I'm planning to buy Swapmagic 3.6 Plus from modchip.ca but which tool should I use with that? I know there's the slide card, the flip cover, swap tool, but which one works for my ps2? Any recommendations?

The new slim PS2's need Magic Keys II. In most cases you can apply just the first 2 Keys and the 3rd key is not needed. When you apply the first two keys and the disc doesn't spin then use the straw method to block the 3rd censor. More info on blocking the 3rd censor here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/308926

thanks, so if I get Magic keys II and Swap Magic 3.6 Pro, that'll be all i need to play games I burned onto DVD?

Yup. If you can buy Swap Magic 3.8 for the same price then I would go for that instead. The only difference between 3.6 and 3.8 is the ability to use pre-loaded cheat codes I think.

thanks! but..do you know where to order Magic Key from, I live in Canada so many of the places only ship to the US...

http://www.modchip.ca

It's based in Canada and I hear its the best place to buy from.

hi yeah, i checked that website, but they don't sell Magic Key :(

Well, I ordered both Swap Magic 3.8 and Magic Keys II from http://foundmy.com

I am not sure how good their shipping to Canada is but at checkout they did offer shipping worldwide. Their customer support does not exist, they don't communicate much with you. The only email you'll get is that they shipped it.

I received my order exactly a week after I placed it in Texas, USA. If anyone has any experience placing an order with them from Canada please share.

Hi thanks for the website, but I found another site:
HERE It's the slim tool v3..would that work as well?

Not sure. I've only had experience with Magic Keys II.
