Shipping And Emails to Resume after Office Flood.

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 02:01:00 +0000

As stated in an earlier blog post. Our staff here at PS2Cover.com have had the unfortunately experience of having our office flood due to heavy rains and a leak in the roof of our office building. Thankfully, no records were lost or damaged, but our office was essentially unworkable for a period of 7 days. For this reason we have not been able to respond as swiftly to our email inquiries from our valued customers and our shipping times have been delayed by 7 working days.

Thankfully, we will be able to resume normal operations starting tomorrow afternoon, and will begin to immediately pick, pack and ship customer orders as well as respond to customer inquires as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your patience and your business during this time. For those of our new customers who were affected - we apologize for any inconvenience caused. A large number of you with the longest delays will receive a suprise in your parcel from PS2Cover.com

Thank you again.

Which is better? DS linker or R4

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 15:21:00 +0000

That's a question we hear very often. And why not. There are countless slot 1 solutions on the market for the Nintendo DS and it can make picking the right one - without first being able to use it - a bit more complicated. But it really doesn't have to be. There are slews of reviews online for virtually any Nintendo DS Flash Carts - including the most popular Slot 1 Solutions too.

So Which is better? The DS Linker or R4 DS ?

From what we can gather, the R4 DS seems to be a favorite among homebrew gamers. It offers unrivaled compatibility and speed with games. IN fact the only Slot 1 Solution that matches it is the M3 DS simply - And this is simply because (excuse the pun) the 2 units are made by the exact same people - at the exact same factory - and have exactly the same software (albeit not interchangeable between the two units). Both the M3 DS simply and the R4 DS are compatible with the brunt of the games on the market today. While the DS Linker is also compatible with many of the games, there are certain issues such as games slowing down, or intro movies not playing smoothly.

The DS Linker is a fine unit - don't get us wrong. And quite suitable for one reason or another to many of our customers. Perhaps they have a friend who has a DS Linker or it's the unit the prefer based on some of the homebrew applications that were made especially for that unit.

What is also important to consider when making your purchasing decision is memory. The DS linker and several other units have built in flash memory. This means that you won't be able to add more storage should you need to do so in the future. Now, 8Gbits (1 Gigabyte) is more than enough right now to store up to 20 - 50 files, depending on the file sizes, it may not be enough if in the future.

The Advantage that units like the R4 DS and the M3 DS Simply have are that they use external microSD cards that you can buy very cheaply at most electronics stores. So you're not at all stuck with any memory limitations, and can in fact have 2 or 3 microSD cards, each holding 20 - 50 files that you can carry in your pockey. Pretty darn good if you as us. Having the flexibility to upgrade the memory space - or have more than one memory card that you can pop into the unit is something that should be taken very seriously - it really does open up a whole new spectrum of storing and playing multi game files and homebrew applications.

Cheapest Slot 1 Flash Carts

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 15:13:00 +0000

There is plenty of choice (and even more confusion) when it comes to purchasing your Slot 1 Flash cart. More often than not, because most units have many of the same features and functions it really comes down to the design (asthetic appeal of the product) and then, the biggest factor is the PRICE.

When you're looking for a flash cart, you may not want to get the Cheaperst Slot 1 Flash - but may be pleasantly surprised to learn that going from one that perhaps isn't as good, to one that is rated as the best Nintendo DS Slot 1 Flash cart doesn't mean you have to break your wallet. The prices vary, in most cases, by only $4 - $10 dollars. And speding an extra $4.00 to get something that has cusomters raving, as opposed to substandard support from the manufacturer might be exactly what you need.

There is very little - if any - difference between say the M3 DS Simply and the R4 DS Slot 1 solution. But if you're getting into something like the NinjaDS slot 1 card, you may be sacrificing a whole slew of features for the sake of saving $5.00. While we carry all of them (we want to make sure out customers have a wide variety of choices ) We do have our favorites - and they are not based on our own biased opinions but on reviews of the products by people like you - the customers!

Xbox 360 Mods

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 18:25:00 +0000

There are numerous Xbox 360 Mods on the market today. Listing each one of them would only bring on a wave of confusion and undecidedness. For this reason we'll focus right now on only one of Xbox 360 Mods. The All360 Xbox 360 Mods are virtually identical to the Globe360 mod chips. They enable your Xbox 360 to play all kinds of games, including import and backup games.

