Some games of mine don't seem to work with my SwapMagic 2.0 DVD; instead of getting just a red border, I get the working blue one but after the screen turns black nothing happens and I can see the laser going back and forth and up and down, trying to read the disc. These are the games that don't work:

DDR Extreme (Japanese)
Pop'n Music 9 (Japanese)
Pop'n Music 10 (Japanese)
Ratchet & Clank
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Aresenal
SSX Tricky

I tried DVD Loader but that didn't work, but I might have done it incorrectly. I ended up getting an iso called "DVDloaderv7ALL" 539 megs. Since it is a DVD Loader, I figured that I had to burn it to a DVD, so I did so with Alcohol 120%. When I booted it up with my swap magic disc and pressed "x" to load the DVD Loader menu, there were several options. Not sure which one is the correct one (Is there a DETAILED guide for DVD Loader that includes the image file and detailed instructions somewhere?), I tried the first several with the games but I just got a red "border." What am I doing wrong? I thought I might need to patch these games, but under patch I just saw DVD Loader. Please help!

Well, I got more progress by doing this:

1. Put in Swap Magic 2.0 DVD
2. Swap in DVD Loader (On DVD)
3. When DVD Loader loads up, press eject and put Swap Magic 2.0 DVD in
4. After a while, the normal screen will come back and it'll tell you to press "x." Pressed "x."
5. New screen with a message to boot up via EA method. I do so with my flip-top and try to load of Pop'n Music; I get a green screen but nothing loads after the screen goes back; I can see the laser trying to read something from the inner sectors, but it just keeps going back and forth.

What did I do wrong?
