    Hope you dont mind me saying this, but i will anyway. whats the point of having swap magic, and opening ur ipod, voiding the warranty, and risking breaking it when u can just burn ps2 games on top quality media disks for about £0.03p/$0.01c each when brough on a spindle. thats what swap magic is for anyway.

    make sure that its in disk mode You do this by holding Center and menu until the apple shows up then click center and play and it should turn black and white

    I tried it in both disk mode and normal. It boots USB Advance from the ipod in disk mode, but doesn't recognize the ipod as an HDD, it just says USB hard drive required. Its a 40gb 4th gen, not photo, if that helps at all. I fromated to NTFS by right clicking on it, then formated it to FAT32 using the USB extreme tools. Made the swapmagic folder, which clearly works, since USB advance boots, but something goes wrong there between the ipod and the psTwo.

    you also have to format it through usb extreme

    the tab on the top says disk format then click that and follow the instructions

    If it doesnt show up in USB Extreme, the PC program, then its not compatible?

    No matter what I put on the ipod, USB Advance does the same thing, says I need a USB HDD.

    As far as i know, iPod's HD is from TOSHIBA, which is not supported by USBeXtreme. Therefore, using iPod with USBeXtreme is not possible. You can still use Swapmagic to load your games, but only 4 games at a time and they have to be under 4gb in size.
