I have a problem with 3.8. Could you be of any assistance?
Okay, so first I launch my PS2 with swap magic.
The menu comes up and I switch the disk with my burnt game ( Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories ). Now here comes the problem! It spins for a bit, but then It suddenly stops spinning! After that i get an error which says "Please insert a Playstation or Playstation 2 format disc"
If your wondering what kind of dvd-r I'm using It's Verbatim 4,7 GB x16 and Traxdata dvd-rw 4,7 GB x16. Burning program: Dvd Decrypter.
I need urgently help!
Thanks! :D

Are you selecting your own region with Swap Magic 3.8

Select Normal, then select the Region of your PS2, whether it be NTSC or PAL

The "Please Insert a Format disc' means the PS2 cannot tell what type of disc you have inserted.

I made a video of what I'm doing so I'll upload it and post the link.
I'm suspecting it's a burning error. Don't you? Maybe I should change the booktype? I have a question! Does the "Traxdata dvd+rw" work? Or does it have to be -r or -rw? I would also like to know how to put ar codes on the ps2! :) Thanks!

Most PS2 do not like -rw or +rw, and even if the PS2 will read those discs, they are very hard on the laser.

Best too use DVD-r

Using armax evo for Swap Magic isn't hard to do

armax evo NTSC - download

armax evo PAL - download

I made them separate as they caused issues to have both on one DVD
Just burn to DVD-r using imgburn at 4x.

Hi smokyrain,

Both the NTSC and PAL links above, reference the same URL.
