Game just stops loading

I made backups of "Mercanaries" and "Terminator", the beginning of both games work, but when it gets to the final load, right before you can actually play the game, it stops loading and just sits there.

I thought it was a bad burn with Nero, so then I burned them both again with DVDdecrypter, and still same results.

I am using swapmagic version 3.6. Have been burning on 2x, and using Maxell DVD-R's, which works well for playing movies on the PS2, and a couple other backups work fine as well.

I have looked over the site, that have the fixes, but then read somewhere that you shouldn't need them if using swap magic 3.6.

Also, how do I tell what PS2 version I have? All I see on the back is the model number SCPH-30001 R, but nothing about version.

There must be one or two details I'm missing here, can anyone help?
Thanks

I believe Mercenaries is a dual layer or DVD-9 game. You would need to shrink it to DVD-5 to play it with Swap Magic. Try burning at 4x. Terminator should work with a straight burn.
