so all want in life, what all young american boys want is to play free ps2 games.

ive been trying to conqeur this dream the past few weeks, im so close yet so stumped, please help

heres what ive got

mac ibook

equiped with : toast 6: RAR expander : bitTorrent
8 x dvd+/- r's : 52x cd-r's

ps2 SLIM v12-v14? one of the two

swapmagic 3

magic keys 2

two games copied directly in toast 6
and a few downloaded games in rar form expanded to iso

im not sure if im burning the disc correctly.
ivetried doing in iso , image, multitrack, everything.

im also not sure if im using swap magic properly.
correct me if im wrong, but i insert swap magic, bring it to the load game screen, open lid to activate "insert toc" swap "swapmagic " for high toc ps2 game. close lid.

ive got that far

at what point do swap the ps2 disc for the backup disc?
right after closing? after its run for awhile? hit load game then swap? im not sure. perhaps my discs work but im not loading properly.

in anycase, if someone has any advice or knows what i should do. for the love of the american dream please help me!!

help me acomplish this goal & i will personally send you awesome shit in the mail. like photos of my mother and sisters new breast implants, youll love it.
but seriously, im desperate.

love, Mr.Free of the Satellite Freakout!

This means the ps2 knows you opened it, which in turn means, the magic keys are not installed correctly.

right.
see i read somewhere that you need that "insert toc" screen to appear. so that you can insert one then swap. ( is this true?)

so i made my third key loose. so if i pull it up it thinks its open but press down it will stick and continue to think its closed.

but i only did this because im still confused on how i should be going about it.
im starting to think that my back ups arn't incorrectly burned as i was suspecting , but that im just clueless with swap magic. perhaps both tho. help.

A handful of games require this step, but most (probably 95%) do not need this step.
