PSX backup with hdloader or swap magic, possible?

**rumleprasen** · 09-22-2009,02:15 PM

Is it in anyway possible to get psx backups to play on my ps2?

I have Swap magic 3.8 coder and I Have FMCB installed on my memorycard...

Any help will be greatly appreciated

It depends on your PS2-Version and even then it is only possible with the swap-trick.

If you have an SCPH-50k and up, it works with Homebrew.
If you have an older version, you need BreakerPRO or similar.

ok...

I will check the version of my ps2 in a moment, I am installing a game on my hdd right now and I have to remove the network adaptor to see the version, right?

What is breakerpro or similar and where do i get this?

Edit: My serial: FC3834568 and and SCPH 39004...so this means i need the breakerpro thingy?

Breaker PRO v1.1, does that work, so that I can play psx backups on my ps2?

Is there really no other way...?

Nope, you don´t have to.
Start your PS2 and press Triangle on the main-menu-screen.

It is a PS1-Disc/Cheatdevice, which you can use as a swap-disc.

Edit: Well,... There is a PSX-Emulator under development

Keep in mind,... The BreakerPRO-Disc doesn´t stop spinning!

ok, the psx emulator is that for the ps2 or for the pc?

But for now, the only way for me to do this, is to bye this breakerPRO thing?

For PS2. If it would be one for PC, I would not have mentioned it.

Yes, or a similar PS1-(Cheat-)Disc.

ok, sad...

But okay, do you have any idea on how far the development of the emulator is?

what if I have a backup of a codebreaker disc?

The PS2 will still not read it. It will treat it like a backup game. A backup is a backup is a backup after all.

You need an original for this to work.

Ok, since you have Swap Magic, I'm assuming you have a slide card as well. Put in any original PSone game and boot up uLaunchElf with disc control set to "ON". Once uLE is loaded and the disc has stopped spinning, use your slide card to remove the original PSone game and insert your backup. Then launch the game via the "PS2Disc" option under the MISC folder. That should start up your game.
