i used the link you gave,it was pretty straight forward
downloaded ps2cdgen and the emulator
downloaded 10 roms,(left them zipped up)
entered the names in the ROM folder i made,in CAPS,minus the .rar extension
changed the LBA as instructed
loaded all the files into ps2cdgen/made the image and then burnt the image with Alcohol 120 in ps2 mode onto a cd disk @ x 4
i have a modchip
i am not entirely sure whether these emulators are bootable with swapmagic to be honest,that might be your problem

thanks for the info!
havent tried burning with alcohol, in "PS2 mode".
perhaps I will try (if I can locate the app).
can you see if it works on a DVD+R as well?
I cant run CD's as my CD swap disc doesnt load.
That could be the problem too.
wondering if anyone with DVD swap disc got mame with ps2 to work?

ok i cleaned the ps2 lens, and now i am able to boot to swapmagic CD.
However still can not get the mame disc to play.
The Swapmagic boot screen says "Not a valid PS2 disc".
:-(

for CJ420
here what programs you need
*ps2mame emulators
*cdgenps2
*nero burning rom
*make a folder call Roms and place all mame roms files inside.
*edit the gamelist.txt file with notepad and list, one after the other, the names of your ROM files minus the extension. Make sure to use CAPS
*install and load CDGenPS2. Drag the contents of your PS2Mame folder into the right-hand window of CDGenPS2
*Right click on the file system.cnf you just copied into CDGenPS2. Select (edit) and a dialog box will pop up
*Tick the "Set LBA" box and enter "12231" as the LBA
*CDGenPS2 automatically sets the LBA on the other files for you
*Click the "IMG" button in CDGenPS2. Select a filename and location to save the CD image file to
open up Nero burning rom
*a wizard will pop up and say new compilation close it
*under Recorder on top select Burn Image
*look for the file call imagen
*once you find it burn it on a cd-r
that it use your swap magic cd ver. or modchip to load it

for CJ420 I don't know if burning it on a dvd+-r will work but if you want to try following the guide
here what programs you need
*ps2mame emulators
*nero burning rom
*unzip the PS2Mame
*make a folder call Roms and place all mame roms files inside
*edit the gamelist.txt file with notepad and list, one after the other, the names of your ROM files minus the extension. Make sure to use CAPS
open up Nero burning rom
here are the settings for a dvd
*DVD-Rom(UDF/ISO) not the DVD-Rom(ISO)
*ISO
File name length:Max of 31 chars(ISO level 2)
Formant:Mode 1
Character set: ISO9660 (standing ISO Cd-rom)
*Burn
make the speed at least 1x or 4x when your done click New
ok it time to drag the files you need here the list you should have on the left side
*Roms
*Gamelist
*Ps2mame.elf
*Sjpcm.irx
*System.cnf
*ps2mame.nfo
Once you have them all burn it and use swap magic dvd ver. or modchip to load it

for K_Arnold
I done it already and it works fine with swap magic cd ver. I don't know about burning it on a DVD-R and using swap magic dvd ver. I haven't try it yet.

the end
thanks for the walkthru
it seems I have followed all those steps
created the ROM folder
edited the gamelist.txt file, all caps, no extensions
dragged the folders to the CDGenPS2 app
set the LBA
created image
(may have these steps memorized by now)
I've burned with 4 different programs.
Roxio CD copy, DVD Decrypter, Nero, and Alcohol 120 (PS2 mode)
Ive tried both CD-R and DVD+R.
In the Nero program that most recommend, I can not find where to set the specific options (file structure, level, character set). I did use the burn from ISO option. Maybe I have to use "Make Data Disk"?
so far 5 discs that are only coasters now.
using Swap magic vers. 3.6
not sure what else I need to check to troubleshoot
, read something abotut the order of the files before the ISO is created..
still stumped...

After the drag, I arranged them in the same order as found on this page:
http://www.richpsx.com/playstation2/utilities/ps2mame.html
should I drag to window one at a time? would that matter?
this also was the case:
there was no "SET LBA", it was shown as "FIX LBA"
after the system LBA was changed the others changed on their own (which is normal)
AND the system file had an asterisk * next to it.
It is Nero express, I believe.
But shouldnt Alcohol work too?

it should be this order,dragged in one at a time
cdgenps2
roms
systemcnf
gamelist
elf file
sjpcmirx
and fix lba is the same as set lba,(that must have a typo error by the tutorial maker)
i think your problem might be that your using swapmagic
cheers!!

Swap Magic has nothing to do with it. Swap Magic plays next to everything that modchips do. And that includes full support for emulators.
Chances are, it's the way it's being compiled, the media it's being burnt onto, or the laser inside the system.

hello
not sure i agree with you there,swapmagic is known for not booting emu's very well,especially as its on cd disk.
they dont boot games with multiple elf files
you could try putting on dvd disk,but you need to patch the elf file to dvd first.
then compile the image with cd/dvd gen.
lets see if he got the right order first
cheers!

MAME, PGEN, ItMightBeNes, and SNES Station all work perfect for me on CD. True the laser lens is a little stressed out when CDs are used, but they play perfectly for me and I'm running v 3.3 with a new laser.

you did everything correct for the cdgenps2 part you should have two files you made (Imagen files and Imagen bin file)
if you using Alcohol 120% here how you do it
*open up alcohol 120%
*on the left side it should say Image Burning Wizard click that one
*select an image file you would like to record so click Browse and find the file call imagen once you find it click on next
*on write speed lower the speed down to 4x
*on write method pick DAO/SAO
*on the bottom Datatype pick Customize
*once your done click Start and that it

yep thats how i burned with alcohol
it even has a PS2 mode which makes those settings for you
are there various versions of ps2mame and cdgenps2?
maybe i am using an older version.
just a thought.
my disc only has 12 roms on it. The image file is very small.
Each time in the boot loader it says "Not a valid ps2 disc"
i used the ISO option in cdgenps2
havent tried with bin format yet.

hey if someone wants to PM me their email i will send the actual iso. that might help to narrow it down, whether it is the iso file or the burning menthod, or disc.
i am going to try an alternate cd media next.
thanks

hello
when you click on the image button,it should have made a bin and cue file
you burn the cue with alcohol120,or if you havent got that,burn the bin image with dvd decrypter
cheers!!!
