PS2 And Swap Magic Help~PLEASE READ~

maybe you could explain ALL that you did during.

 

Is this by chance a V12 PS2. You havent said what model you have.
If yes then read this and see if it helps.

I have to agree with the above, it helps everyone better if when making a post to tell us everything you have already done, and what model you have etc.

 

im not sure of the version but it is a slim 70012. and the last post buy that one guy KD17 isnt that for the fat version of the ps2 ? since i dont think the slim has a white round dial. atleast that's what everyone says. also ive tried doing the qtip thingy, and i checked the sticky about magic swap which is this thread i think. that didnt help either =[

 

My point of that link was to show you KooWater's Post about his V12 and how he had to keep it turned off for about 10 to 15 mins (or until its not warm anymore) then put swap magic in. then it worked. its probably the laser cuz the 70012 has/had problems with them.

So if you have tried everything then I guess this is your only alternative.

The V12 is well known for its laser issue, you can do a different search I am sure for an new laser that is probably cheaper than that place. I just wanted to point out its issue.

 

Hi i'm a newbie to this whole pgen thingy: Hear me out: i got the pgen v151 from the internet. I already have roms i own, I got the system cnf and edited to fit the pgen 151 code and all that : i got nero to burn the cd. I have a mod ps2: i've tried using nero to burn pgen on dvd-r and dvd-rw, cd-r (And i fixed the settings to fit for each). But none of them work on my mod ps2. I borrowed a snes station disc from one of my friends and it boots up perfectly with no hassles: i've been to soo many forums to get help but all of them seem one step ahead. I feel i've omissed something. when i checked the snes-station disc i saw an install.cnf file: it wasn't present in my compilation. Do i need a pgen install file as well? is this the problem? i need to know and i need your help or anyone's. This is very frustrating................

 

I was going to point you in this direction
http://psx-scene.com/forums/sony-news/54013-pgen-1-5-a.html
and found you have posted there and got an answer to your question.
Let us know if it works out ok for you.
I like a person who goes searching when no one has answered your question yet. Good stuff.

 

Yeah* I posted the same question: learnt you can't really wait on just one person y'know. Thanks man. They told me to use a cdgenps2 to create an ISO, they even made one for me and it works on my mod PS2 alright* but now i need to know how to make an ISO by myself using the cdgenps2. Cuz when i tried to do it, i really messed up. If you have a tutorial on this it would help me a lot.......

 

If you scroll down the page in this tutorial you will see how to use cdgenPS2.
I myself use nero and choose UDF/ISO DVD option to create an ISO. You just need to copy the files you want to the compilation and it will create an ISO.

 

Hey guys, new to this site. I have a couple of questions.

I own an NTSC slim PS2, purchased in summer/fall 2006. The model number is SCPH-75001. I don't know what the V is. I am considering purchasing a version of Swap Magic in order to play imported games, specifically the Japanese version of Final Fantasy X International. Quick question: would the following Slim Tool and Swap Magic 3.6 Combo be enough for this task? The product page implies that everything you need is all right there, but now I've been hearing about "Magic Keys." Would I need that in addition? Secondly, would this work with my model of PS2? The product page states that its "compatible with the
new Slim SCPH-700xx V12 PS2." My PS2 model number (and possibly V) is higher than that, so will it still work? Thanks.

 

Sorry for the double post, but I just found out that my PS2 is V15.

 

You have a V14, that is the same number mine is SCPH-75001
You would have to use magic keys or the tape and tissue method, as the slim tool is for the V12. The reason being the V13-14 have the metal tab blocking the way of Tool C.
V12

V14

Tape and tissue methods:

http://www.geocities.com/scorcci/tutoriais/pstwo_easy_mode.html

And I play Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy X-2 with my SM 3.8 coder and magic keys.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I just read somewhere that the 75001 can either be a v14 or v15. There is a tiny lowercase letter at the end of the model number on the PS2. If it's an a, it's a v14, and if it's a b, it's a v15 (just read it and can't find the link, ugh). I have a b.

I'm thinking about getting this:


It's a little pricey, but it looks to be certain it'll work with my PS2. I'm not sure that site is entirely trustworthy, though. Can you guys give me any recommendations to buy a Swap Magic 3.8 plus Magic Keys that'll work with v14/15? Thanks!

 

*places to buy, I mean.

 

Your right I found it here for your version.Didn't know that lol.
http://www.ps2laser.co.uk/id24.htm

Anyway yes modchip.com is fine to buy from, I bought from them, and yes thats the one you will need.
The price isn't too far off. I paid $39.95 for mine and $13.95 for my magic keys over a year or so ago.
Oh yeah,Also instead of double posting, there is an edit button on top right of your posts, so you can just add more info if you want.

 

D'oh! Didn't see that edit button. And thanks, sounds great, you've been a great help.

 

Your welcome and if you have any problems when you get it, just let me know.
Also if you need any help with backups,media to use, burning just read my faqs in my signature. Lots of good info and help to get you started.

 

Thanks again. I've ordered everything from modchip.com and can't wait until it arrives.

One thing I forgot to ask. Will my American memory card be compatible with imported games?

 

Thats cool, and yes your memory card is fine. The PS2 memory cards are all the same.

 

I have a question regarding my 77001b, V15 PS2 Black Slim: what can it run? I want to buy either a SM 3.6 or a SM 3 CODER that works up to V13, but I don't know if either of those work. Therefore, I come to ask before I make an uneducated purchase. With that said, I want to word these following questions in such a way as to where the only possible answers are yes or no and replying with "I have -such and such- but this isn't related to your questions" may or may not help me: can I use SM 3.6 or SM 3 CODER on a V15 Slim? And will Magic Keys V3 fix the "key 3" problem?

I'd REALLY appreciate an answer to both of my questions as I am begging to play Final Fantasy X: International and Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+, especially Re: Chain of Memories.
