    hello, I have swap magic 3.6 plus and I am trying to boot a homebrew disc on my ps2, how do I do this? And to note, I am NOT doing anything Illegal (Im actually doing it to copy a file from my ps2, since downloading it is illegal, so im going out of my way to follow the rules...anyway)
    Thank you.

    Moving this to tech support. :]

    And I have little knowledge of homebrews and swap magic, but my guess is just burn the homebrew to a DVD and put it in your PS2.

    Misty is partially right. You have to burn it to a CD-R or DVD-R. Then boot it with your Swap Magic like a normal import or backup. I'd suggest you use a CD-R, since homebrew usually won't be more than a CD's capacity.

    PS2 discs have bigger size than CDs KS.

    Yes, but I usually use CD-Rs for homebrew, since 9/10 times, homebrew is significantly smaller than a professional game.
