Magic Switch
Decided to order a set of Swap Magic discs for my PS2. Now that Jon and I don’t live in close proximity to each other, I need some other way to play the PS2 Naruto games.
I’ve chosen Swap Magic for my mod solution mainly because it involves no soldering and doesn’t void the warranty, provided I can properly install the magic key that lets the PS2 still run with the disc flap open. I’m hoping it goes over well. If it does, then I’ll never have to buy PS2 games again. Provided, of course, that I get a DVD burner so I can burn the games… But that’s a bridge I’ll cross later. Swap Magic allows for booting from a USB source as well, which I think is really awesome.
The process for modding these things always seems so sketchy to me. First, there’s the part where you order the tools from the sketchy looking website with the bad graphics, bad copy editing, and obviously filched product pictures. Then there’s the part where you have to insert small pieces of plastic into strategic locations inside the disc bay to stop certain mechanisms from moving.
Oh well. I might just consider finding someone whom I can ask to do a modchip install for me seeing as my warranty’s already expired.
Banshee is acting up again. Something with DBus and the gnome-settings-manager. I hate that because it means the media keys, those same ones that I’m striving so hard to get to work, don’t work with Banshee. And the error seems sort of erratic.
