MagicKeys 2 for all v12/v13 (Satin Silver, Ceramic White, new black one and old black one) PS TWO consoles are released !īut then in the panel it goes on to show installation for Satin Silver and Ceramic White PS TWO.Description PS2 – Swap Magic – 2-Disc Set – NTSC – CD & DVD. I then saw a couple of places sold 'Magic Keys 2' in the UK, although information is mixed on the V12 compatibility. But they do confirm I can close the lid of my PS2 when I use them (which is why I am interested in them over the 'Magic Tools' advertised on SwapMagics website). I have seen very few retailers selling 'Magic Keys' in the UK, only one infact, whose website recommends you buy two sets from them as they are quite brittle. OK, I've read through a few Magic Keys threads around the interweb, and I get that there are two versions - 'Magic Keys' and 'Magic Keys 2'.įYI - I have a Black Slimline PS2 (V12 / SCPH-70003) and live in the UK. While I could see the usefulness of the slimtool with the v12 if you were determined to preserve your warranty, I can't fathom the point with the v13 if you'll have to violate the warranty anyway, when the tape mod is much simpler and, well, much less expensive to install. In short, I have some severe doubts about the utility of fliptops/magic keys with the v13. but do most people really have the tools to do so? Can you get Tool C out once you've put it in? And even if you manage to do so, isn't tampering with the metal cover rather obvious if you ship the console to Sony for inspection? And, according to the second link, you can bend back the metal cover and forcibly insert Tool C. If so, what's the point? If I wanted to mod my console for Swap usage by opening it up, I would just use the easier (and free!) tape/tissue mod. Now, from the first thread, I've noticed that a lot of people are being forced to open their consoles anyway. The problem with the v13, of course, is the new metal cover which prevents access to the upper sensor beneath the hinge. The primary usage of the slimtool, I believe, is to circumvent warranty violation by allowing for depression of the two sensor tabs without needing to open the console. To me, it doesn't seem like the the Magic Key/Slimtool is much of any good for the v13.
