playing PSONE games using MC exploit

So I just followed this guide step by step...

http://www.mikestyle.com/tutorials/exploit.htm

What I need to clarify is that am I able to run back up PS2/PS1 games but in DVD/CD format through this method, or does this MC exploit method only allow the option to run homebrew software and HDD access?

The MC Exploit is a means to run Homebrew only. But there are homebrew apps you can use to boot PS2 backups via the swap trick.

PS1 backups require a PS1 cheat disc or a V9 console with the exploit.

Lame. I guess this means I should modchip the PS2 anyways to take full advantage.

Thanks!

That in itself isn't true, i've heard of an elf that will do what Cogswap and Swap Magic do for PS1 games

There is..certain versions of Ulaunch do it, but you can only do it on a certain PS2 version, due to a glitch in the firmware (I think it was V9). I used to own one such machine before it finally gave up the ghost.

Are you referring to PSX Loader ? I've never used it, but a tutorial is located here on the afterdawn forums.

The thing is that I want to be able to boot CDs without doing the swap trick. just regularly ejecting the tray and putting in the cds.

I guess unless I chip the PS2, there's no way to do this, eh?
