PS2 PS2 Swap Method Game List (2019)

For now I've checked retail swap magic and swap magic.elf.
In both cases I can launch uLE v4.38 boot from DVD after swapping.
Also in both causes I can't launch wLe 41e4ebe from DVD after swapping.

I guess you're using the swap magic DVD as high toc disc when using swap magic elf. Try using a game with similar size if you have one.
 
SLES_531.24 right??

What about cogswap??

I'll look if i have a similar size game. However it could depens on Ps2 model, I'm swapping with a Fat one (39004)

No, it is SLES_528.59:

Does these tests are needed?
I don't like to do the same tests over and over again.
Results should be the same as I posted it before:

Size of this game is quite small (~1.8 GB).
Bootable u\wLe takes ~1 GB. so almost every game will be enough for swap.
I've tried that in the past with SCPH-77004, now with SCPH-70004.

Can you post step by step what you're doing to swap discs?

Actually no, as I said it's not that important for me to make it to work. I'm curious though to know if LBA structure of swapping game matters for this Ule to start. But there's no need for you to test cogswap. You make it to work with SM, so I too should succeed somehow. If I can't with the 39004 I'll pull out from the closet the 75004 (my 77004 optical assembly is dead and gone since a long time).

- I simply start the Ps2 pressing R1, Ule starts, I go to mass and start Swap Magic 3.8 Elf.
- Then I open the lid pressing the open lid button (SM tell me to insert the high toc disc) and insert a original Ps2 DVD.
- SM read it and tell me to swap. So I open the lid with my phone card and swap to ULE DVD
- I press X and select one of the options (tried both normal and special with same result)
- Ps2 try to boot the disc (I can hear it correctly spinning) but kick me back to OSDSYS (it suddenly starts OPL for me, 'cause it's as autolaunch).

I think that the problem may start here, because I cannot launch Swap Magic 3.8.ELF without DVD disc.
I mean when I'll launch this program without any disc I'll get BSOD.
When I insert any org PS2 game Swap Magic 3.8.ELF will launch.
md5sum for my Swap Magic 3.8.ELF is "1e7876f5d26b697c80231f5ec3957fd9".
size: 711 376 bytes.

Here are my steps:
Insert any PS2 game.
Turn on PS2, hold R1 to launch wLe.
DVD disc will spin for few seconds and it'll stop.
Navigate through files to launch Swap Magic 3.8.ELF.
DVD disc will spin for few seconds and it'll stop.
Now I'm swapping disc with u\wLe.
Select Normal -> Default.
Only uLE v4.38 from DVD seems to work in my config.

I don't remeber if I tried that way too with Ule, I'll check it. As for starting games I used both ways (inseting the disc before and after the program starts) and they always started flawlessly.

Maybe the problem is the SM revision. Even if it's 3.8 it is a different one. MD5: 0938fff18443b4fb008f13ea8d04f928

I'm sure it's a good one since for games it works. Maybe even the fact that your can't start without a disc is due to the different revision.

Also it can be that your version is actually the disc version elf and my is a patched one appositely made for working as a elf.

Original version (SCES_500.03) from a disc takes 4 616 260 bytes.
Compressed cracked version takes 711 376 bytes.
 
When you swap, swap back and forth again...
Look up some tutorials like @Haldrie's 'new Exploit' video...!
 
i thought SOCOM 2 was a nice candidate for swap because if you go the to options and try to enable HDD, the disc will stop spinning and then theoretically you could swap discs without risk of damaging something.

Just look and listen to the lens.

When the lens moves to the disc center there must be the og disc inside, viceversa when moving outside you have to put in the other disc.
Every time you swap, remove the disc as soon as the lens starts moving, simultaneously (otherwise it will read the data from the wrong disc), take all the time you want for replacing with the other one (never rush swapping to the og disc for avoiding to scratch the boot data and ruin the disc).

i.e. when swapping the ID (this applies to all games), the lens will firstly read the boot data, then it will move to the ID (at the Ps2 logo fading) so here you have to swap. After about a second the lens will move again to the center, swap back to the og disc again, your application will start (or not, depending on the application… cogswap always starts).

I don't have SOCOM 2, however the procedure is the same, look/listen to the lens and you're done.

wait, can you tell me how to boot ulaunch elf using nfs underground, idk how...
 
There is one demo confirmed from long time working with this method.

It is the Demo Disc 066 (NTSC-U) (SCUS-97241).

The file to replace is "ROCKY.ELF", it is inside the "Rocky" directory.
- Load the demo disc, go to "Playground".
- It will load a video, skip it pressing X, and select "Rocky".
- A diagram will appear with the controls, SWAP here and press X, the file ROCKY.ELF will be executed.

Best regards.
 
I have a problem with NFS Underground, when i go in the network settings not inside ntgui.elf, i swap the discs and then it just gives me a red screen of death
