    Can you install backups to HDLoader using SwapMagic?

    If so, how? I have a no-solder modchip which swaps discs by holding EJECT for a couple seconds.

    specific steps? I tried swapping before asking earlier, and it would lock up. When do I swap for BACKUP?

    Not working for me. The disc never stops spinning... Could it be cause I'm using the memory card exploit to load HDLoader? Anyone tried it this way?

    thats what i use. you need to insert swapmagic before you hit install and wait a few seconds, then hit install and wait a few more seconds, then insert backup.
