Hi,
I cant get this backup to work, i am using swap magic 3.6 on my slim line ps2, it boots but then it stuck at the loading screen and dosent move. I have tried everything possible when i try to rebuild it, i have tried 3 different medias and tried all the boot options and it still wont get past that loading screen.
Is anyone having a similar problem? or any solutions to this.
Many Thanks in advanced
This was a download by the way and i have a us machine

NOTE BACKUPS WILL ONY WORK WITH SWAP MAGIC OR MODCHIPS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE 2 ITEMS BEFORE COPYING.
HOW TO REBUILD A PLAYSTATION 2 GAME
YOU WILL NEED...
1. DVD Decrypter
2. A dvd burning drive
3. (recomended)APACHE 2 or IML2ISO
4. CD_DVD-ROM GEN
5.ISO BUSTER for extracting the iso. (I would recomend APACHE 2 again because it is free and it does other jobs. plus it can extract a dual layer disks.
STEP 1. INSERT YOUR PS2 GAME INTO YOUR DVD DRIVE
STEP 2. DECRYPT THE GAME TO YOU HARD DRIVE USING DVD Decrypter
OPEN DVD DECRYPER AND WAIT FOR IT TO READ YOUR DISK. THEN CLICK MODE, ISO READ.
STEP 3. YOU WILL SEE A LITTLE FOLDER WHERE YOU CHOOSE THE DESTINATION OF YOUR ISO. CLICK ON IT AND CHOOSE WHERE YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR ISO.
STEP 4. ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED THAT CLICK ON THE ICON (A DISK AND THE HARDISK) AND CLICK ON IT TO START YOR DECRYPTION.
STEP 5. SIT BACK AND WAIT.(IF YOU GET READ ERRORS CLEAN YOUR DISK OR CHECK ITS NOT DAMAGED)
STEP 6. ONCE IT HAS FINISHED GO TO YOUR DISTINATION OF YOUR ISO. YOU WILL SEE IT SHOULD BE THERE. OPEN ISO BUSTER OR APACHE 2.
!!!OPENING THE ISO WITH APACHE 2!!!
OPEN UP APACHE 2 AND OPEN THE ISO YOU MADE (GO TO FILE MODE AND CLICK ON THE MINI FOLDER). IN THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF APACHE 2 THERE WILL BE A LIST OF FILES AND 1 ROOT. RIGHT CLICK ON THE VERY TOP OF THESE ON THE NAME OF YOU GAME WITH A LITTLE DISK ON THE LEFT OF IT AND CLICK EXTRACT ALL.CHOOSE THE PLACE AND CLICK OK.
!!!OPENING THE ISO WITH ISO BUSTER!!!
OPEN ISO BUSTER AND CLICK FILE, OPEN IMAGE FILE, FIND THE PLACE YOU MADE YOUR ISO AND CLICK ON IT. THWN THERE SHOULD BE YOUR GAME WITH A LITTLE SIGHN SAYING ISO ON THE LEFT OF IT. RIGHT CLICK ON THIS AND CLICK EXTRACT. SELECT THE PLACE AND CLICK OK.
WHEN YOU HAVE CHOSE YOR METHOD AND STARTED THE EXTRACTION, SIT BACK AND SIP YOUR BREW.
STEP 1. WHEN YOR ISO HAS FINISHED EXTRACTING OPEN UP CD_DVD-ROM GEN AND SELECT NEW PROJECT THE DVD ROM MASTER DISC (THE SECOND ONE)
STEP 2. CLICK ON CD DVD-ROM'S DIRECTORY (IF IT ISNT ALREADY SELECTED)MINIMIZE CD_DVD-ROM GEN FOR NOW AND FIND THE FOLDER YOU EXTRACTED YOUR ISO TO. DRAG THE CONTENT OF YOUR ISO INTO CD DVD-ROM GEN.
CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!
THE FILES MUST BE IN THE ORDER THEY WERE IN ISO BUSTER OR APACHE.
E.G IF SYSTEM IS AT THE TOP DRAG IT IN FIRST ETC.
STEP 3. ONCE ALL THE FILES ARE DRAGED IN TO CD DVD-ROM GEN GO TO THE TOP LEFT AND SELECT VOLUME.
STEP 4. YOU WILL SEE THE FIRST OPTION AS DISK NAME. MINIMIZE CD_DVD-ROM GEN AGAIN AND GO TO YOU EXTRACTED FOLDER AND LOOK FOR A FILE ON THE LINES OF SCES SCUS SLES ETC FOLLOWED BY A NUMBER. E.G SCES_517.19
STEP 5. MEMORISE IT AND GO BACK TO CD_DVD-ROM GEN AND PUT THE SCES SLUS SLES ETC. BIT IN DISK NAME.
STEP 6. THERE WILL BE A BIT OF SPACE IN THE NEXT BOX. HERE YOU WILL WRITE THE NUMBER. IGNORE THE DOT. E.G 51719 NOT 517.19.
STEP 7. YOUR BOXES SHOULD BE LIKE THIS...
disk name: SLES(or whatever you have) 45677(or whatever you have)
STEP 8. ON THE RIGHT IT SAYS PRODUCER NAME. HERE WRITE PLAYSTATION THE SELECT YOUR LICENSE AREA MINE IS EUROPE. IF YOUR GAME IS AMERICAN PUT AMERICA... LEAVE ALL THE OTHER BOXES BLANK.
STEP 9.PRESS RECORD YOU WILL GET 2 ERRORS. IF NOT YOU WILL NEED TO DAWNLOAD wnaspi32.dll which is included in Nero so istall that if you must. YOUR 2 ERRORS WILL LOOK LIKE THIS...
RECORDING UNIT IS NOT CONNECTED
INITALIZATION FAILED
STEP 10. THEN GO ON FILE, EXPORT IMAGE.NAME IT, CHOOSE THE AREA THEN SAVE.
STEP 11. AFTER THAT IS DONE OPEN APACHE 2 AND CLICK FILE, IMPORT IML. FIND YOUR IML AND CLICK OK. A LIST OF YOUR FILES WILL COME UP. AGAIN CLICK FILE, THEN BUILD ISO. THIS WILL BUILD YOUR FINAL ISO.
THE 99% PROBLEM
IF YOUR ISO GOES TO 99% AND KEEPS ON GOIG AND GOING THE CANCEL IT. WARNING THIS MUST BE A LONG TIME BEFORE YOU CANCEL IT.
DOWNLOAD APACHE 3 PREVIEW |(INCLUDED IN THE GRAN TURISMO 4 RIPKIT) FROM BACKUPTOOLS.CO.UK BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON THAT ONE WORKS.
THE FINISH LINE
ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR FINISHED ISO, OPEN UP DVD DERCYPTER AND CLICK MODE ISO WRITE. SELECT THE FILE YOU MADE AND CLICK 1X PLEASE DONT GO ANY HIGHER. ALTHOUGH IT WORKS FOR OTHERS IT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU SO BURN AT THE LOWEST SPEED FOR BEST PERFORMANCE. INSERT YOU BLANC DVD-R. DVD-R IS THE ONLY TYPE OF MEDIA THAT WILL WORK. THEN CLICK THE ICON.
I would recommend using Apache2..not had a problem with rebuilds using this.
This is what I did, and it works fine, i hope it works for you

