How to Run PS2 DVD Games With Swap Magic

Play backup games with your PS2 console.

The Playstation 2 is a gaming console that plays NTSC or PAL formatted games from a DVD drive. If you use a PS2 that was bought in North America, you are using an NTSC formatted PS2. If you bought your PS2 anywhere else, your console uses the PAL format. The Swap Magic DVD is used to play backup copies of games and imported games that are not in the format of your PS2. This makes PAL DVDs able to be read by a PS2 bought in the U.S. and vice versa.
