Hey everyone, I have swap magic 3.6 and have had success with getting a few games to work. However, I've been having some problems with a few other files (swapmagic reads "not a vaide ps2 disc". For instance, when I try to play MLB 2k8. I am running Mac OSX btw. I uncompressed the .rar files with stuffit expander and revealed the iso. (This is where I get confused). Should I just put the .iso file onto a dvd, or mount the image to reveal the data inside the iso, and burn that. I've been trying a bunch of different methods, and I can't figure out which one I used on the one that does work. I have Toast 8 Titanium, if that helps.

I think I may have right-clicked on the mounted image icon, and clicked "Toast It". I would appreciate any help you could give. Most of the tutorials I have seen deal with a PC.

When dealing with MLB 2K8, I mounted the images to see the files, but it did not work. The files shown were:

SLUS_217.29
SYSTEM.CNF
VCDATA (folder)

I was wondering if I should burn this "batch" or dig deeper..

Inside the VCDATA folder is:

0
1
2
3
4
DATA (folder)

Even Deeper, Inside DATA folder lies a whole lot:

atad.irx
cnf (folder)
dev9.irx
dnas280.img
hdd.irx
iop.irx
lgaud.irx
libsd.irx
mcman.irx
mcserv.irx
mtapman.irx
net (folder)
netgui2 (folder)
padman.irx
pfs.irx
sio2man.irx
usbd.irx


Thanks again for the help. You all are helping me learn.

i don't use macs, but you're going too far. once you get the iso, burn it. do not extract the files from the iso.

ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure

got a whole lot more to list . . .

so the ps2 can read an iso, lets say MLB2K8.iso
I don't need to mount it, then burn it.

because when I put in the one dvd-r that does work into my computer, I see all of the files and folders of when the iso is mounted. But on the 2K8 game that didn't work, when I put the disc into my computer, I just see the iso file, ready to be opened.

does Toast have the option of loading a saved iso on the mac? because on the pc, we use imgburn, and it has the option to load a save iso file.

if there are any mac burning programs that can load a saved iso, use that.

I think Toast can do that, I've heard of some people creating iso's with Toast.

If I have the iso in front of me in Finder, does anyone know what steps I should do on a Mac to get it to work with swap magic? or even what software for OSX is good to do the job?
