I have just got a Lego Starwars game (Brothers crazy over it!), a "back-up" and I have Swap Magic, now, my friend gave me a copy.

I just wanted to know on any advice. I am getting a flip top cover, but for the time being, I'm using a hacksaw blade to open it. It works fine. Just, I'll probably do this tomorrow, I wanted advice.

I have PCLine DVD's (I think) and some Mr DVD, seeing as it's my first try, I'l use them,
-or-
Seeing as the .iso is only about 550mb's, a CD will be fine, right?
I have some nice expensive Sony CD's spare.

So, any advice? Like as in:

What burning software should I use? Nero, Alcohol, DVD Decripter, or what?

What should I use, A CD ir a DVD?

I have a PAL PS2, and the game is NTSC, it'll be fine with SMagic, correct?

And lastly, I just wanna thank you guys for helping!

Death, it is your destiny!

DVD Decrypter is best and easiest to use.

Use a CD for anything 700MB or less in size and DVD for anything bigger than that. Note: DVD Double Layers don't work for backing up double-layer games.

Yes.

if its an .iso,and you got the game off the "net",then some dumbass has used the wrong software to rip the image with

cd images should not be .iso extension,as its the wrong mode

load in the image in DVD Decrypter,and before you burn it,check where it says "sectors",if its says mode1,then it wont boot
