Hello,
My PS2 has no mod chip or hard drive (I've still got my warranty though) and I play backups/imorts with swap magic with a slide card, and after trying to burn Evilo's NeoCD as a swap disk game I thougt I would let you all know I have had some success, the NeoCD screen boots up, but thats it really. I tried then swapping the disk for a Neo Geo CD game, but the emulator disk had not stopped spinning (which is needed to use SwapMagic). I know its a lot to ask, but for a later version could you try getting a no hard drive required version of your emulator (possible on V 0.8 or 0.9 of NeoCD) or is it too complicated. I also managed to save the emulator to my hard drive using MemCard Exploit but that didn't work either, I think I will try it with the new version of NeoCD first. Thanks Evilo

that's weird because I had these problems with the 0.3 version but they're all gone with the 0.4...,now the disc stops spinning when the emu loads and the emu plays fine from hdd now (or mc).
what files did you transfer on your hdd (or burnt on cd)?

I also use swapmagic and it doesnt even boot :S I only get a red screen, do you have to fix the LBA values?

sorry ,I said a stupid thing : when I burned the emu and launched it with swap magic ,the cd doesn't stop spinning , so why when launched with a ps1 cd booting the emu from mc or hdd ,the ps1 cd stops spinning so it's possible to swap?
