there is one small thing when doing the patch that everyone seems to miss, not sure if that was your problem but i patched it and it works fine. Rebuilding will also work just a lot more steps.
How To Patch.
Download the patch,
create the ISO in a folder on your hard drive.
Unzip the patch and then move it into the folder where your ISO is.
now what everyone forgets. You have to rename your ISO file to
ptc-merc before you run the patch or it will not work.
after renaming it then run the patch. It should take like 1/2 hour and create a new ISO for you to burn.

You'll have to rebuild. I just tested the game already patched using an original game with a smaller TOC (SOCOM 2 4.09GB while Mercenaries disc without rebuilding is 4.36GB big) and the game locked up at the same screen.
The rebuilding of this game has been reported to lower the size to something below 4.0GB. If you don't want to rebuild, then I suggest you pick up a cheap used copy of Devil May Cry 1 (only 10 bucks... seen it lower though) and you shouldn't need to worry about rebuild in your swapping career. And yes, the DMC 1 does work with CDLoader. You just have to know when to really TOC refresh.

You could try booting the DVDLoader disc and do the TOC refresh from there. I don't use Swap Magic and never have so I can't excatly tell you if you can actually TOC with Swap Magic without having to use any of the loaders.

If you want to go through all those steps (unless you have Nero which will be much easier) go ahead and rebuild it.
I know the patch works because that is what i did. The only thing the patch does is save you the manual steps and rebuilds the ISO for you.

I rebuilt this game and it works like a charm.All I did was decrypt the Game using DVDDECRYPTER.
2.I created a new folder and labeled it Mercenaries
3.I opened up ISOBUSTER and clicked on file,then open Image file.
4.I dragged the Iso file that DVDDECRYPTER made into ISOBUSTER.
5.I highlighted all the files in ISOBUSTER and then right clicked and chose extract objects.
6.It then put all the files into the new Mercenaries folder I made.
7.I then opened up Nero and selected Applications,then Nero BURNING ROM.
8.This takes you to "THE NEW COMPILATION" project screen.
9.Click on DVD from the drop down menu and then DVD-ROM(UDF/ISO)
10.Click on NEW.Doing this will take you to a new screen called UDFISO1_DVD-Nero BURNING ROM.
11. Now drag all the files from your new Mercenaries folder we created at the beginning of this help guide but make sure you drag them in the order that you placed them in ISOBUSTER.
12.You should have 16 files and 1.88GB
13.Rename your new compilation anything you want to (eg. MERCENARIES)
and click on the "BURNS THE CURRENT COMPILATION"
14.Burn your new Image at 4X speed when Nero asks you what speed you want to burn at.
15.Sit back and let it burn and presto you have a fully functional game to play whenever you want.
BTW I am using SWAPMAGIC 2.0 with an older version of the PS2 and I have tried both cheap media and High Quality media and they both work flawlessly.Hope this helps you guys out.

My patched copy is 4.37GB big, so I'm guessing it's not rebuilding the game to lower the size. In fact, the image files are identical in size before and after the patch. Which means there's no real size difference between a patched version and a non-patched one. So he'll have to manually rebuild Mercenaries after patching the ISO.

You either patch it, or rebuild it.
Not both
They are the same thing. One is just a manual process.
