Can Launch Program from Memory Card - What the? For Real? Somebody explain this...
Swap Magic doesn't run games from the memory card it just allows you to install them to the memory card. Once they are installed they run on their own, haveing nothing to do with swap magic.
The Program that most people want to use off of their memory card is HDLoader. HDLoader is a program that allows you to install and run your playstation2 games off of a Hard Drive. Once you have it installed you no longer have to fumble through your disks to choose which game you want to play. Just turn your playstation on and select the game from a simple menu. Also running games off of a Hard Drive Greatly reduces Loading Times. You need to have an official Sony Brand Network adapter in order to install a Hard Drive into your PS2. Most PC IDE Hard Drives work fine. Maxtor Brand drives usually fit best.
You can find most of the PS2 Home Brew Aplications from

In order to install programs onto your Memory Card you will need an original PSOne game disk (any will work even the demo disks that used to come is PSM) and you will need to make a installer CD to install the programs to your Memory Card.
One of the best programs to use for creating your installer CD is
Indipendence Compiler 3.0
Useing the Independece Compiler
Step 1:
Insert your PSone game into your computer cd/dvd drive and then select [Get] and then [Add].
Step 2:
Recomended to just stick with the LaunchElf as your boot program.
Step 3:
Select any other programs you wish to install. And add them to the list.
Leave all the rest of the settings on their default selection and then click [Start].
You should now have a .cue and .bin file in C:/AUSDIGITAL/
Use which ever burning software you like for burning the files to a CD. Alcohol 120% or DVDDecrypter are the programs I'd recomend useing to burn your disc.
Now boot your PS2 with Swap Magic like normal and swap in the installer Cd you just burned. Run the Cd and press X. Wait a few seconds for every thing to get installed and then hit the power switch on the back of your playstation2. Now Turn your PS2 back on and insert your PSOne game. Wait a few seconds and it should boot up to LaunchElf. Then select the program you want to run off of your memory card and you should be good to go. The programs are generally installed to the SYSTEMDATA folder on the Memory Card.
