just out of curiosity......is there a problem with the first link?

[Ninkul]

not that i know of, i just put the link there twice, lol, im just excited i got it working, seriously, i didnt find a tutorial that made much sense.

Ill put this on a better server with unlimited bandwidth as soon as i get the chance to (when application gets validated), unles someone can find me a webserver thats roughly as good as my one that im validating with. (at LEAST 25mb storage, unlimited bandwidth, mysql and php), all free. The one im validating actually has 250mb storage lol, a bit off topic but erm, lol.

When you first get it working do you have to do the swap trick over and over again? I don't have time to read the guide. I was just curious.

[Ninkul]

heres a quick explaination:
After installing it on your memory card, you can use almost any legit psx disc to use INSTEAD of swap magic, my swap magic disc looks like its getting a lil munted so, thats why i needed this, only problem is, it doesnt run some/all homebrew properly. Ill be testing it with pgen sometime in future, just gotta find some good games for it, lol.

I'm taking it that you need the slide-tool for this. You (i think it was you) said you could make your own slide card where do I get this the directions at.

Its very simple to create your own slide card. I used THIS site to create my slide card. Good luck

[Mr. Crow]

Awesome I'll be doing this soon enough. Ok a few quick questions. 1. Can this hurt your PS2 in anyway? And 2. Can online games decect these things?

I really cant answer your question bud cuz i dont know. Ive used it before and it failed. Latter I found out that this doesnt work on v7 ps2. So make sure you dont have a v7 or it wont work.

[Mr. Crow]

Ahh crap mines V7. Well thanks for tell me that.

The measurements for itself are wrong, is it just me? *meep*

It SAYS length should be 3.5"/89mm, its actually roughly about 5"/157mm (meep).

AND

Width:
1.5"/35mm, it SAYS 2.25"/57mm

AM I SERIOUSLY DOING SOMETHING WRONG??? I copied it into photoshop then clicked print WITHOUT scaling.

It will work on a V7. However, there are a few new games that have a new form of double-check protection that apple to V7+ consoles. To get around this, you can simply burn a CDLoader disc. CogSwapLoader itself includes a certain number of work-arounds for double-check protection, but not quite as many as CDLoader.

It cannot harm your PS2 if done properly - as long as you don't tug the white pin forcefully or anything.

I may try it so I can play SNESStation and that div player on my PS2.

[Mr. Crow]

So whats CDloader anyways. Is it this right http://www.hostultra.com/~liamv/cdloader.htm
So I might have a chance to run this now.

[Ninkul]

ps2reality's media player aint so hot with it, it doesnt index the movies and it doesnt play half the mp3s, i tried it.

If you wanna do testing, you would probably want to:

Burn media player (without anything on it) onto one cd

Burn your mp3s and stuff onto another cd (remember, mode 2 / xa)

Thats what i did, works fine . I wonder if it works with snes station, i know snes station works fine with cogswap, just not sure if it can load external cds. Im not going to do any more snes station stuff until the next version comes out, this one is a little too slow for me and i CANT play without 8-bit sounds, or is it 16-bit, hell knows, lol.
