Swap Magic running Genesis emulator on PS3

by Nick Doerr { Jul 3rd 2008 at 10:00PM }

Have you got Swap Magic back from the good ol' PS2 days? Have you got downloaded emulators? Well, thanks to this YouTube video, now you can see how to get an emulator up and running. Of course, it's a German video, so we have next to no idea what's going on -- but we notice there's some quick option-swapping whilst Swap Magic is loading up. This is far from the only video on YouTube displaying emulators on the PS3, but it's interesting to see just how simple the process appears. Anyone had any luck with this?

Yeah, I had a lot of luck. I installed linux. Safe, doesn't void your warranty, and best of all, gets completely forgotten every time someone writes a story about hacking or running emulators on the PS3. Oh, wait.

P.S. Dosbox works the best, since you don't have to set up the controller.

p/s: it's a dutch video

Man I would love a swap magic hack.

I have Japanese PS2 games I would love to upscale on my US 60GB.

Well it's not all that impressive.

The emulator was probably an emulator designed for the PS2 and the SwapMagic just loads it.

Since the disc has the bad sectors and all it is a legit PS2 disc so the PS3 will load it.

It's not german, but dutch. I'm a german living in Holland so it's ok ^^

He's just using the emulator as a program, nice! Hope this will work for a SNES or N64 emulator, too. would be awesome!

This is definitely a Dutch video (a .nl url appears in the right hand corner).

Germans use those silly characters like a ß and such. Also they love capitalization in a random way :)

And no, I'm not Dutch! I'm Flemish...

ß is cool ;)

Awesome. Time to ruin PS3 lasers now.

definately dutch: "volledig scherm" is an option, which means, full-screen.

Ah, glad to read in the comments that it’s Dutch; I was worried already that I had to try to understand German ;p.

Yes, this movie IS 800% dutch... because I'm dutch too.. :P

I think the movie is captured on a PS3 running the Debug Firmware, 'cause the "TV-mode" is visable from within XMB.

Sorry for those who are downloading the SMv3.6/v3.8, because this definately not work and tested by myself! U need to buy an original of SwapMagic.

Zo en nu in het Nederlands...

Ja dit filmpje is voor 800% Nederlands, omdat ik ook een Nederlandse PS3 heb :D... lol, maar geen Debug Firmware

De "download-able" SwapMagic versies gaan helaas niet werken omdat je een originele SwapMagic CD (of DVD) nodig heb.

CU Later....
