Hey guys Im having trouble with both Area51 and MC3, I burned both "successfully" and yet (my other burned games work fine) when I boot these games the load times are like HELL, Area 51 barely makes it past the midway logo screen and Midnight Club takes minutes to load it feels like im playing PS1 games lol...

What do you guys think the problem is? I dont want to patch anything or download crap, just simply use the Swap Magic Disk version 2 that ive had for years now...Is it the cheap "Teon" DVD-R 8X disks I use with Nero? With all my other games its worked fine, what media do you reccommend instead or what other solutions should I try, thanks~~~!

Please use the term BACKUPED not BURNED.

Did you buy the Teon DVD-Rs at Staples?
The Teon's are no good. Also, use QUALITY DVD media such as Verbatim, Sony, TDK, Etc. Dont buy the least expensive, no brand DVD media. If you do not want to consider downloading any patches, you should consider upgrading to the newest Swap Magic Discs v3.6. They have much better load times and work better. You shouldn't really have problems with Midnight Club 3. The backup should work fine after you change your media and/or Swap Discs.

Hi
Its the media thats the problem and probably your burn speed, try good quality media, and experiment with different burn speeds i use x4 were as some people have better luck with x2. Try using DVD Decrypter to back up the games, i use version 2 swap magic and it boots all the games that the 3.3 version does.
