Heh, after much browsing, I was going to go with a flip-top 'till I saw the tape and tissue method:

Have a v12 black (first-day slim model), and couldn't care less about the warranty. It's been almost 2 years, I'm sure it's not covered anymore. Basically, that leaves me with the need for Swap Magic and better media, afaik. Any thoughts?

There's also some "ghost cases" - replacemant cases for slimline ps2's with the clips already installed. Seen them new for $20, and on e-bay for less. I suppose if the tape and tissue method dosen't work, I can always try this out.

Lastly - I've read here and there about v12's having laser problems. Anyone know any specifics? Haven't had problems with mine, not sure if the difficulties occur after modding or what.

yea i have swapmagic 3.3 and a fliptop. the fliptop didn't install right, so i just play with the case off

u can get swapmagic and a free swaptool from foundmy.com

the shipping is a little steep, but i've ordered 2 things from them so far, they're reputable.

and as far as getting the game, i use torrentleech.org for 0day ps2 (and other scene releases), lmk if you want an invite.

I almost fell out of my chair at the low price. Then I realized that it's for v3.3, not 3.6 :( I think I'll likely order SM3.6 soon. Why buy FFXII, when I can get many more games for the same price. ;) I think the tissue and tape method will be how I roll, too. It just screams "GHETTO-FAB!".

As far as an invite goes, I sent you a PM.

there's really no difference between the 3.3 and 3.6

Hmmm, I'm assuming 3.6 has more titles enabled, or does it simply including the "coder" addon? I haven't found any solid evidence...

Regardless, I've found 3.6 for $30.13 after shipping, which isn't that bad. Not sure what shipping would be for the link you provided, but assuming it's ~$10 then I'm only paying an extra $5, though I wouldn't get the "tool" shown as coming with v3.3. But, as I stated before, I'm just going to open 'er up and tape the shit down.

Now....the waiting game. November's a 3-paycheck month for me, which is the good news, but I'd really like to get a car on the road before dropping cash on entertainment. Though I suppose I could just skip buying my next sack and order this shit....hmmm....

hehe

yea if you're just going to tape it down, might as well not get the slide tool

bump.

Anyone else playing?

i stopped at 15 hours, unfortunately :P

i got a friend who is 95 hours into it, and another who is 45.

i'm still excited for the prequel "revenant wings" that will come out for DS soon
