I have searched the forums a bit now and have come up with little that has helped me with booting a back-up of this game. I have a v4 ps2 with flip-top. I backed up using decrypter burned at 2x (slowest i can go w/ my burner) on taiyo yuden dvd-r. On swapmagicfix it says to use cdloader v7all and option 5v3 NO PN. I have tried that several times. I have used cdloader w/ other dvd backups (a couple of the ratchet and clanks). I read on one posting that you are supposed to use dvd loader, but when trying that it would not read dvd loader, am I doing this right or did I miss something? Any help would be much appreciated.. thanx.
Well again, I figured it out myself with trial and error. If anyone else is having problems booting: I used swap magic dvd, then dvd loader v7all and 5v3 no pn option, then swap magic dvd again and then the copy. Mine worked on ridata +r 4x.
Seems I may spoken too soon, it freezes when loading single player, not making it past the 'o' in pandora. I read about someone else having this problem, if anyone has found out what to do help would be appreciated.
