When I'm using DVD Decrypter, it's burns fine in about 10 minutes. When I choose the option to ISO write, and enter in my blank DVD, there are two files, a .ISO file and a .MDS file. I click on the .ISO file and I get an error stating "You should have selected the MDS file and not this one. I'll do it for you automatically this time, but don't do it again!" What does this mean? Any help out there would greatly be appreciated.

Hey thanks for the help. Ok I did select the MDS, it burnt, but when I try to load it on my PS2, (which has been modded with a No Solder V4 Mod chip) it doesn't work. This is what I'm doing, let me know if I'm doing something wrong. I place my Swap Magic 3 Version 3.3 in my PS2, from what I have read, it is suppose to load automatically asking me to insert a Disk, but it doesn't. It stays on a screen saying Load Program and Video Mode:Normal. So I press the eject button, take out the DVD Swap Magic disk, and put in the disk that I just burnt. I close the slot, and it says "Not a valid PS2 disc". From what I typed, can you tell where I went wrong? Thanks for you help!!

from what you have said,you probably have a bad burn
what media are you using?
what speed are you burning at?
what game is it?

Ya man, this is going to be my first copied game. Stayed up all night trying to figure it out. I just got a NEC 16x Dual Layer DVD Burner, and from what I can tell, it's going to be pretty cool. So you suggest that I should lower the speed? What would you recommend? And are you familiar with Magic Swap 3 version 3.3? Should it load on it's own and then instruct me to put in a disk? Any feed will help. Once again thanks!!

aixelsyd. Here's what you're doing wrong. Do Not push the eject button once you see the load program screen! you need to use the slide card that came with you Swap Magic disks to Manually open disk tray. take out swap disk and put in the backup. now push tray closed with your hand, and use slide card again to lock the tray down. once the tray is locked push X on your controller. (the load program should still be on your screen) when you push X it will load your backup. hope that helped. By the way, the 1st time I used my slide card I broke the little hook on my card by trying to force it. So Be Carefull!!
