Title: Swap Magic V3.6 Question
Post by: CVfan13 on June 08, 2008, 11:55:30 AM
I'm thinking about buying the Japanese PSX version of SotN that came with the game, artbook, and CD, but I need to know if the Swap Magic thing that lets you play imported PS2 games will also let you play import PSX games on an American PS2. This is what I am talking about:

If anybody knows, I would really appreciate it.

Well it says in the instructions it allows you to play imports or backups.

Do you think that includes both PSX and PS2 games though? I think it should work, but I'm not entirely sure...

Im sure that if anyone has it they could tell you. From a few sites that Ive read, its only for ps2 games. Though it is said you can play ps1 backups but you have to have the original disk aswell. I dunno, just read this and maybe it will help http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/454485

There's a CD-ROM version as well as a DVD-ROM version from what I've heard. Since SotN is a CD-ROM, you'll need a CD-ROM version of Swap Magic.

But the link I posted does say that it also comes with the DVD-ROM and CD-ROM versions, right? So everything I need is in that link?

In Reply To All,

Um... Swap Magic only works for Playstation2 games.  It does not work for Playstation1 games at all.

But what DOES work is Breaker Pro.  $30.  Plays Ps1 imports/burns on Ps2.

It's what I use to play Gradius Gaiden and Sexy Parodius.
