Okay, I have swap magic 3.6. I am fairly sure that the slim tools were inserted correctly. The CD and DVD versions of swap magic 3.6 load up just fine, but in this case, I need DVD Swap Magic 3.6. So lets get started....

I have a burned copy of Guitar Hero 2 on a SONY DVD-R 1x-16x speed.
I burned it on 1x speed on the software known as "DVD Decrypter".
When I attempt to switch the discs, it takes a good half-second to load, and as a result, comes up with "Not a Valid PS2 Disc". So you can imigen how pissed I was. Then I tried to switch discs with an original copy of Guitar Hero 2. Guess what?
"Not a Valid PS2 Disc".
I am a serious noob to this forum, so it you un-noobs would be so kind to help me, that would be most appreciated.
Help a noob?

also, I have a slim ps2.

Oh oh I just tried something.
I just re-tried to play the burned game, and of course it said "Not a Valid Ps2 Disc".
Then... get this...
I put the swap magic dvd 3.6 back into my ps2... and it said...
"Not a Valid PS2 Disc"
Now I am really starting to think that it is the swap magic 3.6 I bought.

Ok, I tried something else now.

When I start up swap magic, and when I switch discs, it says "not a valid ps2 disc". Ok that all dandy but...
Right after I switch the disc and shut the lid, I immediately hit "X".
And it works. Who knew?
But the thing is, it only works with original games, not burned ones.
And I have 2 burned copies of guitar hero 2. One burned at 8x speed, and one burned at 1x speed.
Neither work.
Please help.

I figured out what the problem was. Its my slim tool. Its a slim tool version that is not frequently used by many people.
