Hi, i've searched countless topics on tips and guides to making swap magic work but all of the tips i've tried haven't worked! i'm starting to think it might be my swap magic discs, but i'm still unsure as to whether i'm following the procedures wrong or what!

Setup:
1. Swap Magic 3.6 CD and DVD-rom driver discs
2. Flip-top cover
3. Philips DVD+/-RW SDVD8820
4. DVD-Decrypter and DVDClone for burning .iso's
5. TDK DVD-R blanks
6. Images downloaded from a torrent site
7. Images are Naruto 3 JP-NTSC, and Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles USA-NTSC

i know #5 and #6 aren't the best quality sources but thats the only thing i've got right now.

I've tried all different methods of swapping discs. i would always have to start the boot with the SM CD because if i load the SM DVD first, it wont read for some reason! So i tried loading the SM CD then Ejecting the tray and switching it with either the SM DVD or a original game (i've tried both discs), after a new message in blue at the bottom of the screen would tell me to "Insert your own program disc," in which i flip the top open and insert my backup, but that would only lead to a black screen. One thing that i've noticed is that at the bottom of the screen it says press X for normal boot and SQUARE for special boot. Unfortunately I purchased the boot discs and the flip-top as a combo and they did not provide me with instruction manuals.

Sorry for yet another redundant "help me load my backups!" thread, but there are some steps and procedures that people provide that are a bit unclear. All specific tips and guides will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
