Hi, I see a few folks here have had luck burning a couple games that I am haveing problems with . Imade backups of "Mercanaries" and "Terminator the Redemtion", the beginning of both games work, but when it gets to the final load, right before you can actually play the game, it stops loading and just sits there.
I thought it was a bad burn with Nero, so then I burned them both again with DVDdecrypter, and still same results.
I am using swapmagic version 3.6. Have been burning on 2x, and using Maxell DVD-R's, which works well for playing movies on the PS2, and a couple other backups work fine as well.
I have looked over the site, that have the fixes, but then read somewhere that you shouldn't need them if using swap magic 3.6.
Also, how do I tell what PS2 version I have? All I see on the back is the model number SCPH-30001 R, but nothing about version.
There must be one or two details I'm missing here, can anyone help?
Thanks
Thank you for all your informative replies to which nobody answered!
For anyone that was paying attention to my question, the answer was the media, I had to use DVD+R's. I recently backed-up the Fight Night 2004 that I asked about and the new Warriors game with no problem. By the way, some of you need to search more before saying that you've read this and that and still don't have a clue.
Ok, so I am no newbie to backing up my games. I use swap magic 3.6, and I have working copies of some pretty difficult titles like Gran Turismo 4. I know basically what I need to do to back up my Shadow of Rome disc, but for the life of me I cannot find the patch for the stupid game. I know about the dummy file contained in this ISO, but that?s not all that?s keeping the game from working. Other then Matrix Path of Neo this is the only game I cannot crack. Path of neo tends to freeze right at the intro screen where the code is falling. If anyone has any info on these titles please let me know? I have the originals so I'm not totally out of luck, but like all the others I would like to back up these titles. Thanks everyone
Anyone tried the new Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2? For some reason, when I try to boot it with SMv3.6 the laser is not reading it right. Maybe it's one of those large TOC disc & I need to use Cogswap or a bigger TOC game to boot it?
It's not listed on www.swapmagicfix.com, so it should just be a straight burn. Have you tried rebuilding it? What type of media did you use and at what speed did you burn?
I'm trying to backup Shadow Of Rome. I got the iso file using DVD Decrypter and the I used ISO buster to rebuild the file to another folder. I also open a text file and changed the DUMMY.BIN file. Nothing has worked so far. Can anyone help me.
