ok, so i got the Swap Magic set a long time ago (about a year ago), and i have not used it yet because i dont know exactly how to yet. what i have is:

2 CD's (Swap Magic 3.0 CD Version USA Build & Swap Magic 2.0 DVD Version USA Build)

and i have the swap tool too (the black little plastic thing).

I also have blank DVD's and Blank CD's.

I also have Nero full version and Alcohol 120% full version

so is there anything else i need to be able to copy PS2 Cd's/Dvd's and play them on the console?

Now if i have everything, what do i do? How do i copy a PS2 CD on a Blank CD and play it on the console and how do i copy a PS2 DVD and play it on the console using Swap Magic? Im noob at this stuff so please direct me through the steps so i can get this right and make it clear. If someone will take the time to do this for me I will either give them: Registry Mechanic w/ crack, or Gmail invite, or Trial Bike Pro full version, or Nero Serial. Thanks.

Youre gonna need a DVD burner and a CD burner to copy PS2 DVD's and CD's. If you got those, just say yeah or whatever and ill tell you what to do next.

most games you can do a 1:1 copy using nero

just in case you need to patch it or somthing

i copy the disk to my hardrive using the image recorder
and have the read option set to data dvd
then sive it to anywhare on your hardrive
or make a folder for your images like i do

to burn back to a disk open Nero click off the wizard
click on open browse to the image you made
then click on burn

thats the way i do it for about 80% of my games so far

the others have to be patched or rebuilt
there are a few threads on here for them games

here is a list of backed up games

here is a tutorial for using the most popular
program here DVD Decrypter

Here are some others like rebuilding ISO and such that may help you.

and hoping that you also know that swap magic alone will not let
you play your back ups.

hehe well, then if you got the game, put it in the appropriate drive, and you have to extract the image. Use Isobuster for that. Then burn the extracted image to a cd or dvd. If you download games, then download the image and burn it to a dvd or cd. They're usually .iso files, but if its something like .bin and .cue, burn the .cue file to the cd even tho its only a couiple KB's, and you'll have the game. Ask if you got any more questions.

you will need regular DVD5 (4.7gb)
i use Philips 8X DVD-R
and i forgot above, here is a tutorial on using your slide
card that is really good.
http://www.consoleplus.com/support/supp_slidecard.htm

most games (95%) will fit on those, there are some
that are dual layer (DVD9) and they will not
God Of War, Champions Of Norath & Return To Arms,
The Guy Game, Gran Tourismo 4 and i forget any other
