The SlideCard will not work without the SwapMagic Discs or similar
swap discs!
In the SwapMagic package, there are two discs:
- One SwapMagic disc for booting CD-R games
- One SwapMagic disc for booting DVD-R games
The discs contains all the needed information to boot a backup or original
import game using the SlideCard!
In short the procedure for booting a import / backup is like
this:
- Insert a SwapMagic Disc in your PlayStation2 (use CD or DVD version)
- Wait for the screen to say "Load Program" or "insert disc" - that takes a few seconds.
- Use the specially designed SlideCard
- Insert your CD or DVD backup or import game
- Use the specially designed SlideCard
- Press X on joypad and the game starts
You are now playing backups and imports easily without a ModChip! |

The SwapMagic colorindicator:
The SwapMagic software uses colors to tell you if something is wrong,
and if everything is OK.
- Blue: The backups is OK, and ready to boot.
(The game should work - if not, there is simply no way to play that
particular game using the Slide-Tool. You will properly need a Magic
V Modchip to play that game.)
- Red: SwapMagic cannot read the disc, there is no
way this disc is ever going to play.
( The most common problem is the use of bad quality CD-R or DVD-R
media. Try a more expensive brand like Verbatim Data-Life. More common
is the game not having been backed up properly. You need to use a
different method, different software, different CD / DVD writer etc.
Look in popular PS2 Forums for help making backups.)
- Green: The backups is OK, but SwapMagic is having
trouble reading / understanding the disc but goes ahead anyway.
(If the game plays, then OK. If not, the most common problem is simply
the use of bad quality CD-R or DVD-R media. Copy the backup to a better
disc, and it should work. This is a general problem with all backup
solutions. People are not using good quality media.)
