SwapMagic v3.8 disc and the payload on USB no shitswap involved reallyĮDIT: With UniROM you're also able of having disc-authenticate bypass with the luxury of cheats of Gameshark+PAR ala caetla! Cartridge must to be least 256k size the time of this typing Same as for softmod unleash your PS2 and the way recently I got to play with tonyhax in order to transfer the tonyhax saves, clever boot-discing minus PSXChange's brute-force hold on lid-switch. Mistamontiel wrote:It's called PSXChange, and/or UniROM for parallel port cartridge, and/or tonyhax my friend! Then you exit out of the audio menu and it just boots. The audio menu swap trick for booting games has you swap out the legit game for the burned CD-R after the legit game disc stops spinning completely in the audio menu. This is also a solution for TonyHax and PS X Change. Can't load any saves on disc 2 made from disc 1 without having to insert disc 1 on load of said save) which is why I posted this. Then in the future you can just boot disc 2 and then load the save. That's not actually true if you do the swap trick mid game (you only do this once, then save while using disc 2. I know about TonyHax, but AFAIK the general consensus was for games that require you to replace disc 1 with disc 2 mid game with no save option TonyHax and things like the PS X Change could not allow you to finish the game. So long as you have a way to import the savefile to your memory card (a softmodded PS2 will allow you to transfer saves from a USB to a PS1 memory card, and devices like the DexDrive exists for directly transferring saves from PC), there's really not much reason to disc swap at all unless you're using the SCPH-1000 or an NTSC-J Playstation.

The only time I need to hot swap is when a game forces you to swap to disc 2 mid game with no save before and boot disc 2 option, or if the audio menu trick doesn't work (not an issue yet).

I have a Playstation manufactured in October 1995, so I've been doing this: Modchip is so cheap that all these hot swap methods are a thing of the past Megavolt85 wrote:do you seriously prefer hot swapping? I do have to turn the console to the left vertically for it to read CD-Rs (legit games read fine normally) but that’s just my specific console. Now that I have an October 1995 SCPH 1001 and use the audio menu swap trick to boot games this is the only ‘live’ swap needed to play Parasite Eve for me. Worked for me even on a SCPH 5501, which usually requires a double swap trick at boot. As soon as you see this happen, swap the legit PSX disc with your CD-R of Disc 2. The disc will start spinning fast (2x speed). Unblock the lid sensor so the PlayStation thinks the cover was open, and then block the lid sensor again (I use an aluminum foil rod I shaped for this). ![]() When you get to the Insert Disc 2 screen, swap in a legit PSX game. ![]() Lots of people will tell you that you just won’t be able to play these games without a mod chip. Parasite Eve for example, makes you insert disc 2 while playing disc 1. Some games don’t allow you to save on disc 1, and then boot disc 2 and continue. The Swap trick does indeed work mid game. Have not really seen this discussed anywhere, so maybe this might help some people out.
