I have owned swap magic for about a year and never had a problem, have backed up about 30 games flawlessly. Two days ago i got swap magic (same version) for my sisters ps2. Both our ps2's are the same model slimline. I backed up about 5 five games for her and tested them on my ps2 and all worked fine, then gave them to her and they ran fine with her ps2 and disk, went to try in my ps2 today with my disk and none of the games i copied for her worked. Some booted but didn't load, others came up with "Not a valid ps2 disk", so i tried on my ps2 with her swap magic disk and same results, tried in her ps2 again all worked fine with either disk. Tried some of my old backups and in my ps2 and all worked fine with both swap magic disks. Have been playing around with different combinations for hours, including my recently rebuilt God of War Backup which loads sometimes with my ps2 and her disk but only sometimes with that combination. Other times it boots but doesn't load. I'm very confused and would appreciate some help please!

I used this method here. The tools can not be found on the backuptools website it is gone. Instead go here. You have to sign up first, then go to the downloads then ps2tools and find them there.
