Swap Magic refuses to boot up games from these DVD formats anyway so it didn’t really matter on the bulky PS2. So getting DVD+R DL to playback was always going to be a no-no.

The damn thing died on me and I had to buy a slim one instead but that’s another story for another day.Īnyway, the bulky PS2 that I had wouldn’t read DVD-RW or DVD+RW at all. I used to have a bulky PS2, it wss a v4 I think. Is the Swap Magic 3.8 disk worth getting or is FreeMcBoot the best way (For a PS2 Slim) Hi people, I searched around this subreddit and couldnt find much information regarding the Swap Magic 3.8 disk. And it does read DVD-RW and DVD+RW (albeit in Video mode only). The slim one does have a newer lens in there after all. I always thought that the bulky PS2 was picky about blank media? If anything, I would’ve thought it would be the other way around. No, I’ve never heard about the slim PS2 being picky about media. We have an older gen ps2, that will play anything we put in it. I thought I remember reading somewhere that the slim ps2 was more picky about reading backup discs - do you know anything about that?
