Anyone

I have SwapMagic 3.3 and I can't get CDs to work for nothing. It's like my PS2 has a hard time reading CDs. Is it something special I need to be doing? Also, is it possible to reformat a CD ISO to a DVD ISO? Cause a DVD is more stable than a CD anyway.

They picked the one colour the PS2 had difficulty reading.. damn Sony.
It really is unhealthy for the PS2 to read those CDs.

Below is a link that tells you how to convert PS2-CD to PS2-DVD I always convert my PS2-CD to DVD and works well. I had the same problem with CD's not reading on my PS2.
