okay, ill start from the beginning. i have Swap Magic. but 2 days ago i sprayed air freshener and it landed on the swap magic dvd booting disc and rendered it unusable. but i still have my swap magic CD booting disc. and i remember reading a long time ago that you can like make a swap magic DVD booting disc out of a regular ps2 game but you need to have swap magic first. my question is can you do it with only the swap magic CD booting disc? and if so how can i do this? thanks for any help.

Yes you can use your Swap Magic CD to boot DVD backups.
Requirements:
A Ps2 (any will do I think).
Swap Magic CD ( I don't think the version matters, I use 3.6)
A real ps2 game DVD-5 (High TOC size is a must! Like Devil May Cry or Xenosaga 2).
CD loader (as a bootable disc).
A PS2 DVD backup game.
1. Boot the SM CD version
2. Boot CD loader
3. When CD loader appears, eject CD Loader properly (DON'T USE THE SLIDE CARD OR TOOL METHOD.)
4. Insert the real DVD PS2 game. The screen should load some numbers of the bottom like 4.37GB, when its done reading the disc.
5. Press 'X'
6. Screen will ask you, Boot EA method or something. Now you replace the game with your backup, using the Swap Magic method (I.E Slide card or slim tools).
7. Press 'X' again and the game should boot.
Its do that or buy another swap magic DVD, they are only about $24

Check the disc on your Computer, and look at the file size
You can check this list also.
