Off the subject a bit now from original post,but after purchasing the magic keys (plastic ones) i have accidentley pushed the one that goes next too the hinge completely inside the console. I take it i will have too open it now to retrieve the piece back or could i try another?
Do not buy it there... It doesn't cost $54. SwapMagic 3.6 Plus only cost about 22-26 USD. MagicSwitch v3 only cost 4-8 USD + shipping fee
thanks for replying and i will buy it from here: http://www.ultimateconsoleguides.com/MagicKeys.htm but my real question is if it will work with ps2 SCPH-79001? another question is that i have heard that you have to bend a tool slightly to fit it in, how is this possible?
Those in fact DO work with the 79001, only thing that sucks with these and ALL ps2 slims after SCPH-75001, is the USB, for instance say I downladed a code breaker save and wanted to transfer it from my USB flash drive to my memory card, it won't allow me too (this is why Code Majic doesn't work on these slims) **if that makes any sense** as far as only doing backups with the 79001 ps2, the magic keys (or Ace's cardboard & straw mod) with the ACTUAL ORIGINAL Swap Magic discs do in deed work flawlessly. As for "bending" I didn't have to bend any of mine, one thing you might want to do though is check out the double stick tape they use, on the set of magic keys I got I noticed that the tape on the #2 key (key that slides the cd switch to the right) had 2 layers of double stick tape on it (basically when you put a disc in the key would rub on the disc causing scratches) so just watch out for that, other than those minor things, the keys work great and are easily removable ect ect
thanks for the reply and as you mentioned i tried the Ace's cardboard & straw mod (my magic keys 2 and swap magic 3.8 have not arrived yet) and it does work. although the 3rd peace gives trouble closing the lid but I'll wait and see how the magic keys 2 work. For all in doubt: the magic keys will work on ps2 79001 as i have tried the cardboard and straw trick.
It is normal that the SwapMagic DVD is like "made in china"? I only see "Magic 3 plus" in it. Also, it didn't come in a box. I receive it and it doesn't like genuine. It's like it was made from China.
My disks looked cheap too, but they do look like the pics on the swap magic site. I have one of the newer PS2's (the white one) and I can't get the CD-ROM driver disc to work. It attempts to spin up, makes some clicking noises and quits. Has anyone else experienced problems like this on the new PS2s? Or should I just return the disc for a replacement?
i have the white slim ps2 also Just received the magickeys2 and the magic 3.6 THe question is,where do i put what ? thanks
