Sigh guys using Swap magic and having the game won't work at all. I know this guys. The game is in NTSC it's true swap mgic allows you to boot back up games, but do any of you here actually understand how it works? Swap Magic has a quite simple design. The reason the program is made like that, is for one purpose. Skipping the legal protection, whenever a game is booted the first thing is checked is the legal protection. And thats checked the MINUTE you push the blue button on your ps2 and put the game in. If your game has no legal protection, or a backup, you can not play the game. That's why with swap magic when you "swap" the games, you don't reset the PS2 and by doing that you have fooled the Ps2. That's the true art of Swap Magic. HOWEVER you are pre-ording the ENGLISH NTSC VERSION THERE IS NO ENGLISH PAL VERSION. I don't care how good your tricks are with swap magic or chipping your ps2. It's a 2 way deal. You are all forgetting, the game won't run properly because of your TV SCREENS! YOUR TV's ARE PAL the game won't run properly it will be in black and white it won't work. I KNOW IT WON'T WORK I HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD. Unless you have an NTSC tv or a NTSC to PAL box. Your tv won't run the game no matter what you do with the ps2. The only way to get it to run, is to convert the game from NTSC to PAL. NO ENGLISH PAL VERSION CURRENTLY EXISTS! Sorry for the big posting I keep on saying this but people aren't getting the point. I get tons of replies but i can't answer them all as fast and confusion happens and I get replies like "you idiot just use Swap Magic." I use swap magic and more don't call me an idiot. your the idiot if you just use swap because it will be a waste of money
