Hi I've just downloaded swap magic off the net and burned it onto a disk when I put the disk in the ps2 it said "enter a ps2 disk or ps2 format disk" i dont know if it works yet because I have'nt got a chipped game. Will it work? Or will I have to do anything else? Thanks.

I agree, you need to think of Swapdisc as hardware and not software

You need a slide tool or fliptop to do a game swap. If you hit eject on the PS2 it will only reset the system making the PS2 scan the disc that was placed in making sure it is an original disc. If it can?t scan the barcode it will not load. Using a fliptop or slide tool gets around the resetting of the PS2 when you hit eject.
This being why you need an original disc of swap magic. It needs that code to make the PS2 think it is an original game. Once Swap Magic loads it tells you to swap the disc. At this point you use a slide tool or the fliptop to switch the backup game.
The code connot be burned into the disc. It is pressed into the disc. That is why you need an original disc and not a burned 1
