Homebrew Apps with SwapMagic?

[BuddyLee]

Is this possible? I did the slim tool/swap magic 3.3 mod thing cause all i really wanted to do with my ps2 is play backup games, i never saw a benefit from installing a modchip since it won't come near the performance or development power that my xbox has.

Anyways, I was just kinda gettin bored with my ps2 and i wanted to play around with it, so by burning apps on a CD/DVD will swap magic let me load these apps? Also, is there anyway to boot stuff up from a usb drive or memory card with swap magic and without having to buy that evo max thing?

Basically I want to know what I can do without installing a modchip on my v12(i wanted that HDConnect from XCM but u need a DMS4 Pro modchip)

This link should answer your question on how to boot homebrew/emulator and so on:

The latest version of Ps2 Reality Player supports USB mass devices like usb-hds/sticks (not the one at this link tho) so its getting very close to XBMC on the xbox

Most homebrew software needs to be run from cd-r of mc (very little can be run from usb devices yet), so no need to get a AR evo yet. Once u get the software going tho, u can play back mp3/avi/xvid/ogg from usb devices

On a similar note, if I have a fliptop + SM, should I bother installing the memory card exploit?

If I recall, the latest PGen/SNES-Station have been fixed to run from Swap Magic right? Or do they still need CDLoader? If so, I'd install the exploit. The unofficial LaunchELF will run homebrew PGen/SNESS, but not the official, right?
