Just asking. I was wondering if there was a place where I could get a flip top with a boot disc for a cheap price and cheap shipping.

*nod* That would be its purpose. I want to find one as well. I plan on getting SVC Chaos for PS2 when it comes out.

If you're in or around the area of Toronto, Ontario (Canada), try a mall called Pacific Mall. I know they're the best place for anything "illegal".

To play import/backup PS2 games you need the swap disc that comes with some of the flip tops. Like this place
But to play import/backup PS1 games you need a gameskark2/Action Reaply2. Which I haven't seen to come with any of the models.
The link I gave seems like a food deal($35 for top and swap disc) but I was hoping for maybe a little cheaper. I am in no rush, maybe I will mod as early as Januray.
Has anyone here shopped or know someone who shopped at the link I posted?

so, just to be sure, you don't need a mod chip for this flip top thinkie magic swap thing to work, if you wanna play import/backups? I don't wanna waster my money if it doesn't do what it's supposed to do
EDIT~nevermind, I found some info about it. It doesn't seem very reliable, though

If you are looking for more details I found this very good FAQ Link Here that is very straight forward.

Be careful, I have heard a few games (Possibly dual layer ones?) do not boot with this technique.

Not that illegal. A prefect example of "illegal" activities that go on there would be their music store. They get their hands on 1 copy of the CD then they burn copies off of that one CD, make the labels, jewel case it, plastic wrap it, and then sell it for about 1/4 of the price that you would pay for the original. I put "illegal" because police go in there an make purchases, so I don't know how illegal it exactly is anymore.

EDIT: Don't believe their website when it says "Coming soon." It's been like that for almost 5 years.
