Watch the introduction file for the below post.
All you need is microsoft powerpoint or powerpoint viewer (don't worry no clicking it's a mini video) and something that will open zip files like Winzip
Download the viewer at http://snipurl.com/2fz9 then open the attached file at the bottom of this page click the file and your new viewer will do the rest.

With the help of jack, shalafi, and a couple others I've been able to compose a list of all the methods for booting without a modchip from easiest to hardest. some of the easier methods won't work with all backups. I suggest trying all methods whether CDr or DVDr and the first one that works is the easiest method for that backup.(big time saver)

* CDr Boot Method #1 *

1. insert SwapMagic 3.0 CD
2. Once loaded replace the SwapMagic with your CDr by using the SlideCard/FlipTop trick and press x
3. Your CDr backup will boot on your PS2.

* CDr Boot Method #2 *

1. Insert SwapMagic 3.0 CD
2. Once loaded replace the SwapMagic 3.0 CD with the CDLoader by using the SlideCard/FlipTop trick and press x
3. Once loaded, replace the CDLoader with your CDr backup and press x
4. Your CDr backup will boot on your PS2.

* CDr Boot Method #3 *

1. insert the swap magic cd
2. Once the Swap magic cd has loaded do the following...
3. Swap the swap magic cd with the cdloader using SlideCard/FlipTop trick
4. Once the cdloader has loaded press eject and swap the cdloader with the swap magic cd and press eject to close.
5. Wait about 7 seconds and swap the swap magic cd with your cd-r backup and press x.
6. Your backup will now load.

* CDr Boot Method #4 *(for CDr DVD-rips)

1. Insert SwapMagic 3.0 CD(If it doesn't work use SM-DVD)
2. Once loaded Press Eject and replace with HDAvance CD press Eject (tray closes)
5. Wait for the refresh of your TV-screen (it'll probably say "not a valid ps2 disc" or somethin'... doesn't really matter)
6. Swap in CDr using the SlideCard/FlipTop trick and press x
7. your CDr boots

* CDr Boot Method #5 * (for CDr DVD-rips)

1. Insert SwapMagic 3.0 CD (If it doesn't work use SM-DVD)
2. Once loaded replace SwapMagic CD with CDLoader using SlideCard/FlipTop trick
3. Once loaded press eject and replace with HD Advance 2.0 CD
4. Once loaded replace HD with Dvd-rip (cd-r) and press x
5. Game loads.

* CDr Boot Method #6 *(with GS codes enabled)

1. Insert and let Gameshark V3/4 boot
2. Select the codes you want/if none skip this step
3. Select Start Game
4. The cd/dvd drive will now eject automatically.
5. Replace the Gameshark 2 V3/4 with the swap magic cd.
Once you have made the appropriate swap press eject to close the cd/dvd drive and press x.

11. Once the screen that says "swap dvdr by ea method" comes up swap the high toc original(swap magic DVD) with your dvd-r backup using SlideCard/FlipTop trick and press x.
12. Your backup will now load with cheats.

Notes: In Method 4 of DVDr Boot Method(with GS codes enabled) and 6 in CDr Boot Method(with GS codes enabled), if you have a version 9/10 and not a version 1-8 swap the swap magic cd with the DVDLoader not cdloader using SlideCard/FlipTop trick
and you can buy the fliptop cover for the PS2 it's not needed but quicker and easier then the SlideCard trick.

P.S. If anybody knows of another method please let me know.THANX
