I bought a swap magic 3.6 a little over a year ago, i never have used the CD version i only use the DVD, couple weeks ago i would put the swap magic dvd in then reset the PS2, the it wouldnt read it normally so i would have to reset it sometimes 3 times so that it can read it and load it. But yesterday it loaded at the first reset but I saw the Playstation logo and it had the Playstation sound but then black screen. It just stayed there, the disc was still spinning but it wouldnt advance to the load program screen. I thought it might be the laser that was starting to die out but its not beacuse i loaded an original game and it ran fine... I cant ask for an exchange or whatever because i dont have the reciept anymore.
Edit: Sorry i also thought it was dirty so i cleaned it but still nothing.
Three options
I'm not sure if it's possible but if you make another topic you could ask can a backup of the swap disk be made (provide link to this topic also as some may think your attempting to copy someone else's disk)or just use imgburn & do it & see what happens,if it fails to read the disk see below
Take dvd to local vid store & get them to refurbish it with their machine,it works quite well on games & dvd movies
Go to or phone local store you bought it from & see if a replacement disk can be got,it would be better to deal direct with the supplier as the shop may just say you have to buy another kit to avoid a lost sale,you maybe able to get the suppliers email addy ??
