This is a cry for help !
I have bought a used playstation 2 from a good friend.
I got this:
No-Solder chip
Swapmagic 2.0 CD
Swapmagic 2.0 DVD
Swapmagic 3.0
I have burned games using Alcohol 120.
using 1x speed, and "good-quality" CD-r discs.
Those games doesnt boot up,
ALong with buying the ps2, I also got
some CD-r with games on. And they work
very well.
Some of the starts up directly after just
using swapmagic 2.0, some requires to boot
from swapmagic 3.0...
But my own games that I burn doesnt work.
I have burned cue-files onto the cd as described
above. So it shouldnt be any problem I would think.
What is happening when I try to boot games
such as Timesplitter 2, SSX3 (CD-r media)
-if only using the swapmagic 2 CD:
The Insert-disc screen will freeze, and
sometimes show a pink/red stripe at top of the
screen.
-if using the swapmagic 2 CD, and swapping it with 3.0:
Then I have tried hitting "Load Program" in both
Normal mode and special Mode. But the screen turns
red for me..
What can possibly be wrong ?
Swapmagic, should I try another burner.. ?
Is there something vital that I have missed ?
I got a game on cd-r that is on 697mb. AND IT WORKS on my playstation. It is GTA Vice City..
Strange that it doesnt work.
I have tried to get a "read-up" on "Breaker Pro"..
but the info I find says that it is used to boot ps1 games.. doesnt say anything abouting booting 632+mb games.
So can you point me in a good direction of where to find good info about the "Breaker Pro" ?
-is there a manual on how to use it as well ?
I bought my swap magic discs from http://ijustgotbannedforthis.com and they boot up all my dvd and cd based backup games.I am using a brand new satin siver ps2 PAL model.I flogged my old console because it would not read the dvd swap magic disc every time.I reckon the age or condition of your laser has a lot to do with it.If your going to experiment with different burning tools and a range of blank media,then you are better investing in a good console first.The other option is to buy a pre chipped console.Go to http://www.ispammedtheforumsandgotbanned.com and have a look at theirs.
