How to Use Swap Magic on a Slim PS2

The PS2 slim (PlayStation 2) console from Sony lets you play games from the PAL or NTSC format regions, depending on the type of console you have. For example, North American PS2 slim consoles are of the NTSC format region, and PS2 slim consoles from other countries utilize the PAL format.
