Swap magic, mod chip, I think pro action replay.

If you have a slim PS2, the swap magic discs + the little pieces of plastic were ridiculously easy to install (and to use). If you don't wanna swap, you have to mod it.

And wiki is correct; it is 2.21.

Where's the best site to order the Swap Magic and Magic Keys? Also, it seems like some of the sites I found only have PAL versions. Is a US compatible Swap Magic hard to come by?

I too want to play Nights. :D

I know Foundmy.com has US versions of Swap Magic.

http://www.foundmy.com/oscom/product_in ... cts_id=105

That's a bundle with the discs and slide tool. The magic keys are another $9.

There are probably other sites, but I know Foundmy is a good site to order from (I got my Qoob Pro from there a couple of years ago)

Thanks for the link. I guess I might not have to get the Magic Keys seeing as I have the first slim model to come out.

You have a fat or slim PS2?

With my fat PS2, I purchased the network adapter and then 80GB Seagate IDE drive. I then got the Hard Drive Advance 3.0 Software for like $15 or so I think. This allows you to rip PS2 games and play them from the hard disk. This is how I play my imports, havn't had any problems with it yet.
