What program did you use to backup your game? Also what media did you use?

I used dvd dycryper, roxio 7 & 8, sonic, 1 click dvd, and clonecd.
I used a verbatim -r 8x, fujifilm +r/-r 8x, Memorex 16x +r, nexxtech 8x +r.

DVD Decrypter is the best software to use to backup PS2 games. As with the media, the Verbatim 8x DVD-R is probably the best you got for a PS2. Just a question, does your original game still work?
Also, what speed do you burn the games at? Try to burn at a slow speed (i.e. nothing more than 4x MAX! I usually burn at 2x)

Yes my original game work. I can start my original game pause it take it out and put in a copy and it will conintue to play as if it were the original. It just won't boot the copy. I usually burn anywhere from 1x to 8x

Hmm, if that works I'm guessing your backups should be fine, in which case I'd be suspecting a dodgy swap magic disc... do you have any friends who have the same disc that you can borrow to try, before you take the discs back to the store for a replacement?

Did you buy the discs from a store online or locally? Problem with buying online and trying to return things is you get charged shipping, which usually adds up to a ridiculously high amount...
Have you tried other games? A few things I can think of that you can try:
- Make sure you are using the DVD disc (there should be 2 swap magic discs - DVD and CD) when loading DVD backup
- From memory swap magic has some special boot functions, give those a try
- What game are you trying to play? I know swap magic won't boot some games and you have to get a patch for it to load properly (although this applies more to the older version of swap magic, and not so much 3.6)
- Try using the swap magic disc to boot the original (of the same game) and see if it boots?

I bought it at http://www.baysoftgames.com/ps2flipcov.html.
I just don't get why it won't work. I put the dvd swap dick in wait until it says Load proram then i put the backup in but no backup i've made works. It boots the original and i am using the dvd disk. The game is Need For Speed Most Wanted.
Well thanx for your help

Ok, isn't NFSMW DVD9?? So did you burn it onto a dual layer disc, or did you rebuild the game?

Try using a good DVD-R (Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim), old PS2s (V2 is pretty old) don't like DVD+R

Hmm, ok, it'll be one of the games that swap magic doesn't support, that's why you need to use cdloader on top of swap magic... congratulations on getting it to work :)
