How can I use Swap Magic on Japan PS3 to load PAL PS2 original games or DVD backups?
thanks

Yes and I got Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix to work but it plays with no sound

Does it still work only on launch units or what?
I've got 80GB MGS4 Bundle, NTSC. Do I even have to bother?
Thanks in advance.

Where would you guys recommend buying the swap magic from (preferrably v3.8)? I've looked at a lot of stores, but only found one that sold the 3.8, but I found plenty that sold the 3.6. Is there that big of a difference?

No, you won't be using Swap Magic directly, so the cheats (in CODER/3.8) probably won't work. Get 3.6, it works in the same way.

Thanks for the info! I really didn't think about it that way! Where did you order yours from?

gixermann, I feel your pain. I have the exact same problem that you have. After following the easy method, I boot the game up to view a beautiful black screen. Then I must press the guide button to go to the dashboard. I do not see this as being a USB problem at all. The ps3 loads the loader, and shows the game when viewing the loader. With another drive that I own, the ps3 will not do either. I've used an old ipod, and 2 different staples drive, and they all show the black screen. I wish somebody would just help. I wasted 30 dollars on these two discs. It seems you haven't posted anything in a while. If you have any progress, please respond.

Edit: As I continue to backtrack through this thread, I see countless people saying they get the black screen. Will no single person address this issue at all? Can the person who wrote this guide please tell us if he had similar problems with game? So far I've tried God Hand and Persona 4. None of them worked. And, if half of the ps2 library doesn't work, and I just happen to be wanting to play quality games that are in that category, I'm going pissed. I didn't purchase this to play guitar hero. I also see this patching stuff with DNS files or whatnot. PLEASE! If such patching is necessary, state it in the guide! Throughout these posts, I'm just attaining fragments of information about such patching. Not enough to actually understand what to do in simple, effective way. Please don't don't say "find it in the forum", or something along those lines. Have you seen the help section? Unanswered, Unanswered, Unanswered, Unanswered, Unanswered...

Those that help,do indeed help,those of us that know the answers to questions reply in the help section,if you feel questions arnt being answered,please feel free to answer them yourself....if you are able to.

Also if a guide isnt up to your high standards,instead of complaining,make one of a higher class yourself.
