Hello! I've been trying to run games with my Swap Magic v3 (i think :S) and well it kinda works mostly accept with few games.. well for most of them i dont really care but my Smackdown vs. Raw doesnt work either... so i'm asking you all now.. what the hell could be the problem? I run Swap Magic normally, insert the DVD and press X it just says "not a valid PS2 disc" if i keep trying fora while it "boots" or whatever but then there's just a blank screen fora sec or two (just like at games that work) but then i just get thrown at the screen where you can select either you memory card or a CD/DVD... i dont know what to do, most games work though... i've triede it with 2 different DVD's ... a DVD-R from iomega(?) with 120 minutes and 4.7 capacity... i think i've burned pretty fast then cus i didnt know about the slow burning then.. so i tried it again.. made an image from this DVD and burned it on a DVD-R from matrix... same minutes and all.. burned it at 1x though :P... same effect.. i'd really need your help, if you have any idea of what's wrong here? Thanks in advance

Ok I can't stress this enough, YOU NEED GOOD MEDIA, try using taiyo yuden, verbatim and sony DVD-R 8x and burn at 4x and you should be fine.

Also, some games require rebuilding/patching, do a search on the games that are not working.
