that second one should work, all you should really need is the swap magic 3.6 and a way to keep the 2-3 switchs down

why not use the free MC Boot and run everything you want without hassle? It run from your memorycard, not warranty void or anything.

I second the Free MC Boot idea.  Caveat being that you'll have to burn all your discs again because they need a small modification to the images before burning...

Once you do a little research on the subject, if you decide that you want to go the FMCB route, I'm offering to make you a FMCB memory card.  Just mail me a memory card and return postage.  This goes for anyone else who might want it done too, just PM me for the address and stuff.

Honestly, it's the easiest console mod that has ever existed.  I can literally do all the work it requires in less than a minute.  The program takes a little while to complete of course (I don't recall how long.)

The only tough thing about it is that you need to be able to run unsigned code to install it (which of course having a card with Free MC Boot allows you to do.  It's one of those "you need one to make one" situations...  Fortunately for me I already had a PS2 with a modchip in it when I made the first card.  Now I just use Free MC Boot to make more Free MC Boot!

I had a slim ps2, I watched a youtube vid about it and bought a swap disc, taped over some sensors (had to take it apart but it was really easy with the video)  and It worked fine. Dont bother buying any of the other stuff just get the disc.

I lost my DVD rom swap disc and need to get a new one now  :angry:
