I read this thread: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/69271

I went to http://www.swapmagicfix.com and went down to sonic heroes but there isnt anything to download? it just says "TOC" which isnt a link anyway.

what does TOC mean? do I need CDLoader/DVD Loader instead?
I have V5/6 PS2 with swap magic v3.6 slide tool

cheers guys

P.S. anyone any idea why I cant get onto www.ps2nfo.com, it says sorry the administrator banned your IP address - Ive never been on it b4!!

You need to refresh the TOC when your using Swap magic. Load up swap magic, then eject the game using the eject button and swap it with an original PS2 game that has a TOC of 4 gig or larger, then load your back up. I think thats right.

As for ps2nfo, its crap. They ban you before you even go on it.

If there are dummy files mentioned in the thread you need to remove them first.

Yeah. You need to create a text file in its place. Search for a thread on here by winning 11. Tells you how to deal with dummy files.

i backed this game up and you can replace the dummy.bin like a dummy file with notepad.just remember to name the replacement file dummy.bin.but whatever way you choose as long as you replace the file or you can refresh the toc everytime you play it but its a pain in the a$$.
