I followed the tutorial for the game swap trick using a PAL Socom II which resulted in it failing to launch ulaunch and asking me to insert a genuine playstation disc
Already checked around but not much information about using Socom II other than this thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-114/...od_help-799749/
but no firm conclusion.
PS2 is SCPH-39003, Disc is Verbatim DVD-R, Extracted and burnt with DVD Decrypter at 2x using all the software on the Free Mcboot site.
Anyone got any tips

If all you have is a PS2 and some PS2 retail games, then it may be possible for you to install FMCB with just a backup disc. This guide will show you how to boot into uLuanchELF to boot the FMCB Installer. You can refer to the User Guides to show what to do after the FMCB Installer is running.
Note: The disc will still be spinning while you swap in the backup, so you risk disc damages to your original PS2 Game.
This trick started with 007 Agent under Fire , so i will use that as the main guide. Other games also work using the same process, but the ELF file and locations on the disc may be different. If you dont have any PS2 games in the list (below), then try the ones you have or a PS2 Demo disc.
My suggestion is to try games older then 2001, some newer games have a disc check and will fail to load the backup's edited ELF file.
A more indepth guide is available for 007 - Agent Under Fire written by Hypno
Requirements:
Original retail PS2 Game disc
Blank discs - Use good quality
Apache v1.1
DVD Decrypter / IMGBurn
PC with CD/DVD burner
uLaunchELF - Its just the uncompressed BOOT.ELF
Step 1
1. Make a .iso image of 007 Agent Under Fire using dvd decrypter or imgburn.
2. Extract the uncompressed BOOT.ELF from the uLaunchELF rar and rename it to DRIVING.ELF
Step 2
1. Use Apache to open the .iso image u made.
2. highlight "DRIVING.ELF" in apache on your right side
3. select "ISO Tools" from the tab above, now select "Change TOC for Selected File", change the "Size (dec)" to 915196, don't change the LBA. This is the file size of the "uncompressed BOOT.ELF". (if your using a different uLaunchELF file, right click the file on your pc and select properties, the first "Size" is the size in bytes. This is the size you need to use in Apache)
4. with "DRIVING.ELF" still highlighted, select "ISO Tools" again, now select "Update Selected File", select the DRIVING.ELF file that was ulaunchelf's "uncompressed BOOT.ELF" you rename, it will say "selected file replaced".
5. Burn the edited ISO to disc with DVD Decrypter / IMGBurn
Step 3
1. Put the orignal ps2 game in your ps2 now.
2. play the game until you make it to the 2nd level which is the DRIVING level, then save your game
3. Return to the main menu, swap trick your original for your backup and when you select the 2nd level, it'll boot to ulaunchelf
You should now see the uLE main screen and from there you can install FMCB off your USB stick.
-- Ensure the USB stick is connected. Press O button for the FileBrowser in the uLaunchElf screen, move down to mass:/ and hit O, then move down to select FREE_MCBOOT.ELF and hit O to run it.
Just look at the CodeBreaker guide (click the Installations tab) if you need screen shots to view

Thanks for the reply, that is pretty much the guide I was using I cant seem to get it working using my retail SOCOM II disc, I guess I'm not performing the swap fast enough or it just doesn't want to work with SOCOM.
Will see if I can pick up a retail Agent Under Fire looks like it has the least problems.

I tried Swapping with NFSU2, did the iso and stuff, placed the original NFSU2 on the tray, swapped the copy, went to Online and when I pressed "x" so i could select online it said that no internet adaptor was detected (Indeed, I do not own the adaptor) so I could not run the ULaunchELF, because of the adaptor.
However I found another .elf file inside the game that is called B3_NTSC.ELF
The direction is this:
(or whatever your disc drive is) F:B3/B3_NTSC.elf
What can I do with this, is it the burnout demo included?.
What can I do o run the online feature?, do I need to change anything to the iso file?.
