Hi guys! I have a question: I'm trying to run ps2 cd backups on my ps2 which has cdloader, swapmagic and cogswap available to it. I have backed up like 2 or 3 cds that work and have coastered a bunch more that either gave me a black screen or a red screen. The ToC disc i'm using is Way of the Samurai.

Now, I'm guessing the games that run are either the same size or under the ToC of WotS. Is there another game easy to find that has a big CD ToC size? Can you recommend any? What are my other options?

PS: I tried converting to dvd but no dice either.

What can I do?

Well I am not sure the disc size of "Way of the Samurai", but you could put it in your pc drive and check in "MyComputer" to see

You are correct in that the the TOC refresh disk needs to be larger or same size as the backup you wish to play.

I am not sure otherwise what you can do if they don't work converted from CD to DVD, except try and find the largest original PS2 CD you have.

You can always count on smoky to answer us noobs's question! Seriously smoky you are just everywhere man. I commend you sir for providing the help around here.

Back on topic....I tried burning different images on cd and those seem to work, so my guess is that the files I burned previously were corrupted or something. Is that possible? Bad image?

Hey Sashiel, and commend me "ma'am" lol. I am female, sorry.

But hey if I am here, I will try to answer.

Yes it is possible to have bad images or rips as one says.

I have come across a few myself.
