I can not get a successful back up of MGS3. I am using all the same tactics that I have before (last back-up'd disk= San Andrea's) for back-ups. Using a Mac with toast. I have a version 2.0 DVD swap magic disk. what could be different, might I need a new swap magic disk? Any help??

fliptop, swapmagic dvd ver. 2.0, cd-r ver. 3.2

I used DVD Decrypter to read and write and swap it with a swap magic 2.0. Game runs great. Don't know maybe your swap disc did get scratched or something.

His first post mentioned Toast. Disc Copy is the name for a volume copy in Toast.

I've tried Retek and Optodisc, neither work. Optodisc won't even boot, and the Retek gets a "Cannot read the disc" error when CJ leaves his house (the first thing that occurs once a game is loaded).

when he said disk copy, it mean mount the .img or .iso to virtual drive, then use alcohol or nero to copy the cd

Well after several failures with Ritek and Optodisc media (both DVD-R) I bought some TDK DVD+R media and tried it out. Loading was a bit slow but it actually worked this time. Sounds like media does make a difference...

I had no problem with ritek's... but the online patch does not work. I guess I'm going to have to pull my original out of the closet when I want to get camoflauge.
