here's some answers
1. correct you dont have to bother with the disc id thing unless you plan to use your backups online
2.using DVD Decrypter in mode>iso>read then mode>iso>write to create your backups should be fine
3. can't help you with this one as i don't have that game

It is impossible to copy (burn) a swapmagic disc. These disk are pressed, not burned. What you are saying is very confusing. Try to be more clear in your responses, so we can help you better.

honestly i don't know, the gameshark boot method ain't one of my best subjects and i have know nothing about your autokey mod chip but i have found this maybe it might help

auto key 3 dvd-r boot instructions:

To Play the PS2 DVD Backups (for GS2(AR2) v2.0x) :

Note: (First thing you have to do before playing DVD backup with GS2(AR2) V2)
- Please check the cheat code of "Armored Core 2" was existed in your GS2(AR2) cheat list.
- Set up the cheat code of "Armored Core 2" as default cheat code. (It is
simply thing to do that just enter select cheat code and select the "Armored Core 2" code, then return to Main Menu, at this time you will see "Armored Core 2" on the below Main Menu page).

- Press Eject button and tray will move out, insert GS2(AR2) disc1 of v2.0x into tray.

- Press Reset to get back the tray , PS2 will then go to Standby mode - Reset light comes on red.
NOTE:if GS2(AR2) disc is already in ps2 drive with default code Armored Core 2 on then no need to re-insert the GS2(AR2)

- Press and holding Reset button until the PS2 goes into PS2 DVD Backup Mode, then release Reset button.

- For a while, GS2(AR2) Main Menu will be existed on monitor, and that the tray will comes out automatically.

- At that time, Reset button light will become on red about 7 sec, during this time the PS2 will checking the TOC
of original PS2 DVD after then, the Reset button will be flashing in green color.

- Don't touch any button of joypad, PS2 will auto execute "Start Game" -> "Witht Code" -> " Too many code..."
message on TV(what it would do is automaticly go to the armored core 2 code screen and the auto key will auto navigate itslef all the way till you have to swap backup with original)-> back to Main Menu Page -> "Start Game" -> "Without Code" -> Tray will move out
automatically.

- Further swap PS2 DVD backups in place of PS2 Originals ( ex. DMC ), after that the tray will move back
again automatically.