Don't give up yo. Use IsoBuster to extract ISO, then rebuild in Nero (using create UDF/ISO). It tok me one time and worked like a charm.

you should do it on a NTFC or whatever, if you do it on a fat 32 you will get and MDS/MDF file and a split ISO (fat 32 wont let you have a file over a certain size, you need a whole ISO for this to work.
I did it on my laptop and then took the rebuilt ISO to my main comp to burn

i have done evrything to this game, dont think the ntfs is an issue because i have burned over 15 games some being needed rebuilding and they have always worked, its just this one is giving me headache. You using a slimline ps2? and what brand are u using?. Pentazip extracts it regardless of what size it is, u can get compression sofwtare which ignores the 4gb limit. I have noticed that both the games i am using are PAL, my machine is an american machine, could that be an issue?, Many Thanks for you help mate

Hey raggy1.
What;s the size of POP3 T2T after you rebuild it? is it around 2.83gb for the iso file?
Weird. after i followed your method it works perfectly.
However the size of the DVD dropped from 4.1gb to 2.83gb. Any idea how come?
When i downloaded the torrent and unrar all the files. the iso file was 4.1gb which i burnt onto a dvd and it didn't work.
Even when i used dvd decryptor to get the iso from the burnt disc, the size was still 4.1gb.
It only changed when i used iso buster to extract it when i saw 2.8gb.
Any idea if there's any difference in quality or something?
