disk can anyone help me?
Yes there is there this little slot you can put it back in, it took me like half an hour of fiddling to get it in.
