ps1 back ups on ps2

ok im new to this and some help would be appreciated i got swap magic v3.6 to play burnt ps2 games and i need help with ps1 now theres all the loaders such as keyloader launchELF and things like that i need some one to tell whats easy to use and provide a guide if they could.

PlayStation specs.

my ps2 is a ntsc SCPH-79001 ss/97703

im not sure the version i think 16 its the new silver models.

iv also heard of psxlauncher what ever that is but i heard it works on ps2 v16.
i just got my ps2 so i would not prefer to take it apart.

my current method of playing burnt games is put in a original and let it load in the browser and while its spinning remove the original and put on my backup. i dont like do this because i have to stop the spinning thing to remove and replace meaning i could mess up the motor in the long run which i why im look for another method plus i cant start disk 2 of mgs because theres is no save in between disks like ff7.

some help would be nice ty

doesnt swap magic come with 2 discs?
one to play ps2 backups the other to play psx backups games

(your in wrong furom)

no swapmagic is for ps2 back ups only and to go along with my first message is there any method that will let me play psx games such as mgs where you have to swap disks without saving. like ff7 u save then swap disk mgs makes u swap in game so is there a method where i can play games like that :chinscrat

I've said this many many many many many times in various forums including this one. if you want a "swap disc" for ps1, you migh want to invest in gameshark (disc version) for ps1. this will stop the motor so that you can use it like swapmagic. This has to be done for the meanwhile since a possible new method of playing ps1 games on a ps2 is in the works.

swapmagic will not do ps1 games since it is a ps2 format program.

any specific game shark i can use and will it work on the ps2 slim model and im not exactly wanting a swap disk just somthing that will boot ps1 games such as keyloader and things like that anything will work for me im just using a swap magic for ps2 games

CDX (3.0 I think) and newer. but it has to be a disc based gameshark meant for ps1.

Action Replay for ps1, as well as codebreaker for ps1 will do the same.

ok but is there any other way than gameshark and how do i know what version it is because i found this http://www.amazon.com/InterAct-1104C...5916364&sr=8-1 its a cdx but i dont know the version also how do i play a game that has multiple disks such as mgs and does the game shark get to the screen too select codes then stops spinning how does it work since its not a swap disk realy

that'll work.

Also you'll have to load the gameshark for each backup that you want to run. including multi disc games.

for example:

multidisc such as ff7

load gameshark
swap out for backup
play disc
time to change to disc 2
reset (hopefully you saved your game before)
load gameshark
swap out for backup (disc 2)
play game
time to change to disc 3
save
reset
load gameshark
swap out for disc 3 backup
play

what about games such as mgs where u dont save before each disk how would that work? could i not play thoes types of games? also what about cogswap or keylauncher would thoes work and how do they :cry: im so confused

pop in the original, get to a save point and then swap out using the gameshark method.

If you don't have the original, then you are pretty much S.O.L.
