I was looking into buying the swap magic 3.8 for my ps2 but I am not sure where to buy it from. Their are a lot of sites that sell it but they seem too grungy. Has anyone bought one and if so where.

Also consider HDLOADER + exploit, it saves on laser wear on the PS2 and make loading games a lot less hassle.

I prefer HDAdvance. HDDs are practically free now and it's nice to boot your PS2 and see that large list of games to choose from... if you own a large list of games, that is. :)

I'm also curious about this, I haven't had a problem with 3.6, does 3.8 do any extra cool stuff?

I think 3.8 allows for action replay codes. I may be wrong though.

I remember playing back up games with Game genie for PS1 long ago. I tried swap magic but could never get it to work, had to disassemble the front part of the tray and its too much of a hassle.. XBOX hack was marvelous.. A media center of its own, tons of games on a 500 gig hard drive, emulators, xvid shows, stream stuff to it.. Wonderful.. XBOX360 now lets you load games on to the hard drive and I love playing in High Def.

Indeed everything is changing much faster than one would think is it not? Btw this thread is still alive ill be damned.

Swap magic 3.8 just lets you use cheat codes I believe. Save your money and go with swap magic 3.6.

Can I give links to sites that sell it? Try estarland, this is where I got my copy.

Or, to skip the hassle all together, look into Free McBoot 1.8.

Here is a tutorial on how to install the newest version.
