Swap Magic: DVD Disc & Slimline PS2 Question

Post by okonomiyaki »

I'm using the latest version of Swap magic (3.6) on a PS2 Slim model (also latest version, 9001). Swap Magic works fine for the most part.

My question is - The Swap Magic DVD disc just does not want to easily sit on the disc holder of the PS2 (the little circle that 'clicks' into the hole in the center of your CD or DVD and then spins the disc for the laser to read it). Any other discs will fit on the disc holder perfectly - DVD movies, burned movies, burned games, CD games, retail games & the CD Swap Magic disc too, all click into place perfectly.

But the DVD disc specifically for both Swap Magic 3.6 as well as Swap Magic 2.0 (as I have the old version too) - both of them just don't want to sit on the disc holder in the ps2 and I need to sit there and pull the disc on and off of it for about 5-10 mins every time that I want to play a game before the disc will click into place correctly.

Has anyone else experienced this? It's pretty annoying.

Thanks!

Both mine and a friends do this, I figured they just have cheap manufacturing. If I press down around the center of the disc it clicks on and works just fine.

Mine had an issue where only 2 of the 3 locking mechanisms on the center piece would hold the disc, unless I went back and pushed on accurately on the unheld side. Other discs went in fine.