Unlike many of the Xbox 360 Mods on the market, that are mainly just firmware upgrades to your console, rendering them unuseable on Xbox live marketplace or Xbox live multi player sessions. The All360 modchips are actually chips that are universal and undetectable to the Xbox live system. This is because they do not actually update your firmware in way, shape or form, and only inject code to the Xbox 360 when it is required, then turning themselves off again - as if there was no xbox 360 mod chip installed.

For this reason, when you're looking at all of the Xbox 360 Mod Chips available. We would strongly urge you to look at the All360 or Glove 360 modchips. You'll save yourself a lot fo headaches and also from potentially being blocked from Xbox Live (the heart of online gaming when it comes to Xbox) and allow you to continue to play all of your games.

Swap Magic Slim Packages

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 01:50:00 +0000

Swap magic slim packages come in just 2 shapes and sizes. Either a flip top lid for your slim ps2 or the Swap Magic slim tool package. Both of which will allow you to use the swap magic to play your favorite games.

If you own a slim PS2 console, you have two choices when it comes to playing ps2 import games on your playstation 2 console - without the need for installing any type of a ps2 modchip. As you know, ps2 mod chips allow you to play import and backed up playstation 2 games on any region playstation 2 console.

The first option for a Swap Magic Slim Package is the Swap Magic & Slim PS2 Flip Top Package - this small little replacement flip top replaces just the top loading tray section of your original slim ps2 console to allow you to use the swap magic to play import and backup games. The installation of the replacement flip lid is quick and easy - and takes most of our customers less than 15 - 25 minutes from start to finish.

The second option is the Ultimate Swap Magic and Slim Tool Combo package. This does not require you to put on a new flip lid on your slim ps2 console, but instead to insert the 3 pieces of the small SLIM TOOL to the specific locations on your ps2 console in order to make them work with the Swap magic to allow you to swap your games.

You can find out more about both of these options at our Swap Magic and PS2 Mod Chip products page.

How To Install R4 DS

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 03:44:00 +0000

Welcome to our quick guide on How To Install R4 DS. Or more precisely, how to set up your R4 DS so that you're able to use it's features and functions on your Nintendo DS. This guide on how to install the R4 DS will explain, in detail, all of the steps needed to get your R4 DS ready to accept your games and homebrew software.

The R4 DS does not come ready to work, out of the box. While you get everything you need (including the software you'll have to put on your microSD card) you will need to manually put the operating system for the R4 DS on the actual microSD Card.

As a side note, if you own, or are thinking of buying an M3 DS SIMPLY then this guide is actually relevant to your M3 DS Simply Slot 1 card too - word for word. Because both of these units are manufactured by the same factory (read: people) the setup instructions to get you up and running are exactly the same.

It may seem strange that the R4 DS does not immediately come with an operating system but that is simply because it requires the use of a MicroSD Card in order to store both the operating system as well as the files you want to store and load.

You'll first need to go to the R4DS website in order to download the latest software / operating system for the R4 DS. Once you've saved the archive on your computer (make sure to save it to a location that you make note of - so you can find it) you'll need to use winrar to unpack the archive to a directory in the folder where you've saved your file. You can download a free / shareware version of winrar to do the unpacking for now.

Once you've unpacked the archive - follow these steps to copy the files to your microSD card by using the microSD Card reader/writer (with your microSD Card plugged into the reader/writer) that you should by now have plugged into a free USB port on your PC or Laptop.

Step 1) R4 DS Hardware Installation
Connect the MicrosSD (Transflash) card to PC with the card reader, then go to the "/SYSTEM" directory on the CD-Rom Disc that was included with your R4 DS... Or if you downloaded the system files, copy them from the directory that you unpacked the operating system into.

A- Loading the game kernel: Copy the "_DS_MENU.DAT" from the directory of the simplified game kernel/ traditional game kernel to the root directory of microSD card.

B- Loading the media kernel: Copy the "moonshl" folder and the "_DS_MSHL.NDS" file at the "moonshell" directory to the root directory of TF card;
C- Load the DIY interface: Copy all the folders "_system_" to the root directory of the TF card.
2) Unload TF Card
After you have finished adding all of the system files / operating system, and the game / homebrew files you want to have on your microSD card, then right click the removable disk icon on the right hand corner of the screen; Pull out the MicroSD card from card reader/writer.

