THIS NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED AND REWRITTEN, WIP
- 3Booting into COGSWAP
It seems like the only way to boot latest slim PS2 with third-party software (such as game loader) is original Swap Magic DVD (not one you'd burned yourself from ISO image). Swap Magic allows you to run arbitrary executable from USB stick, memory card or hot swapped DVD. Best cleaners for mac. The most advanced game loader is Open PS2 Loader (OPL, forum). Install the ISO to the PS2's HDD Open Winhiip and install the iso as you would a ps2 game with your ps2's hdd connected to the PC. Menu name will appear in the game list boot file is SCES666.66 by default (dont change this! https://worldsasder.weebly.com/truembroidery-software-for-mac-free.html. COGSWAP SwapMagicv3.8 Now you just select a title and press X to load it.

Prepare the PS2 for hot swapping
It is LAUNCHELF. CDLOADER – This is used to boot copied CD’s with a fliptop. COGSWAP – Similar to CDLOADER. FAPLINKFTP – This is the client that MUST be running on the PS2 when using, FAPLINK on your PC to transfer ISO’s to the PS2. GENESISEMU – Pretty clear what that is. SEGA MASTER SYSTEM – Play your SMS on your PS2. Once you have installed the application, I suggest restarting your computer. Click on Image Burning Wizard, which is located on the left side of Alcohol. Choose your ISO, and press next. At the bottom of the next window is a dropdown menu. Choose Playstation 2, and then change the Disc speed to lowest.

Booting into COGSWAP
Requirements
- An original PS2 DVD game (any should do but YMMV)
- a blank DVD
- GNU ddrescue -- to make ISO copy from original PS2 DVD game (unlike cat or dd, ddrescue will retry in case of read errors)
- COGSWAP -- an ELF binary that permits the arbitrary boot of any CDR/DVDR
- Apache 1.1 -- to modify the original ISO copy
Instructions
- make a copy of an original DVD PS2 game
- Figure out which file is booted by the PS2 on this ISO (it's not always the same file):
- Rename the cogswap.elf file to the filename you found
- Note the size of the file (important in case you use a different version of COGSWAP)
- Start Apache
- In 'File', open donor.iso
- click and select the relevant SLES file
- In 'ISO Tools' go to 'Change TOC for selected file, then in 'Size (dec)', put 58160 (adjust if needed), press 'Update'
- click and select the relevant SLES file
- In 'ISO Tools' go to 'Update Selected File' and choose the prepared COGSWAP version of the SLES file, update.
- Burn the modified donor.iso to a blank DVDR
Done you now have a PS2 DVD that contains COGSWAP.
- Burn Ulaunch
- Copy newbie package to USB key
