Q.
What is the Slide-Tool?
A. The Slide-Tool / Slide-Card is a
new product - Slide-Tool works in conjunction with the Swap Magic disks
& allow you to play backups & import games on your PS2 console,
Slide-Tool does this without you having to open up your console & therefore
invalidate any warranty you may have left. Q.
How does Slide-Tool perform on 80mins CD-R?
A. Some of the other backup solutions
on the market has trouble with games bigger than 650mb (80min games).
Some of them has no chance playing a 80min cd-r game, but the Slide-Tool
solution actually performs pretty good. We have experienced around 2-3
games of a selection of 30 games that did not work. This is a good success
rate.
Q.
How does Slide-Tool perform on DVD-R?
A.
The success rate for DVD-R Backups is extremely good. We haven't heard
of of a single game that has not worked yet. So far it has a 100% success
on DVD-R media. This includes totally new games like Splinter Cell.
Q.
How does Slide-Tool perform on original DVD imports?
A. The success rate for original DVD
import games, is about the same as with DVD-R backups. New games in the
Dual Layer DVD-9 format might not work because of the extremely big TOC
(table of content) size around 7-9 GB. Swap Magic Boot Discs only have
a TOC size of around 4.35GB. But a backup of a Dual Layer game applied
with a patch might work.
Q. My
games are in black/white - the screen flickers/scrolls?
A. The Slide-Tool product opens up the
possibility to play games from other regions of the world (import games).
Same television signal are not used all over the world, therefore some users
might experience the games being played in black & white, or maybe on
old television sets the screen even scrolls and flickers. This is because
the signal is different than the one your TV set is supposed output. But
do not worry, it's simply because the cable that was sold with your PS2
console is not up to the job. You need a RGB Scart Cable, S-Video Cable
or Component cable. You will not only get a picture in color, but also a
much sharper picture. |
