situation: broken original ps2 game (import).

hello .. about 3 weeks ago, i purchased a copy of an import ps2 game "naruto shippuden". the game worked fine with my swap magic 3.6 just as my other import games. but about a week ago, my game was broken by kids who thought it was frizbee.

not wanting to pay another 50+ bucks yet again, i came across its backup file online (in iso format; size rougly 2.3 gigs). so i used nero to burn that iso file into a "DVD+R RW MAXELL" disk as data.

after burning, i used my swap 3.6 then inserted the game (ive been using swap for more than a year so i rule out my technique). then i came across a note saying "NOT A VALID PS2 DISK" and when i eject the game it says "INSERT BIGGER TOC DISK".

Also when i burned the iso file, i left out a DAT file that came along the iso file (so there were 2 files).

after reading numerous threads i thought about possible problems:

(media problem ; bad file ; didnt include the DAT file ; need to include dummy files)

pls help, thanks for the input.

im sorry if this post is in the wrong section.

Hmm, you saying there were 2 files, the .iso file and then a DAT file outside of the iso?

That's very odd. Typically how it works is you burn the .iso at half the max speed of the dvd, and if everything goes right, it works.

I have a fat ps2, I use both dvd-r and dvd+r with SM3.6 and everything works fine.

See if the naruto game is on the 2007 backup list, if its not, lets see how we can get this game to work so I can update the list accordingly.
