Hi, I need your help if you can kindly provide it.

I want to copy a DVD backup of X-Men Legends onto the PS2
hard drive. I mean, this is the sort of thing the HDD should
be used for: faster load times. X-Men really does need it b/
c those of you who have played it, know the pain of going to
the character status page....wait times seem like an eternity of
1 minute each time that panel is accessed. Ridiculous!!

I have an hd advance version 1.0 and a flip-top for my ps2,
plus a copy of swap magic, dvd edition.

I boot up HD Advance and choose "convert", at which HD
Advance prompts me to put in a game disk. this is where I put
in either a swap magic disk or a ps2 original game.

Afterwards, HD Advance prompts you for a name that you
want to call this game you've put into the ps2. I think this is
where you're supposed to pop open the flip-top, remove the
swap magic/original ps2 disc, and then put in the copy.


HOWEVER...

I pop the top open, and swapmagic/original is still spinning!!!
There's no way for me to conveniently grab it without
eventually incurring some damage to the lazer lens (it's pretty
bad...mine got grinded a little bit today but luckily the ps2
unit is still working).

Am I supposed to have some sort of later release of HD
Advance? The version I've got says it's....1.0 There seems to
be an indication on the PS2NFO website that suggests that I
need to created a patched copy of HD Advance which will stop
the disc from spinning when I open the flip-top case. Is that
the case or can I get away with just using my original copy of
HD Advance somehow? If I do need to patch it
(with whatever's at http://www.backup-source.com/forums/
showthread.php?threadid=7823), can somebody be more
precise in providing the basic steps from the very very start,
assuming that I'm just any person off the street who knows
nothing about copying stuff?

Thanks ahead of time if you can help. =)
