Ace's guides: A TRUE working exploit for slim PlayStation 2s(CD, Memory Card, and USB Memory Stick) Also available for users of fat PlayStation 2s.

im using usb card stick and when i get to cogswappy screen i put in dvd and it makes wierd clicky noises and then nada nothing TELL ME HOW TO PLAY DVDS PLEASE i am desperate i searched forever and cant a get a straight answer for ps2 slim jims

 

Pika, you might not be using CogSwap correctly. Make sure you put in the high TOC DVD and wait for the yellow cd to turn purple. Once this happens, it will say 'Use Cogswap.' At this point you should swap out the high TOC DVD with the backup DVD you want to play.

This should do you well.

The other thing is, you must make sure that the high TOC game is larger in size than the backup you want to play. This is crucial.

Good luck

 

erm how do i load cog swap from the magic swap screen?

 

like i wanna load cogswap from a usb stick dont i amke like a swapmagic folder and rename it to something and press up and somethin?

 

ok i got up to cogswap screen using AR method and um its already purple when it pops up and i put grand turismo and nothing just makes weird clicks and stays purple

 

Are you putting the high-TOC game in after you load with AR, then swapping with your backup?

So, you should:

1. Take out AR Max(CD is blue).

2. Put in high-TOC. Weight for CD to turn yellow. Press X. Cd turns purple.

4. Swap with whatever method you use. Press X.

5. If game did not load, check your burn methods. Maybe it's a bad disc.

 

praise the holy exploit god! my dvd back up works and when it saids games have to be 4gig trust me 3.80 gig wont work! needa quick cheap and fun 4.3 gig game? metal gear solid 2 i picked it up for 4 bucks used and now im playing my soul calibur games! ty so so so sooooooooooooo much now i dont have to beg my cousin for dvd version of magic swap muhahahahah

 

Holla Ace have you got pictures on the cardboard and straw method yet? also i cant figure out the straw bit. i stick the 5cm piece of staw down and it seemed that there was enough space to go down for a 0cm piece of straw so i got a ten cm piece of straw and it stoppeed going down but the disk still wouldnt spin help!

 

i only covered the lid sensor an thats it

 

Did you try cutting the straw in half lengthwise? Like that, you'll have only one layer of straw(should be pretty easy to put in like that). Remember, even if you have 1 layer, you should still flatten it with a heavy object. As for the pictures, I STILL didn't decide what digital camera to get and I don't know what kind of USB cable to get for my cell to transfer pictures to my computer.

 

lol ok anyway i did the proper method that voids my warranty where the sensor c is taped town and where the diskj break is removed and where the sensor a is done with tissue. and i got my backup to load wiked

 

question why do all my games freeze after 20-30 mins? if i use cogswappy or swap magic but never my original games...

 

it depends but it's probably because of your burn media or the speed you burn it at.

 

What brand of DVDs are you using and what's their maximum burn speed(4X, 8X, etc.)? Some brands use some sort of really cheap and crappy dye on their discs(mostly Memorex). Also specify if they're made in Japan, Taiwan, etc. Most Japanese media is better than those made in Taiwan.

 

wiked tutorial got my ps2 to load backups XD

 

i bought 100 memorex dvds...

 

lool memorex are absolute bullsh*t

 

Memorex is pure [bold]JUNK[/bold]. Most of those discs use really crappy dyes(made by CMC Magnetics) that go bad after 6 months, most of the time, and will shorten the life of your PlayStation 2's laser.

can anyone help me with this i'm having problems loading and elf file from my hard drive nothing seems to work i've loaded the mega pack and installed the appz to my hdd but when i run them all i get is a red screen of death. is this because i installed DMS HDD Explorer Installer v1.31 when im running toxic os .41?

 

If you are on a Slim PS2 then it won't boot them off of a hard drive, it will off of a USB pen drive or a memory card but not a hard drive, it's one of the features not yet added to toxic.
