How do you switch games?

When you switch games what do you do?It says in the manual that you don\'t have to turn the ps2 off when you switch games.What do you guys do?

A:When I want to switch games I set the ps2 on standby and then i take the first game out and put the second game in.Then I set it from stand by to on and I play the second game.

B:I just open the cd drawer while the game is running(you don\'t put it on standby) I take the first game out and pop the second one in.Then I press reset.

When I follow path b the game always says"the disc tray is open please close the disc tray"

So speak up

I just press reset followed by eject and put in the next game. Press eject again and away you go.

Dumbest question ever.

you do so as it says it in the manual. Switching of the console and on is bad - you may brake it that way. To switch games, simply press the eject button.

For some reason, i did that once when i rented nhl hits, and my game was saved, then i ejected it while it was in the starting menu, then the next time i tried to load my game it couldnt, so i had to delete it. I usually hold down the on button till it goes red, press the eject button, then put in the other game. I dunno if that hurts it but my ps2 doesnt seem damaged er anything. If it does hurt the ps2 to do that plz let me know.

-while the disc is still in the ps2, I just simply press eject.
-then swap discs
-then I close the tray either by pressing eject or pushing the tray in a little
-then i press reset

That\'s how I do it.  My PS2 still doing fine.

i press eject, take out the game i was playing then take the cd i wanna put in and take a 5 step drop and huck the game in the tray from 10 feet out. then i do my patented "cd tray close" dance and the tray closes. then i take a 7 foot stick otherwise known as my weiner and use it to push reset... and then im done.

1.press the eject
2.Change disk
3.press reset(No reason to push eject again and then reset)

I wondered a bout that. sometimes when I push the reset its shuts down other times it resets. Is my PS2 bad or somthing?

No.Your PS2 isnt bad.Just dont push it much.I think thats because you are pushing it more than needed and set your PS2 in stand by mode instead of reseting it.

I agree !

This is how I do it.

1. Pause the game, press the eject button.
2. Swap the disc\'s.
3. Press reset and the disc tray will close and the system will restart.

Game will load..

I use a crowbar to open the tray, throw my new disc in, then go downstairs and reset the power for the whole house, come back up, and kick the reset button to start up again :rolleyes:
