Hi, I'm looking for some help on backing up some PS2 DVD Roms. I installed Magic Swap 3 w/fliptop lip on my PS2 Slim. I downloaded DVD Decrypter insert "Winning Eleven 7" DVD Rom in my DVD Burner, clicked (ISO> Read R), it put a image in my harddrive, then I clicked (ISO> Write W) on 4X and it burned a backup of Winning Eleven 7. I put in the Magic Swap DVD Disc in my PS2, when it loaded up to the (Load Program: Video Mode:Normal) screen, I open the lid and replace the Magic Swap Disc with the "Winning Eleven &" Backup DVD, and push X. The screen says it"Not a valid PS2 disc".

1.)What am I doing wrong?
2.)Did I install the fliptop lid wrong? because when I leave open the flip lid and run an original PS2 game, the game doesn't start it goes to browse and I can search my memory card only, like as if the PS2 knows the lid is open. I though the fliptop lid was to prevent the PS2 knowing that you are opening the lid to swap out the disc?
3.)The read process of Decrypter made 2 file in my harddrive, a 5kb MDS file and a 3,451,168kb Winrar file. Do I need to extract the Winrar file? before I burn the back up, I just select the 5kb MDS file during the write process, is that the correct choice?

I was having the same problem,make sure the disc isnt getting caught on the side of the top a little bit when you put it in.

Also,what Media are you using.

And you cant leave open the lid and run a game,the disc wont spin if its open because the white peice that holds the disc down isnt on it.
