Wondering how to boot PS1 backups on a PStwo

[sodaboy581]

Okay, right now I have a PStwo along with SwapMagic 3.3 CD and DVD.

I know SwapMagic 3.3 doesn't boot PS1 backups, but is there something I can burn to enable me to play PS1 backups on my PStwo?

Just for fun, I tried burning the Cogswap Loader, putting in an original PS1 CD game, then swapping it out for my backup, but that didn't work..

So, is there any image or anything I can download which would enable me to do this? Thanks!

Wow, I did a search on this forum and just found a really ghetto way of booting your PS1 backups...

I got my Star Ocean 2 backup to work by doing this:

- Booted PStwo with the fliptop open/ejected.
- Went to the browser.
- Put in my original Xenogears PS1 game.
- Closed PStwo fliptop normally, but left my stealth fliptop thingy open.
- PStwo detects PS1 game on the browser list, but disc is spinning slowly.
- Took the Xenogears disc out as it was spinning slowly, and put in the Star Ocean 2 backup.
- Closed fliptop completely, stealth and all.
- Selected the PS1 game icon on the browser.


Game boots up perfectly. /gg

Id use a ps1 swapdisc like Breaker Pro v1.1 or Gameshark v2 ps1 cheat disc to do the swap... its a bit safer.

Sadly u cant do the memorycard thing on a PsTwo, that would have been the easy way.

can u not load gameshark off a memory card like I've heard you can load swap magic?

No you can't

man, there must be a safer way to swap the discs. i think u can also load ps2 CD based games using a PS1 disc too. i tried loading a burned copy of USBAdvance by using the PS2 network setup disc(ps2 cd based) as a swap disc but it didnt work... so i must use a ps1 disc for swapping or the usbA disc was a bad burn? also if i use cheat discs like ARM or gameshark then theres a way to stop the disc from spinning?
