Swap Magic Ps1 Games
I'v been wanting to mod our PlayStation 2 for a while, ever since I modded my Wii U (in Wii mode). However, the lack of true internal storage has lead me to a brick wall.Clearly, there's no coldboot softmod for the system, so I'll have to resort to the two most popular methods: Swap Magic and FreeMCBoot.Of course, both have their pros and cons.In favor of Swap Magic:.
Hey.:) So I have a Swap Magic 3.6 with both DVD and CD format discs. The DVD format ones work like a charm with PS2 import games (haven't tried any.
Doesn't Clog Mempak. Easy Setup.
Built-In Action Replay. Satisfaction of Inserting Discs. Five BucksIn favor of FreeMCBoot:. Makita 6935fd impact drivers for mac.
Installs to Mempak. One-Time Setup.
Requires Action Replay Anyway. Saves Discs for Dreamcast. Lower Cost Over TimeOverall, both options have advantages that cancel each other out.
However, there is one thing holding FreeMCBoot back from being the best choice.The fifth and sixth letters in its name.The PlayStation 2 can only support two mempaks at a time, and the first time I thought about hacking the ol' PS2, I read that there's a chance that FMCB will corrupt the card with the only option of recovering it being to format it.We already have two mempaks; one for PS2 games, and one for PSX games.And the save files on the PS2 one.they're a part of my childhood. Watching my father play Kingdom Hearts 2 was just what I did until he got a Wii for his birthday and hacked it.
(Then we moved on to Twilight Princess. I was three at the time.)Formatting this 8MB mempak would be stripping part of my life away from me. I don't want another part of my childhood lost.
Therefore, FreeMCBoot is an option that I'm not instantly willing to take.Also the mempak is full. Kinda shoots it down right there.

If you can even find them, and if they actually still work if you manage to get some. You really can't afford $5-$10 for another card? How much are you going to pay for the shit-tastic Swap Magic discs? And if it's not a $$$ issue. Why so hell bent against buying another card?It's ultimately your choice, but maybe don't ask for help and suggestions and then tell people 'NO.' When they give you the answers.
NOTE FROM Richard HARVEY Concerto Antico is a suite of tunes based on old dance and song forms from differents parts of Europe. I use the 'concerto', though, in its original sense to mean a concerted, collaborative effort, with the guitar often involved in interplay with or accompanying a variety of other instruments.

I'll let someone else take over from here since you seem to want help but not want to do what it takes because it's too much work. Feel free to waste the mem card $ on Swap Magic discs that you'll be paying MUCH more for and probably won't even work when they arrive. One thing I can't help, is people who ask for help but then can't help themselves when given the solution. Click to expand.1) The point I thought was common sense. To have larger mem cards so you can have FMCB, other elfs you're probably going to want on the card, and a good amount of saves2) Every capacity of mem card can also be bought for $5 on eBay vs Swap Magic3) What's wrong with having more than two4) Good dealDon't forget that you can set up FMCB to load from either mem card slot.
There are variables in the settings to look for it slot 1 or slot 2, and if it doesn't find it to look on the other. That prevents having to swap your mem cards around if the save you need is in the opposite slot.

I'm completely fine with getting an HDD with a $15 Amazon gift card that I found at the bottom of my desk drawer (if it still works).Though first, I'm gonna see if I can back up all my saves with uLauncherELF without installing FreeMCBoot beforehand. I'd imagine it's possible, seeing as how the instructions say that uLauncherELF runs the FreeMCBoot installer.
I'm downloading a Ratchet Deadlocked ISO as we speak.
