very helpful thanx....now just tell me which of these games are worth the trouble to back-up!! Give me ya top 10 out of these games.

Wow, that is a lot of help! Thank you so much! I had no ideas some of these games would be CD-Rom games.

hi i just wanted to ask that from where did u get these games from
did u downloaded them or wat
i hav heard that swap magic disks donot play DVD rips then how were u able to play these games
And also wanted to ask along with ur swap magic wat else do u hav a no solder mod orr a flip top
Thanx

Hi,
The list that I have is one that I have compiled from different sources. But these are games that you can copy on to a cdr. I have swap magic discs and a fliptop. This combination works extraordinarily great. You just have to copy the games track at once and you can play. I don't think the swap magic discs work with ripped games because I haven't tried it yet.

u havnot tried these games yet ok!!!!!!
But u may be having any game on Cd
Try it and tell me does it work or not
Cause i am also going for a chip as the stupid Ar2 V2 and Sbox which i hav donot play any DVD
So i wanted to know which one should i go for a magic 3.1 or Swap disks + flip top because both r of same price to me
I hav got someone who an solder the magic 3.1 for 20$
Thanx reply soon

Telescope, I think you should go for the Magic 3.1. The only reason to get a swap disc solution, is if you don't want to solder yourself or if you think it's to expensive to have it done by someone else. In your case you got a great deal. Go for it! :D

Hi,
All of the games that are on the list are cd-rom based. NONE of them are dvd based. So if you pop one of the games in your computer, you can burn an exact copy of that game on a cdr. I think Magic 3.1 is a great solution. I didn't get it because, I really don't know how to solder and I couldn't find anyone to do it for me.
Can anyone please tell me if the swap magic discs work with pal and jap original games and pal backups.
THANKS!

Fifa 2002 is DVD Based

Just a thought about Fifa 2002... Maybe the Europe version is on DVD while the US version is on CD?

Many games in Europe are in more than one language, so it's more likely that those version are on DVD.

Could you please make a mark if a game is PAL or NTSC version?

Btw, I don't know if this applies to all Playstation originals, but I've noticed that all the CD games I've got are blue underneath, while the DVD games are silver.

Hi,
All of the games I have listed are NTSC. Maybe one or two are PAL but I'm fairly positive that all of them are NTSC.

Thanks

I have the USA version of Fifa 2002 and its definately a DVD based game

Hi,
Ok I don't want to argue. Fifa 2002 is DVD based. But the rest of them are cd based.

I hate to bring up an old thread, but I thought that I'd note that Jak and Daxter is a DVD game, not CD. No big deal. Maybe someone might find this useful.

Do you know which games are PAL? Pls state them. If a NTSC game is CD based, is it likely the same game in PAL format is CD based? Do they sell CD based games in the UK?

The Sims NTSC is DVD based also... Maybe this list needs to be refined a little...

I have the sims and I have the original copy which on the case says CD, I have also backed it up with my CD Burner.

me too, cheib
i'm looking at my dear baby boy as we speak
his name is mudface

For PAL PS2's the ones from the list I have on DVD+R are Capcom vs SNK 2, Dave Mirra 2 & The Thing

2 more CD based PS2 games:
Sega bass fishing duel (NTSC|U/C)
Winning Eleven 6 - Final Evolution (NTSC|J)

If anyone isn't sure if the PAL version of the above games are also CD-based, refer to this site: http://covertarget.com/ct/2/a.html
It provides you with PS2 covers. All you have to do is click on a back cover and look at the bottom to see if the game is CD or DVD based.
Hope this helped.
PS. Anyone know where i can get hold of "Bloody Roar 3" in the UK?

Jmoney & cheib, does your copy of 'the sims' work fine? Did u have to patch it or bypass any kind of protection, or did you just do a straight 1:1 copy? Because I'm thinking of backing up 'the sims' which is cd based. (PAL)

all the pics on http://covertarget.com/ct/2/a.html are broken links. Anyone else agree?

Which links are broke? I've not had a broken link on it all the time i have used it?!

Is there a list of what games won't work with the flip top lid? I have a backup of Bomberman Jetters and I get the blue border, but the game never loads up.

I'm thinking of getting a Magic 3.1 installed, because it's less hassle and doesn't require any swapping. Would I be able to have a Magic 3.1 and leave on the flip top?
