a few question of OPL 0.7 in 80GB PS3 (BC model)

[Dracari]

now i Dont load OPL like its recommended to (SwapMagic 3.6/3.8 Coder and Alternate ELF method..)

i made my own Homebrew disc (yanked an system.cnf from Codebreaker 7 edited it to point to boot.elf)that contains a few roms for SNES Station 0.24 + a patched Codebreaker 9.3 to Remove Disc checks (but still nee dto swap discs cause of the PS3's on checks) SMS (latest vers from sksapps) + a few relaxation albums in MP3 format to play at night ( i know redundant but i made the ISO and burnt to disc to use on our Slim PS2 when my roomate is using the PS3 in his computer corner (he tri-monitors w/ 3 21inch LCD Monitors w/ HDMI Input [ the lil bugger makes 3.2K a month... ]) As well for PS3 use (so 98% of the Elf's i left on it are useless to the PS3or redundant)

anyway because our PS3 's Blu-ray drive failed(no longer ejects) and no warranty we do the disc swap method [ let the system read a HIGH ToC PS2 game, wait for the System to idle [stop spinning the disc] then swap it w/ my disc. and its where OPL is loaded (well from uLE 4.41) this method i dont have uLE USB access and will not read Discs beyond itself ..

But.. here are my questions
1: how adversely affected are SMB/USB games affected because of this method/because its an BC 80GB[American PS3] (as in how far is teh compatible games cut down.)

2: (waits for the flaming tomatoes to be thrown @ me) How can i apply Cheats?

No tomatoes from me, but would it not be much, much easier to do that on a real PS2 ?

but if you're doing it for the challenge, go for it !
