So then the fat! First time I tried the swap I failed, maybe I did the sliding incorrectly? Second time though was perfect as I mentioned above. I tried it in my slim and I ran into the same problem as MGS3. I burnt it this time at 1x to make sure nothing would go wrong.

Thankfully the sony disc pack arrived later in the day and I decided to try Fifa 2004 again. Popped it into my slim and it was fine tho Tried the failed burning disc of Fifa 2004 but that didn't work obviously. Arghhh, I even cleaned the disc with toothpaste and still nothing. So I tried MGS3 again but it wouldn't boot. The plastic isn't as strong as a real credit card, but it still works. So I woke up today and opened the disc tray cover and made my own swap tool out of an advertising credit card. Was it because I did it at 4x or do I blame crappy Panasonic? So no spare blank DVDs! I decided to leave it until the next morning, hoping the Sony blank DVDs I ordered last week after I read about this hack, would arrive. I copied my version and burnt it, but the burning failed. So then I decided to try fifa 2004 which would boot.

I tried to run my genuine MGS3 in the fat PS3 and it would give a damn disc error, it wouldn't boot MGS3 at all. I borrowed my friend's FAT PS2 and managed to find a blank DVD+R too, hoping the hack would work. Went into the online bit and then selected network configuration and bam black screen and I was worried, but then yes finally thank fuck the launchELF screen.

Made my own swap card and opened up the disc tray in order to swap discs at the main menu. Ok just now I have managed to get the hack working with Fifa 2004 (PAL) on my friends original FAT PS2 SCPH-3003 (PAL).