And that's it! You're now set to start playing. Just plug the MicroSD Card into the microSD card slot of the R4 DS (or the M3 DS Simply) and plug the R4 DS into the cartridge slot of your Nintendo DS and power up. You'll see the R4 DS menu system and you can then make the selection of your choice. Either Games or media.

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 17:11:00 +0000

How to Use the Swap Magic DVD is explained here in detail. You'll be surprised at just how easy it is to actually load your import or backup Playstation 2 games with the Swap Magic DVD or Swap Magic CD Disc. The Swap Magic discs come with 2 different discs. Both of them look and act the same, but the DVD disc is used for loading DVD based games, while the CD Disc is used to load CD based games.

The very first step you have to take when using the Swap Magic Discs, is to power up your Playstation 2 console, and insert either the DVD or the CD Version of your Swap Magic discs. The DVD Version of the Swap Magic is used for loading up DVD based backup and import Playstation 2 games, while the CD Version of the Swap Magic is used for booting up CD Based backup or import games.

Once you have loaded up the Swap Magic main menu, you will be greeted by 2 different menu options. The LOAD PROGRAM option is the one you'll want to use, in order to load your import order backup or import Playstation 2 game.

You'll need either a Flip Top cover or a Slide card / Slide tool in order to use the Swap Magic discs. Without these, you won't be able to swap out the Swap magic disc and won't be able to use the swap magic dvd or cd discs at all.

HDD Loader File

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 17:02:00 +0000

The HDD Loader File is actually called the HD Loader for Playstation 2. It is a disc / software that allows you to load and store you PS2 games right from a Playstation 2 Hard Drive. It is not a piece of software that you can write to a blank CD or DVD and put it into your Playstation 2 console in order to load it up. It boots just like any normal game would.

The HD Loader allows you to, once loaded, to put in any game disc and then store it onto the hard drive. In essense it is an HDD Loader File, because it allows you to boot it into memory, and then install the games / homebrew applications to a hard drive installed into your PS2.

You can also use any HDD Loader / Hard drive in order to store your games on to. You are not limited to using only the 40 gig hard drive that came with Final Fantasy for the Playstation 2 - but in fact you can put in any HDD drive, even one that is 120Gig.

Flip Top Cover

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 16:45:00 +0000

When looking for ways to play import games without a mod chip - there are really only 2 different options available - both of them equally good, quick, and easy to do.

The first option available is the Flip Top Cover for the Playstation 2. Whether you need a flip top cover for the older, thicker Playstation 2 consoles, or the newer slim ps2 flip top cover which works the same as the older model.

You can't however use the flip top cover on its own. You need to combine the flip top cover with a swap magic disc or an ultimate swap disc. Using these two together enables you to load your import and backup games without the need for any internal mod chip or wiring inside the Playstation 2 system.

IN fact, if you can use a screw driver, you can use the flip top cover ... Find out more about the flip top cover , the swap magic or the ultimate swap disc by checking out http://www.ps2cover.com

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 02:55:00 +0000

Often referred to as a Nintendo DS Lite Mod - The R4 DS is not actually a Nintendo DS Lite mod on the same sense of things. It is actually a slot 1 Nintendo DS Flash Cart and Linker that allows you play Nintendo DS games and roms and Nintendo DS Homebrew files.

Much more then just a Nintendo DS Game player, it also allows you to load all types of homebrew software as well as Watch Movies on the R4 DS, listen to Mp3 Music, and even read ebooks.

Swap Disc Wii - A Nintendo Wii Swap Disc

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 17:24:00 +0000

Are you looking for a Swap Disc for the Nintendo Wii ? If so, we regret to inform you that there is no such Swap Disc for Wii at all. Unlike the Playstation 2 which has the Swap Magic Discs which enable gamers to play import and backup games for their PS2 console - without the need for a mod chip. The Swap Disc for Wii just does not exist.

While a Wii Swap Disc would truly be something we would carry, in a heartbeat of course. There simply is no outlook for a Wii Swap Disc. The reason for this is that all Nintendo Wii Mod Chips are just Drive Chips. By this we mean that they control and send information to the DVD Rom drive in the Nintendo Wii console, as opposed to working with or writing to the BIOS chip of the Wii. A Swap Disc for the Wii would require some work to more intimately interact with the actual Bios of the Wii console.

