I have Swap Magic 3.6 to load DVD burned games and it works 100% of the times.

But when I use Swap Magic 3.8 Coder to load CD burned games, it works only after many, many tries.

When I boot, the disc spin slowly while the laser tries about 6 times to start the CD, and eventually fail and bring me to the memory cards menu.

But some times, he succeed to "grab" the CD, start spinning fast, the game start and after that the game works well.

I just wonder why the hell he have so much hard times to "grab" the CD. I can retry more than 10 times every time I want to play a CD burned game. I become frustrating after a while.

I always burn with good quality CD and at slow speed, I don't think that the problem is about that.

I don't see any solution to this. Is there a solution?

Please note that I have the NTSC version and that when I bought Swap Magic I received 3.6 to boot DVD and 3.8 Coder to boot CD.

A lot of PS2 have problem to read CD

The Laser is set differently for both DVD and CD

Sometimes a cleaning of the laser will help

Or you can just convert your CD>DVD and play it that way.

Or if you know someone else with a PS2, check the CD in their machine, so you know if its the disc or your PS2.
