hi, i just got monster rancher 3 im in uk so i got USA version as it was not released here. im using swap magic 3.6 but i cant wap disks (i dont mean with slide tool) to make monsters as it needs to read the disk again i was just wondering if there was a patch i could use to back up my game so it would register when i try and create a monster from an audio cd. or would i need to get a chip?

I don't know for sure with Swap Magic, but with disk swapping for PSX games you can only successfully boot games that allow you to save at the end of a disc, then boot off the next one. If you have to switch discs in mid game then you are screwed. The reason being every time you switch discs the PS2 copy protection verifes that the disc is an original, not a backup or import. So in a game like monster rancher where you switch discs often, after it reads the audio CD it will check to make sure your copy of Monster Rancher isn't imported and since it is, it wont boot. Since you can't very well reset it and use Swap Magic to boot from the title screen every time you try to create a new monster, there likely isn't a solution w/o a mod chip. There is no way I know of to boot games that require mid game swaps. I have researched this topic thoroughly and accepted the grim reality :(