While we won't rule a Swap Disc Wii Edition - we don't see this item as something that is as yet possible. Even booting simply Homebrew games on the Wii still require quite a bit of work, and for this reason - a Swap Disc Wii Version is not something that we see as being available any time in the near future.

For this reason we suggest to all of our customers either the WiiKey mod chip for the Wii or the Cyclowiz Mod chip for the Nintendo Wii, both of which allows playing of import and backup Wii games quickly and easily.

PS2 Modchip 4.0

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 15:49:00 +0000

Quite often when searching for the PS2 Modchip that is just right for the needs of your PS2 console, there are brand names that get confused with Generic Modchip products. The PS2 Modchip 4.0 is exactly the type of situation I just mentioned. There is only one mod chip on the market that is in its 4th version, and that would be the ModBo 4.0 ps2 modchip.

The modbo 4.0 is the only PS2 Modchip with the version 4.0. It is a truly a universal ps2 modchip in that it works in all ps2 mod chip system world wide, released to date.

NDS Flash Cart And Linker

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 15:35:00 +0000

With the wide variety of NDS Flash Cart and Linker bundles on the market today, it can be a little bit confusing when it comes to making a decision on which NDS Flash Cart And Linker to buy.

Because virtually ALL linkers and flash carts for the NDS Do the same thing, it really boils down to just 2 things.

1. As a gamer, you want to play only NDS Games and homebrew software with the NDS Flash Cart and Linker ?

2. You're a gamer that wants to play both NDS and GBA Games with your NDS Flash Cart And Linker

If you fall into the first category, then you're options are quite clear. There are 2 favorites (based on customer feedback and sales) as far as NDS FLash Cart and Linkers go, these two favorites are either the M3 DS Simply or the R4 DS - both of which allow you to play NDS Games and homebrew software on your Nintendo DS Console. They are Slot 1 Solutions, which means they fit perfectly into the Nintendo DS Cartridge slot on your NDS Console, allowing the NDS Flash Cart to act like a regular Nintendo DS game cartridge. You simply use MicroSD Cards to store your game and homebrew files and are greeted with a menu when you turn on your Nintendo DS.

If you fall into category 2, wherein you want to play both NDS and GBA games and homebrew software, you'll want to get your hands on something like the Supercard SD with a SuperKey / Passme in order to allow playing of both GBA and NDS files with the NDS Flash Cart and Linker. The SuperCard SD comes with 2 pieces of hardware. The first being the Supercard itself, which allows you to load and store GBA files, and then the Superkey or Passme which will allow you to load and store NDS Files, and boot / load NDS files on your Nintendo DS with the flash cart.

Take a look at all 3 solutions. The M3 DS Simply and the R4 DS for just NDS gaming and the Supercard SD and SuperKey for NDS and GBA Gaming.

PS2 Region Free

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 02:52:00 +0000

Turning your PS2 into a region free games system means that your PS2 will be able to play all games, region free. The Playstation 2 has built in region codes, much like your DVD player and the DVD movies you watch. But unlike DVD movies and DVD players, the PS2 only games 3 different regions.

Region 1 - USA NTSC, Region 2 - JAPAN NTSCJ and then the PAL European models. In order to turn your PS2 region free, you simply need to install a PS2 Mod Chip or use a Swap Magic disc or Ultimate Swap Disc. Any of these solutions will enable your PS2 to become Region Free - and having a PS2 Region Free console is like being able to expand your software library by thousands of exisiting import games. There are literally thousands of Japanese games that you could be playing on your ps2 console.

Swap PS2 Games With Gameshark

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 02:46:00 +0000

Or better yet, we recommend either the Swap Magic or the Ultimate Swap Disc. Both of which make swapping your import or ps2 backup games much easier and staright forward. If you're into game codes and cheats, don't fret, the Gameshark will still work for you, and the Ultimate Swap Disc also has a gameshark compatible cheat code program built right into the software, so you'll not be without your abilities to "cheat"

While you could Swap PS2 Games with Gameshark - you'll have to go through numerous steps in order to do so, and you'll have to swap at excatly the right time. Both the Swap Magic and the Ultimate Swap take care of this situation by making it possible for you to know exactly when you need to stop - because the disc will have stopped spinning.

Now, bear in mind, just as if you would Swap PS2 Games with Gameshark discs, you'll still need either a Slide Card or Slim Tool or a PS2 Flip Top in order to be able to do your game swapping - this is a must, and without these additional add ons, you won't be able to play your import or backup games.

