Swap Magic

[spiffy girl]

I'm having trouble playing PS1 games on my PS2. I use swap magic (CD Version) but i get a message saying invalid PS2 disc. When I eject the disk (not swaping) I get a message saying not enough TOC/Need more TOC. Help??

Are the games imported from another country?

 

[spiffy girl]

no i'm burn them. i 'DL".

Make sure you're burning an ISO that is proven to work.

Make sure when you do the swap magic you:
1.) Put in the Swap Magic CD
2.) When the menu comes up, choose your region/setting, and use the Slide Tool/Magic Keys/Swap Cover to swap out the Swap Magic CD with your burned PS1 CD.
3.) Let it load.

The game won't function correctly if you have it on the wrong region or settings, if you don't use the CD (not DVD), or if you burned the CD incorrectly or using a faulty ISO.

I suggest using Alcohol 120% to burn your CDs.

i have a ROM file of the PS1 game. i'm assuming it's different from ISO. i'll use an ISO file instead.

Yeah, ROM's are used for emulators, which you'll have to download and play on your computer.

ISO's can do the same as roms, but are used more for cd's, or so I'm told.

I only really use roms. . .so I wouldn't know firsthand. . .

 

[Dogenzaka]

ROMs are pretty much ISOs that have been sent to a factory to be mutated and sex-changed into a ROM.
ROMs are copies of games that can be read on an Emulator.


ISO = bare data ripped from the CD/DVD.
ROM = Transfigured ISO for play on Emulators.

Burn the CD with the ISO, instead of the ROM. As ROMs are used to play on Emulators on the computer.

ok...i found a site that says they provide PS1 ISOs. So i have disc 1 out of the 3. I extracted the files and i get a folder containing files .ccd .cue .img and .sub
Can i use these to create an ISO?

Extract all the archives, then move all of the files to one folder. Burn that folder onto a DVD, and it should play as long as you run swap magic correctly.

I'm having trouble playing PS1 games on my PS2.

Swap Magic only allows you to play burned/imported PS2 games, not PS1 games.

 

[Fatal_Blade]

^ I think thats right, I went to the site and it said nothing about playing PS1 games. Though I've only used swap magic for ps2 imports.

 

[Dogenzaka]

Swap Magic only allows you to play burned/imported PS2 games, not PS1 games.

...No.
If you buy Swap Magic, you get a DVD disc for PS2 games, and a CD disc for PS1 games. Just like I did.

I burned a PS1 game a year ago and it worked just fine with Swap Magic CD version >_>

Extract all the archives, then move all of the files to one folder. Burn that folder onto a DVD, and it should play as long as you run swap magic correctly.

So i can burn the folder that contains .cue .ccd .img and .sub to a CD-R?

Swap Magic cannot boot PSX backups.

Swap Magic cannot boot PSX backups.

Yes it can.

Look at swapmagic3.com. I have swapmagic that came with a DVD version and CD version. CD version is to play PSX backups.

You should read other posts instead of reading the first post.

Incorrect, nowhere on the website does it say anything about booting a PS1 backup.

The CD version is used to boot CD PS2 games, CD PS2 games are ones like Tekken Tag, which were under 700MB. So no, Swap Magic can only boot PS2 backups and imports, it is not made for Playstation and it cannot boot PS1 backups.
