I Created an independence installer cd with cog swap loader installed onto it , the installation went fine now when i put in my trigger disk it all loads fine and the cog swap load screen comes up, although it wil not let me boot ps2 dvd back ups , why?. Is there something im missing
Are you "swapping" your trigger disk with your backup, then booting using cogswaploader? Because you can't use the eject button with cogswap. You have to swap.
Yeah I know. I used the exploit until recently. Whenever I wanted to boot backups, I always used cdloader not cogswap.
Try this, when you want to boot your dvd backup, push eject and put in a high TOC ORIGINAL PS2 game(high TOC such as GTA:SA or Vice City. Wait for it to read. Then use the swap trick and swap that PS2 game with your backup. Then go. That's how cogswap works if I remember right.
thats what im doing ,when the screen boots up i insert gta vice city and push eject, the ps2 then detects its a ps2 dvd rom and i switch it through my fliptop and insert my back up and it doesnt work
Try using cdloader instead of cogswaploader. You can get it here http://console.iscentral.net/index.php?go=downloads&cat=6 . Scroll down it's "CD Loader 7.5". It's usage is basically the same as cogswaploader, you start cdloader, eject, insert original high TOC games, let it read that for a few seconds, swap that with your backup, and go. I've had better luck with cdloader then cogswap, myself.
