OK ive been using a Gameshark Lite to boot my PSX backups. Ive been playing Parasite Eve and it gets to where I need to insert disc 2 so I thought i'd use my slide tool and swap them out but it just sits there and does nothing, then I tried pressing the eject button and putting in the 2nd disc and it says checking disc, and then says wrong disc.
So my question is how do I swap out for the second disc?

hmmm..... now you've relly got me wondering.... I might just have to try it... I have a flip top , and I've got an idea.... Perhaps when it says insert disc I could put swap magic in, and wait about 45 seconds then hot-swap (with the disc still spinning) I know it sound kinda stupid, but I just might work, That's what I have to do with PS2 infones and info Gameboy to get them to work....Also I've noticed that not all mod-chips support multi-disc games....another idea I had is maybe you could insert the second disc right before you are prompted to.... I would really like to figure this one out because I have quite a few multi disc games myself.......

i cant seem to figure out anything. im using the GameShark Lite to boot my backup PSX games. but when you put in the the next disc is says "checking disc" then says "wrong disc" with disc2,or maybe if i put in the GS Lite and slide out the GS Lite when it says checking disc and put in disc2, or maybe before i go onto the next screen switch out disc1 for disc2.
Im not sure if anybody can help all my thanx to ya

the only thing i said before is use Alcohol 120% set the datatype to playstation and change the RAW/SAO to DAO/SAO and set it at the lowest wright speed possible, or instead of changing it to DAO/SAO leave it at RAW/SAO and just check the rectify the sub-chanel data. Or maybe try CloneCD
Back to Parasite Eve. I hope to figure this out soon its been along time since ive beaten it.
Thanx and congrats to whoever can help me out.

Hey hedmunky.... I'm still not to disc 2 yet but I've found another web page about 2 disc psx games......it is for ps1 but it mught work on ps2.... Playing Multi-Disc Games:
If you are playing a game that has multiple discs, going from one disc
to another may poise a problem. However, you'll need to take the
following steps to go from one disc to another.
Once you reach the end of a disc, or need to go to another disc, on every
game, you will get a screen that tells you what disc you need to insert.
If you have the lid open, you'll notice that the game is stopped. At this
point, remove the import while the lid button is still depressed. Insert
an original US black disc (or an original disc for whatever region you
are in).
Note: Most games will allow you to save before continuing. You can
completely ignore this swapping step by saving your game and then
loading the next disc with the GS. That is the easiermethod, but this
method is fairly simple once you get it right, and much more convenient.
You should know that the PlayStation has two speeds - 2x and 4x. 4x is
the faster speed, which is the speed of the disc when game data is being
loaded. 2x is the slower speed that usually runs normally once loading
has finished.
The next steps need to be done quickly and carefully. Once the original
disc is in, gently lift up the spring or whatever is holding the rear
button down. Put it back in its place again. This will create the effect
that the lid has been opened and closed, and that the game has been
replaced. Once you press the button again, the disc will spin at 2x
speed, as it is verifying that an original black PSX disc with correct
region code is inserted. It will remain at 2x for a few seconds, and
then switch to 4x to load the game. As soon as the disc speeds up,
carefully pop out the spinning original disc. Have the next import disc
ready. As soon as the original disc is out, replace it with the import
disc. The PSX's turntable (black disc spinner) will probably stop
briefly, thinking it has skipped. It will then spin again at 4x, loading
the next disc.
Caution: Be sure that you are gentle when removing the disc. Do not force
the turntable to stop. If you do, there is a possibility that you can
break your turntable. I have never had this happen, but I have heard that
others have done it by accident. Instead, pop the disc out from
underneath, so that you do no not abruptly stop it from spinning. As
always, be careful not to touch the laser in the process.
IV. How does it work?
To understand how this trick works, you must first understand what's
going on inside your PlayStation when you start it and the "Sony Computer
Entertainment" screen and the "PlayStation" screen shows up when you
start your console. Those screens aren't there to waste your time.
When these screens appear, the PSX performs two important checks: That
there is a black original PlayStation disc inserted and that the disc is
in the right country format for the machine, i.e. NTSC J (Japan and
Asia), NTSC U/C (North America), or PAL (Europe and Australia).
When you use a peripheral such as a Game Shark, it skips the opening
screens and therefore must perform the opening checks on its own.
When you first insert the US black disc, and command the GS to read the
disc, the PlayStation receives the information it needs: official disc
and correct country. By having the lid sensor pressed continuously, the
PlayStation thinks that the lid is closed constantly. When you go to swap
the discs in the Music section, the PSX thinks that the same disc is
inserted, and therefore loads the game thinking it is an original
American disc. Man this issue is relly getting to me ...I was dreaming about Aya Brea.....

Well unfortunatly I dont have a flip-top. Im using a slide card with my PS2. So if you can explain how to do this without a flip-top that would be great.

Man! I got the gate key off of the renta-cop then...insert disc 2...I messed around with disc 2 for over 2hours last night with still no luck...a friend of mine has a mod chip , so I took the discs and my PS1 memory card over there and it worked...I tried switching while the disc was still spinning, Game Shark, Breaker Pro...no luck. See alot of other PS1 games let you save then tell you to insert disc 2 then press X....I don't know what else to try...but I'll keep ypu posted IF I ever figure this out...There's gotta be a way.........

I wonder if there is a way you could burn both discs onto a single DVD and then you wouldn't have to swap them out...
Dunno if it's possible but just something to look into...
Loading a PSX dvd would probably be the problem...
