When inserting a backup, the Swap Magic software starts to read the disc. The Swap Magic software uses colors to tell you if something is wrong, and if everything is OK.

Blue: The backups is OK, and ready to boot. The game should work - if not, there is simply no way to play that particular game using the Slide-Tool. You will properly need a Magic 3.1 mod chip to play that game.

Red: Swap Magic cannot read the disc, there is no way this disc is ever going to play. The most common problem is the use of bad quality CD-R or DVD-R media. Try a more expensive brand like Verbatim Data-Life. More common is the game not having been backed up properly. You need to use a different method, different software, different CD/DVD writer etc. Look in popular PS2 Forums for help making backups.

Green: The backups is OK, but Swap Magic is having trouble reading/understanding the disc but goes ahead anyway. If the game plays, then ok.. If not, the most common problem is simply the use of bad quality CD-R or DVD-R media. Copy the backup to a better disc, and it should work. This is a general problem with all backup solutions. People are not using good quality media.

What do you mean by "play tour game". After I press X the screen turns red with circles. What should I do?

Hey jpp01uk,
I haven't inserted the backup yet. When I insert the swap magic cd it never says "Insert Disc".

When i insert the swap magic "CD" it says:

SWAP MAGIC 3

- Load Program
- Videq Mode: Normal

X: Normal Boot
Square: Special Boot

What do I do next?

oh ok

you need a way of opening the cd tray without the ps2 knowing

ie a fliptop or a slide card, once you have done that hit x

also the swap magic cd version needs to be a real copy to work, not downloaded off the net

the cd version will also only load cd based games

you swap the swap magic disc in the drive, with the backup using the slide tool

you then lock the tray with the slide tool

once that is locked and you heard it "lock", just click load program (x)
