PS3 Swap Switch for PS2 Games

Posted by Alias420 on May 18, 2007

A forum post at afterdawn.com has a detailed step by step tutorial on how to create a swap switch to boot ps2 backup games.

I wanted a fairly easy way to play my PS2 backups on my PS3. I have read that you can do it by taking apart your PS3 and cutting a hole in the top and yadayada. Leaving the top off of my PS3 to play PS2 backups didn’t sound attractive to me. So i searched around and found a forum for PS2 talking about a tray switch for the fat PS2’s back in the day.

This is similar to the PS3 Swap Magic Hack hack found in our own forums

2 quick notes.

#1 swap magic is not needed at all unless you need to convert pal video to ntsc
#2 works with any firmware so far (untested 1.54)

This does not mak any sense!!
We just need an ISO Loader so we can play PS1, PS2, PS3 backup games.

Am I right PEOPLE!!!

thats right the big deal here is the ISO LOADER scene but not now because sony is loosing the battle of 3 gen maybe in 2008 ps3 will put the others consoles feel like a game boy near her because the most stupid thing i heard is the comparation betwen ps3 and wii in my opinion the only reason why wii sells more than ps3 its beacuse the babys love it… but the fact is the truth gamers im sure they prefer ps3 with any doubt…

lol, that was the most ignorant crap I have ever heard tapdisbong. a programmer that doesnt want to share his ideas with people. yes, it happens all the time. I’m sure paradox has created the time machine as well, but since everyone says they can’t exist because they would create a “time paradox” then paradox hasn’t shown it to us yet. You are an idiot…

Anyways… ISO loader or swapping crap… hows about we keep the search on this and stop being idiots… Can I get an amen here?!

It does work with ps3 backups BUT the backup has to be on disk (and the disks are about £10 each :-( )

Does anybody already burned PS3 backups on Discs? Dual Layer Disc? I Think that the Iso Loader will be ready by the end of the year.

Dont you people relize that a ISO loader is worthless, Sony will just put updates on all the new games so you cant play the game unless you update. So Paradox need to go on vacation like they have been since dec 2006…….
