Hi I backed up all my PS1 games on CD-Rs and used Alcohol to burn them just like the guide on this website told me to. When I use my PS emulator and boot from the CDs they work fine. However, when I came home and tried to play them on PS2 I had no luck. I used Swap Magic 3.6, tried to use the CD-ROM disc and the DVD disc. All it said was "Not a valid PS2 disc". Why is it not working?

From what I believe PS1 backup games don't work with the Swap Magic disc. I think if you have a PS1 gameshark you could do it that way, but that's the only way I have ever heard of it being possible. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You're right. You need Breaker Pro, Gameshark Lite, Gameshark Bonus disk, a MC exploit, or a modchip to boot PSX games.

Ive had the same problem too. Ive tried burning a PS1 game from an img and cue file but it doesnt play on my PS2. I've used the Nero to burn it & I did not get any errors during the burning process. Ive even tried it on the lowest speed. I also have a modded PS2 and i play all my other backed-up PS2 games on this without any problem. But this time the PS1 back-up does not play. I'm not even sure if it is even possible to play PS1 back-up on a modded PS2? Can some1 please help me. Thank you kindly.

Of course it's possible. Any decent modchip would boot PSX backups, lemme guess you have a Neo 2 or a modbo. You can you use any of the methods listed above to boot PSX backups.

My modded PS2 is back from 2004. I believe its modded with DMS3 V9 chip. Do i need to buy a software to boot up the back-up PS1 game? cause I only have an Action replay MAx for cheats.

I have swap magic 3.6 and I was wondering where I could get the files that actually boot psx games for the MC exploit. I've used 2 or 3 guides now to make one and each time I put in my psx game that triggers the exploit the screen just goes black and nothing happens.
So I was wondering if I could just be directed to the .elf files I need to boot psx backups so that I could just launch them within the swap magic program.
Or just some general guide of playing psx backups on SM would be nice too.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the advice Tokijin, but still i had no luck. FYI, Ive burned it on just an Imation CD-R. COuld that be the problem?. Should i get a better CD-R like Sony cause all of my other pS2's are backed up from Sony DVD-R.s Will that even help me? The flash upgrades sound too complicated for a noob like me. Any other advice? Sorry for all the trouble. Thanks.

The flash upgrades are easy. Download it, unzip it and you get a cue and a bin file. Burn to it CD-R using Nero, CDRWIN, or Alcohol 120% the same as you would a PSX game. Load the cue file and burn it using this guide: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/236278 Insert the disc in your PS2 and it auto boots, and just follow the on screen prompts. That's it. You can't play backups on the DMS 3 or 4 without flashing the chip. Yes Imitation CD-R's could be the problem. All Imitation products are horrible, avoid them at all costs. Use Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Sony, TDK, or Maxell CD-Rs.

I believe you can only boot PSX backups using the exploit on a V9 PS2. I've tried the same thing as you, all PSX backups hang on the SCEA/PS logo screen. It's OK though, my PS1 bonus Gameshark CD will be here tomorrow.

You can definitely boot them with a DMS 3, regardless what v. PS2 you have. As far as the exploit, I agree with you.

Thanks a bunch Tokijin..I was finally able to load the CD1 of FF7 when i switched to a difefrent brand of cd -->Memorex, which i know is crappy too. It worked using the PSX mode you've advised & I totally forgot about that loading since i have never played PS1 before. I've tested it on the first CD only and when i tried to used another MEmorex CD to duplicate another one, it didnt worked. I've got like 10 coasters from those crapppy CD's. I guess i really have to buy the good quality CD'S then. Just two more last questions, do i need a seperate "PS One memory card" to save the game or PS2 memory card will work fine? Also does FF7 has audio or background sound at all? I'm not sure if the burning was good or not. The slowest speed i can burn on my CD-R using Nero is 8X. It does not let me burn it any slower than that or just dont know how to do it. Thank you kindly for all the help ^_^

Well I got to where I am now by backing up around 60 PSX games, I've had a TON of coasters in the process. It takes practice. I use Memorex CD-R's as well. They do suck, but they've always worked for me. Yes you need a seperate PSX memory card to save PSX games, a PS2 memory card won't work. I recommend you pick up an official Sony card, they have no compatiblity issues, unlike some 3rd party MC's. Maybe your burner won't burn slower than 8x. Try using Alcohol or CloneCD and see if they'll let you select 4x.
