When you play an original game, your PS2 recognizes it because it is an original PS2 disc. When you burn a game, and put it into your PS2, the PS2 knows you burned it, and knows it is not the original, it will not play it! So you need to trick the PS2. You can do this with the help of swap magic discs. Swap magic discs trick the PS2. You can get a flip top cover, along with the swap magic discs to trick the PS2. You have to install the flip top cover first. When you do so, there is a flip top on top, where u put your discs in, just like PS1. First of all, you need to know whether your game is a CD or DVD. Look at the bottom of the disc; if its purple, it?s a CD, if it?s silver, it?s a DVD. To burn the game, go to this link: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/121556 After you have burned the game, please do the following: Since you have already installed the flip top cover, open the flip top disc tray on the top and place the swap magic disc in. If your game is a DVD, put in the DVD version of the swap magic, and if it?s a CD version, put in the CD version of the swap magic. Press reset. On your screen you will see "insert disc" open the flip top tray and take out the swap magic disc, and put in your burned game. Hit ?X? on your controller and your game will load. You are ready to play!! You have to buy the flip top cover and swap magic discs online, together they are 40 dollars.
