hi, I bough swap magic 3.6 and slide card a week ago, it took me a while to get use to the way the slide tool worked, but I can use it now, first i gave it a trial, I backed up Devil May Cry and burnt it to a DVD+R ( the make of the disc isent the best) i tryed it in the playstation to, done everything I was ament to do,the game booted and worked like a charm, then i backed up Ace Combat 5, burned it exactly the same way, done everything right.........."Invalid PS2 disc" appeared on the swap magic interface, i downloaded God of War 2 burnt it tryed it on the same DVD+R......dident work.......tryed to burn it again on same disc.......dident work......tryed it on a DVD+RW............dident work,
Plz help me, ive read on the forum about a different way of booting with SW...something about putting in a PS2 original game when it asks for a bigger TOC disc.
1. get some quality DVD's like Verbatim
2. You may want to try DVD-R and see if those work. I prefer the 8X speed
3. burn the ISO with IMGburn V2.1 at 4X speed
Swap Magic is just a cheap mod, some games will work, others will need to be rebuilt or patched.
could someone plz tell me about this other booting method in swap magic, the one were u insert swap magic then u insert a original PS2 game then ur backup, plz a nice detailed tutorial tellin me when to use the slide tool and when to eject using the eject button.
"some games will REQUIRE booktyping " not at all true. I have more games than i care to count and 98% of them are on 8X DVD-R and every one works. If he has a V1-V4 then he should ALWAYS use DVD-R and most PS2's prior to the V5/6 do not even read DVD+R. Not to mention the fact that some burners can not even booktype a disc in the first place.
as far as the other method of Swapping, either stick with Swap Magic and a slidecard (if you must, a fliptop would be easier) or get a reputable show who ships to your area to install a good mod chip (Matrix Infinity Green Dot, Crystal Chip V2.0 or DMS4 Pro SE).
hi, just wanted to say i finally got some DVD-R dsic, God of War 2 runs, i burnt it at 2.4x speed the music cut off and the game sometimes freezes for a split second, so i burnt the game at 4x, the thing is the disc speed is 4X max but ill try it later, i dident even have to set the video mode to NTSC, al i did just use the slide tool to insert the game and normal booted it and it ran.
