Hello,

I want to boot Sonic Heroes NTSC (official game) on my PAL PS2 using SwapMagic 3.8 coder. Unfortunately it won't boot. When I've swapped the disks, it keeps being stuck on the "now loading..." screen. I tried booting on "normal" and "special", using "pal" and "ntsc", but none of them did work...

I tried running the disk in my computer using PCSX2 emulator, and it worked, so the disk isn't broken.

It's very strange, because it's the only game that doesn't work with swapmagic... I've got another 15 titles (imports, also NTSC or JAP), and those worked...

Can somebody help me?

If my memory serves me correctly, the image is too big for swapmagic (over 4.3gb) hence it wont boot

EDIT,, I remember i wrote a guide a very long time ago :)

you can either
1)rebuild the image to downsoze the ISO image (this game is fine iirc as it contains dummy data (search for guides if you dont know how to do this)
2)try a TOC refesh with a original game like fifa (i think fifa???) (search for a list of games that work using TOC refresh)
