Thread: Calling All BC Swap Magic Users

Well it seems S0ny have spoilt our fun once again with the latest update which now stops any PS1\PS2 backups running.

I have a legit 60gb which I was using Swap Magic to load PS2 backups via USB Loader but since I updated to the latest firmware last night they no longer work.

If you could give it a try and see if it is the same for you.

You mean 4.10? I will check in the morning when im back home. Is it the same for originals?

Yeah 4.10. Originals should still work fine it's just backups of any kind.

Ok, my son didnt update yet. I will try it first on the 4.00 machine (since I havent actually used Swapmagic for almost a year now) to see if it still run, upgrade, and let you know if its the same here. Ill try to stay sober in this quality airport hotel in the mean time

Well Swap Magic still boots and so does the USB loader but the games just go to a black screen. I'm currently ripping some discs to see if any work at all but it aint looking good.

The more I think about this the more it's p!ssing me off.
The main reason I used this method was to boot rare games that I can't get hold of anywhere like Japanese exclusives etc.
And S0ny weren't losing any money from this because even if we bought all of our PS2 games they would be preowned so they wouldn't see any cash from it anyway.

It kinda makes me think they did it just to be spiteful little sh!ts and to prove that they can.

That's why my BC PS3 is my CFW PS3, and a slim is my OFW PS3.

I want my 60gb to last as long as possible so that's why I updated it and use my other for homebrew.
Not such an issue but some people are gunna be really peeved when they find out.

That really does suck.. I can't join in on your rage though because neither of my PS3's are BC anyways. :(
