Hi folks,

What is the TOC?, and why does putting a game in with a larger one in conjuntion with the SWAP MAGIC DISCS, allow a back up game to run?

How can this work if the games are unrelated?

Im just trying to understand the fundementals.

Many thanks!

Stupid Disc! lol :o)

toc = size.
swap magic can only load games up to the size of swap magic. If the game is larger than swap magic, you need to refresh the toc with a bigger game.

Thank you very much sly, nicely explained. Could you recommend a disc with the largest TOC?, I understand GTA Vice City is quite big.

Cheers! :o)

can you do this if the backup is a dl disc? (use a large original disc to refresh the toc)...or is swap magic just not able to handle dl discs....?

If Swap Magic is just a pressed disk with junk on it to take up size, why didnt they do it dual layered max size so every game would work?
