Hi! I have a problem and i think that you can help me! I have a swap magic, for my ps2, and i can't play! Because, when i cange the cd's, i put "load program", and after that says "ps2 file not find". Some one can help me with this? PLS

what other than swap magic do you use, what other mod do you have to stop the PS2 from resetting when you swap

What dvd's do you use? use only good high quality media like Taiyo yuden, verbatim or maxell(Made in Japan)... and most times Ritek too, although some people don't like them (mine work fine)

And burn the game at 4x on 8x media using DVD Decrypter or nero's "burn image to disc" option in startsmart.

Have a look at my guide for other things you can do if that doesn't work.. (it's in my sig or in the stickies)

Be warned though, if you don't take the advice about media it most probably won't matter what you do as you'll always have bad burns etc.

so you're using the Slide Card that comes with the Swap Magic or are you using the Flip-Top lid for the PS2??

@ Pepsimaxx - Sorry, but he already said the slide card...

another thing, make sure that you're locking the tray back into place after you close the drive... a lot of people have made the mistake of not doign that and say their games don't work.

It's more than likely because you did not copy the game correctly.

or dose it say please insert a vaild ps2 disk
as ive never heard of a ps2 game say that before

If the games you burned are working on a different ps2, then the problem with yours is probably that you need to use the other format of disc.. if using DVD-R, switch to DVD+R.. and if using DVD+R, switch to DVD-R or booktype the discs when you burn.. there's a link in my profile page to a site about how to booktype.
