Well i got most of the info from swapmagicfix.com but here it is
1) Determine if your original factory-pressed PS2 game disc is a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM by looking on the package OR disc label. If it is a CD-based game,
follow the instructions HERE http://www.megagames.com/ps2/files/spoon-fed_ps2_backup_tutorial.zip for making a back-up image of it on your PC's HDD. If it is a DVD-based game, then download and install DVD Decrypter.
NOTE: If you made a CD-ROM back-up image, go directly to Step #3 below. If you are making a DVD-ROM back-up image then proceed to Step #2.
2) Once DVD Decrypter is installed on your PC, insert your original PS2 DVD-ROM game disc into your DVD reader drive and open the DVD Decrypter
application. Next, select MODE->iSO->READ, select a Destination on your Hard Disk Drive and a File Name for your .iSO image, and then click the
Decrypt Button below. Assuming you have enough free space on your NTFS-formatted HDD, your PS2 DVD .iSO image will be made in several minutes!
3) Now that your PS2 game back-up image is made, you'll need to download the GCC Disc ID Utility and burn it to a CDR as detailed HERE. Once burned,
load it using either the Memory Card Exploit, by using your pressed (original) Swap Magic CD disc, or via soldered PS2 mod-chip. Once the Disc ID Utility
is loaded on your PS2 console, follow these three steps and record (on paper) in this format the Disc ID: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX that appears on your screen.
NOTE: Using the Disc ID Utility on back-up discs will generate random useless ID numbers... only original pressed PS2 game discs will provide valid Disc IDs.
4) Once you have obtained a valid Disc ID, download and install iSOBuster on your PC. Next, open the PS2 game back-up image you made earlier using
by selecting File->Open Image File in iSOBuster and selecting your .iSO image. Navigate through the directories in the left-hand margin for ALL of the
DNASXXX.IMG files and right-click on them and select Extract for each- this will copy them to a selected directory on your PC's HDD.
5) Now that you have all of the DNASXXX.IMG files extracted from your game image, download the Disc ID Insertor and extract all the files contained in it to
a single directory on your PC and double-click on the disc_id.exe file. Click on the Browse button to located your extracted DNASXXX.IMG files, (NOTE
the corresponding DNAS Version will be selected automatically when loading in the utility each .IMG file), and enter your previously-obtained Disc ID in the
spaces below and click the Patch ID button. Repeat this process for ALL extracted DNASXXX.IMG files... some games will have only one, and some several.
NOTE: Failing to patch ALL DNASXXX.IMG files from a game back-up image will result in still receiving a DNAS error when going on-line... so check carefully!
6) Next, download and install WinImage on your PC. Then, open it and go to the Options->Settings->Image tab and when there be sure to select (check)
Allow Updates.... Now, open your previously-made .iSO game image in WinImage and BROWSE it until you come to the exact directory
where each of the DNASXXX.IMG files are (If you receive an "Image is Full" error when injecting you are NOT in the correct directory for each
.IMG file being injected!) and click the Inject Button. At the pop-up prompt, browse to your patched DNASXXX.IMG file, select Open, and then click
YES to all of the forthcoming Inject prompts. Repeat this process for all of the DNASXXX.IMG files that you extracted and patched, and then exit out of
WinImage (re-saving the modified .iSO game image is automatic, so not necessary).
7) Finally... burn your patched PS2 game back-up.iSO image file using Alcohol 120% if it is a CD-based image , or use DVD Decrypter if
it is a PS2 DVDR image by selecting MODE->iSO->WRiTE, browsing and selecting your patched .iSO image & clicking the Decrypt Button below. Enjoy

In another of your posts (i think) you mentioned a patch program that was much easier to use than doing the above process, if there is one where can i find it?
How many people have walked past you? How many people have walked past them? Have they been walked past as well?

When getting the disc ID, does it have to be the exact game you copied, or can you get another version of the game and use the disc ID from that?

Is there one?
If so where can i get it?
