and pay double the money. + a lot of people have a AR and a PS1 game so why not save yourself some money ($24.95)? AND there's not swapping!

swap magic disc don't cost that much anymore and you save yourself the hassle of setting all this up to play a ps2 game, i can't argue with the no swapping, that's the only negative about swap magic.

Where? And can you go down to EB and buy a swap magic?
No, but you can buy online.
 
It's a shame that that doesn't work on a slim. The Magic Keys are a pain to install!
 
I could've sworn I've seen this tutorial before. But I forgot where...anyways, nice tutorial!

lol you can't buy a swap magic in EB games XD you can buy a set of swap magic discs with slider tools for about £24, that ain't much.
His point was that it is possible to buy everything you need in a brick and mortar store, without buying it on the internet and paying shipping and waiting.

Not really, playalladay method is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.
Once installed you can install/copy the exploit on other Memory Cards.
Swap Magic is only for one user.

I'm not so sure about his burn speed in step 3, but I will be starting to test this shortly myself.

General consensus at psx-scene.com is to burn at the highest speed that you get reliable backups with good media, and seems to be in 6-8X neighborhood from the majority of posters using various media and burners in one thread.

BTW: The voodoo burn speed continuously mantraed at psc-scene is 4X, which is what started the above thread, but IIRC it was a sub-question of another main topic by the OP.

Also don't forget to patch the backups before burning them to DVD or they just won't work, and with ESR CD games NEED to be converted to DVD format to work. from what I've read.
 
1) Buy a Memor32 mem card

2) load it with memento firmware (you only need to do this once)

3) patch ISO with memento disk patcher

4) burn image

5) play backup


Repeat from step 3 onwards whenever needed

Uh...why buy memento, when this does the same thing and does it better (ESR has better compatibility with games). It uses what you should already have with maybe the exception of the AR and all this stuff can be bought at your local game store.

memor32 can also use ESR elf files too so 100% compatability just about

+ the bonus of having a 32mb mem card that you can backup saves and transfer saves to the pc and back
