Looks like Splinter Cell is a no go with flip-top and Boot Disc v2.0. This really blows. Anyone have luck with it yet?

As mentioned before, goes through the intro fine, let's you select a saved game or create a new one, then just when you think it's GO TIME, it craps out when reading memory. Wonder if this will become a new trend.... let's freaking hope not.

Has anyone got this game to work with flip-top??? Will it ever???

Dills and all, here's what I am using...

HP DVD 200i burner
DVD Decrypter 3.1.4.0
Memorex DVD+Rs.

I write at 1x speed in Decrypter. Every other DVD game I have tried works with this method but Splinter Cell.

Note: I have yet to try Hitman2 with this layout, it failed on me with Nero only. I find DVD Decrypter is the easiest way to make my back ups.

from what i have gathered...

swap magic is the problem with splinter cell.

I have read on newsgroups of successful images in ISO form with both swap magic and gameshark testing. Guy has played first 4-5 levels with saving and loading working fine with gameshark boot up. Swap magic results in problems stated above. I dont think i wanna buy gameshark to play one game....maybe new versions will fix this...

dont throw your dvd's away yet...the image is probably fine!!! :)

I got my ps2 flip cover and swap magic discs today. Got the cover installed and stuff. I pulled my swap magic DVD out of its sleeve and noticed something. I don't wanna sound like a noob or anything, but there isn't supposed to be a huge scrape at an arc around the outer half inch of the dvd is there? I think my disc is bad cuz it doesn't boot to the "Insert disc" screen. The CD one does, just not the DVD one.

I figured as much, we'll see how Baysoftgames responds to my complaint email (they didn't seem to have a tech support phone number)

Anyone who is planning to buy from chipzone.....don't order from that peice of #$@# store. I order a second set of fliptops and swap disc from them since they accept paypal. Thought it would be faster. Even paid $20 for Express mail!!!! $20!!!! I don't even pay that much using UPS or FEDEX!!!!! :( now it's been over a Week since it said on their site it was shipped!!!!!! @#@#$##@# chipzone peice of !@#@!#!#!@$!#....lol. watch out if you plan on getting anything from them.

no word on the new versions always just been rumors....if you dont wanna wait you could buy and try gameshark...

I read in the same newsgroups the same type of issues with hitman 2 which is why i didnt bother trying. Came in the same sentence as splinter cell. The only 2 games he knew that swap magic couldnt do were those 2 games...

right on, we'll I just save the disc I created, sit back and wait to see if a new version of the swap discs come out. Almost done with the game anyway (splinter cell). Plus I hear they are working on a hitman 3, wonder what challenge that will bring!

what are you burning them with? what speed are you reading and writing at? are you copying on the fly or imaging to the drive first? what brands of media. name some of the games, i've done almost all the cd based games so i can prolly tell you if it can be done or not.

you still havent said what speeds your making the image/burning or if your doing it on the fly....

sounds to me like your not burning correctly

nero is the best
under 16X burning
not on the fly
