I found out that my dvd writer doesn't work with dvd-r media. I have researched and philips say that updates will never be created for some issues.

I already bought swap magic though. (it only works with dvd-r or cd-r media) Is there anyway I can get a different writer on my computer? I need to be able to burn dvd-r disks. Please help me.
Thanks

to install the hardest part is figuring out how to open the case, and which cable it plugs into.

or go the external route with USB/Firewire case (its a bit more expensive) but you dont have to open the case

Q: Will Swap Magic work with DVD+R backups?
A:You can use either DVD+ or DVD- disc for your backup

its not swap magic that doesnt like dvd+r, its old ps2's. What version is yours??
And +r can be booktyped to DVD-Rom to improve compatability

if you already have the media, and the burner, then try one, but use a game that doesnt need patching or anything to boot with swap magic (so you know its not the patch that is stopping it)
Booksetting can be done in DVD Decrypter by clicking the book next to write speed (but it is only for selected drives)
It can also be done in nero

Well you could get the pioneer 108 off pricewatch for about 60$ i believe. I havent checked lately, but thats the price i paid for it a couple months back. Also, I guess I am weird, because I have like a v4 ps2, and yet it doesnt like -r media, so I only use +r
