I recently purchased a flip top for my version 9 ps2 and attempted to burn dvds several different ways, every time coming up with the same problem: the swap magic was saying "not a valid ps2 disc" at the load screen. Now, I have been burning with DVD Decrypter and I even tried a 1:1 record with Nero, both times getting nothing. I am using Memorex DVD-r's. Does anyone know anything else I could be doing wrong?
Yeah I'm using the Flip top and swap magic is getting to the "load program" screen. BUt from there it says my backups are not valid ps2 discs. Now, with my 1:1 copy that i did with Nero i can load it if i use the CD swap magic disc, do a TOC refresh with a higher TOC disc, and throw in the backup. Could there be a problem with my swap DVD disc?
And also, does anyone know how i can play burned movies on my ps2 as well? I burned several movies to FujiFilm DVD+R's using DVD Decrypter. They work fine on my computer but dont work at all on my swap magic, even with a TOC refresh. Is it common to have to use a TOC refresh every time you want to load burned games/movies with swap magic?
Alright, if i use better discs like verbatims or sonys, will that allow me to then not do a stupid TOC refresh every time i want to boot my backups? Also, is it better to burn with DVD Decrypter or a straight copy with Nero?
