The quad swap trick worked... but was a fucking nightmare. If you got the timing off by just a second, the game would either not boot...boot and crash...or have no sound....and there were four opportunities to fuck this up. Source: my own experience

To have a flawless swap trick that stops the drive was much much better

For as much as I engaged with the PSX I was an early adopter (I'm talking keep it upside down because overheating early), so swaps were trivial.

Maybe this is the reason why the guy bothered with it as late as 2000, get some later models on equal ground there. Although by that time it was also trivial to get some hard mods, also.

Fair enough

I had good luck with quad swap but I’d easily believe the ease of operation depended on exact version of the console etc
