I've been using Swap Magic 3.6 for about a month now with no problems. But now, whenever I try to play a backed up PS2 game I get a "Not a valid PS2 disc" error and it doesn't load the game. This just started happening today. I was playing Madden 07 yesterday with no problems but I tried playing it again today and I tried my other backup games but I keep getting that message. I tried playing my original PS2 discs and they work fine. Do I have to clean my lens? Any help would be appreciated.

Cleaning the laser would be a good place to start, but it could be media related. Poor brands of media may work for a short time, until the quality degrades to the point where the PS2 laser can no longer read them.
Since you haven't stated what brand media these backups are on, then that can't be confirmed.

I got madden 07 to work, I used something called GameDr to clean the game. I probally need to clean my lens because it was too hard for it to read a dirty disc.
