Naw, I dont think we have to gut our PS3's for swap magic to work Yes you do, lol. Otherwise QUOTEONLY WORK with the first generation PS3 with Emotion Engine built-in: How to play PS2 ISO's on PS3 via USBAdvance (aka USBLD) What you need:. Swap Magic 3.6+/3.8 (Purchase here or here). Launch PS3 (20/60gb) - NTSC/Japanese (Must have emotion engine, only launch PS3's had this) Note there have been reports that this method works on NTSC BC consoles.

Boot up SWAPMAGIC and once loaded into the menu screen, press UP (on D-Pad)+L2 on your PS3 controller to browse through your flash drive. If you are unable to view your flash drive, then it is not compatible (use another one). Copy the BADATA-SYSTEM folder and USBLD01.ELF file to your Virtual Memory Card (on PS3). Go inside BADATA-SYSTEM folder and cut/move the Pictures and SWAPMAGIC folder to ROOT the Virtual Memory Card. Remove your FLASH DRIVE, press the button and quit the game and go back to XMB and launch swap magic.

From the files you have, hopefully the DVD files not CD files. 1) install CDDVD-rom Gen, Dummy File Creator, and iml2dvd 2) Create a Dummy file. I'm not sure of the size you need I don't know the size of the files you have. Just make it as big as possible, maybe around 1 gig if there's room.
Just keep total file size under the size of your SM 2.0 disk and it should due. 3) Run cd dvd-gen and select create new project then select DVD-ROM Master Disk 4) drag all SM 3.8 files and folders + dummy file into CDDVD-Gen. 5) Click Volume tab and insert SCES 50003 in the disk name field, put PLAYSTATION in producer and copywriter fields. 6) Click file at the top select Export iml file. 7) Choose destination and wait for file creation, then close CDDVD Generator 8) Now open iml2dvd and choose your newly created iml file.
9) sit back and wait for your iso to be created then burn with Alcohol 120% or Nero.
