Hi,

I have a slimline v12 ps2 with swap magic 3.6 and it plays CD backups fine, but whatever media I use for DVD backups, it crashes. Sometimes it is straight away and others after 10-15 mins. please help because it is reeealy annoying!!

Thanks

Oliver

OK, i know this is a dum question.
But you are using the DVD version of Swap Magic to load the
games right? not the CD version.
Ritek 8X DVD's burned with DVD Decrypter at 4X should work just fine.
have you looked on the net to see if there are any firmware
updates for your burner?

Since you have a newer PS2 I would give DVD+Rs a shot.
