Thread: better backup method than swap magic?

I don't know why but my swap magic disks never seem to hold up. I've already had to buy 2 and I really would rather not have to buy another one. I was hoping there's just a "put your disk in and play" method without having to do anything else, I know I can do that with a mod chip but I don't know anything about them. What's an easier method for running backups nowadays? And is there a way to play psx backups on ps2 as well? I'm running a phat ps2

Try free McBoot... there are several methods once you install it. You already have swap magic so the only other thing you need is a memory card

i'll look into it. will i need to use swap magic every time i boot a game with mcboot? cuz that's what i'm trying to avoid.

nope just need swap magic to load free mcboot onto your memory card have the links at the top of my ps2 download page
