Do "Homemade" ps2 boot disks work?

Question

i plan on making copied ps2 games because mine are getting scratched and i wouldn't want to replace them. I have learned the procedure to burn/copy a ps2 disc onto a DVD-R but to actually RUN the game you need a boot disk like swap magic. My PS2 is a slim version so i will just do a tape and tissue method to avoid buying a flip top.

My real question: I have seen on some sites that state you can make your own boot disk rather than buying swap magic. I get that the process would be very simple, but would a homemade boot disk work like swap magic? If it does, would it work exactly the same way?

Answer 1

Home made disks wont work but if you get a disk called magic swap it wil work

Answer 2

Apparently they only work for the 'phatboy'

In your, case with the slim probably wont work.

Answer 3

yes they will work.i do this by using copy disk option in nero or you can simply make image of it when you buy a new game.by doing this you can burn its copy any time you require.
