    Hi,

    I've just bought V13 PS2 and with no suprise, the slim tools is unusable. There is no room. I think that only solution to make my PS2 work with Magic Swap is to use Magic Keys 2.
    http://www.magickeys.net/MagicKeys 2.html
    But I can't buy them in my country (Czech Republic).

    So I would like to create tool C by myself, homebrew stuff :)

    So my question is for owners of magic keys 2. Would you be so nice and measure the tool C and put aproximal sizes of it here?
    I am interested in "depth" and "lenght" of the thin part.

    So I've done it.

    It's quite easy (or I was incredibly lucky). I took normal wire I usually use for soldering electronics. I removed its isolation with knife and folded about 5 mm form its end. Then I tried to put it between two metal pieces in PS2 V13. I had DVD inside so I could quicky see if I pressed the switch hidden inside. Then I remembered depth of vertical part hidden in PS2 and made another fold in that remembered point. I left about 3 cms on the other (unfolded) end and created something like '@' from it. Then I put it inside PS2 and used tape to stick the '@' to PS2.

    It took me about 20 minutes I'll create better version which will allow closing of the CD-TRAY. I'll take some photos.

    Resume: It's possible to run SWAP MAGIC 3.6 on V13 PS2 WITHNOUT opening it and using Magic Keys 2.

    Hi there ,

    magesan - I have the exact same problem ! I have a black V13 PS2 and i can't use the C tool or any other tool available on the market except for Magic Keys 2 ... And they are not available in my country ( Poland )

    So if you could be so kind and share the exact way you created the third part by yourself fotos , measurements , steps and stuff I ( and I think in the upcoming days/weeks/months as V13 gets spread and lots of people ) would really appreciate it.

    I could find them in UK and Spain Based stores - but the shipping is very pricey ... - like 5 pounds when the product is 9 pounds ..
    not sure if we can put adresses of stores ( advertisement and stuff ) but just google magickeys 2 and you get the stores as results

    magesan : my question still stands , will really appreciate it - as getting it only for a piece of metal , and paying for it like 15 uk pounds is not a nice vision :/

    Hi guys
    You can get the magic keys 2 and the original slimtool at www.techwizad.com. They are based in the Uk and ship all over Europe.

    You can also try magickeys.net they should have distributers on there.