Playing Roms on Nintendo DS

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 13:15:00 +0000

There are various products on the market today that allow you to play roms on your Nintendo DS. Many DS owners think that Playing Roms on the Nintendo DS is an arduous task, requiring countless hours of converting files, finding software, expensive flash carts, etc... The truth is that Nintendo DS Flash Carts have come a long way. In fact, they are as easy to use as popping in an Nintendo DS Cartridge.

There are two favorites (based on sales popularity and reviews from customers) that are available on the market today, both for under $50.00 dollars (even under $40.00 in fact!)

The two units in question are the R4 DS and the M3 DS Simply. Both the R4 DS and the M3 DS Simply are what's known as a SLOT 1 solution to playing roms on Nintendo DS. These "slot 1" cards are the same size as an original Nintendo DS cartridge, and are inserted into the same Nintendo DS Cartridge slot on your NDS or NDS Lite.

Both the R4 DS and the M3 DS Simply require you to also have a MicroSD Card, as they load and store files from microSD memory cards - very common flash cards available at all electronics store.

By simply using the included microSD Card reader / writer that comes bundled with both the M3 DS Simply and the R4 DS, you're able to load / copy games and homebrew applications to the microSD card with ease. You then remove the microSD Card from your reader / writer and insert it into the microSD Card slot on the M3 DS simply or the R4 DS and turn on your Nintendo DS. You'll immediately be taken to a menu screen, where you select the GAME icon and you'll be shown a list of your games and homebrew applications.

By using your thumb stick and moving it up and down, you can go through the list of programs and press the A button to load them.

That's it. It's as simply as that when it comes to Playing Roms on your Nintendo DS

Wiikey Mod Chip Install

noreply@blogger.com (PS2Cover.com) — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 13:03:00 +0000

Installing the WiiKey Mod Chip into your Nintendo Wii is quick and painless. We liken it to the original PSOne mod chip installation where you have to solder only a few wires in order to attach the chip to the Nintendo Wii main board.

The Wiikey Mod Chip Install consists of 2 types of installation. You are able to use the Quick Solder pads for installation. And while this is a no wires required type of installation, it also means that removing the WiiKey mod chip from your Nintendo Wii will be far more difficult than it would be had you used wires.

For this reason, we are including a FREE Wire kit for the WiiKey Mod Chip Install to all of our customers who order the WiiKey from PS2Cover.com

The Wire kit for the WiiKey enables you to use wires instead of the quick solder pads for installation of your modchip. This method of installation, while requiring the use of wires is actually a lot easier to install into your Nintendo Wii than the quick solder method. It also allows you the flexibility to painlessly remove the WiiKey mod chip from your console at a later date, should you choose to do so.

You'll receive 5 color coded wires to make installation of your wiikey a breeze. These wires are pre-cut, pre-tinned and ready to solder to both the WiiKey mod chip as well as your Nintendo Wii Motherboard. Installation couldn't be easier.

With the easy to follow installation diagram, you'll also have a clear picture of where each wire has to go on your Nintendo Wii console.

Also online are our Nintendo Wii Disassembly Instructions, detailing to you step by step on how to take apart your Nintendo Wii Console for quick installation, showing you where each screw is "hidden" and by following the disassembly instructions in reverse, you're able to put your Nintendo Wii back to gether again, quickly and easily.

Due to popular demand, our HDLoader special is currently still available - but won't be for very much longer.

In case you've missed our special on the HD Loader, here's the information. Our HDLoader Special enables you to purchase an HDLoader from PS2Cover.com for the unbelieveable price of only $4.99 each. Compared to the regular $24.99 price of the HDLoader, you're saving a whooping $20.00 off the regular retail price of the HDLoader.

It's is however important to note that this special low price is ONLY available on the NTSC HDLoader for USA Playstation 2 consoles. We're not able to, at this time, to extend this offer on the PAL version of the HD Loader or the Japanese NTSC version HDLoader.

We are however going to have to increase the price very soon - back to the normal price of the HDLoader. We can't keep selling the HD Loader at this price for much longer. For this reason we strongly urge all of your to take advantage of this unbeatable price for the HD Loader as quickly as possible... We're not sure how much longer we'll be able to offer it at this low price.
