I have and .ISO image file of both GT4 and Smackdown verus Raw 2006 on my HD. My problem is my retail fliptop PS2 with Swap Magic 3.6 wont read the DVDs I use to burn the images of the games, it keeps saying Not A Valid PS2 Disc. Someone tell me what I need to do to make it work. I'll give you a step by step on what I am doing.

1) Burn .ISO image onto Sony DVD-R disc using the ImgBurn program(I've also tried Alcohol 120% and DVD Decrypter)
2) Using the DVD Swap Magic 2.6 I boot my retail fliptop PS2
3) At the main Swap Magic screen I take the DVD Swap Magic out
4) The tv now says insert bigger TOC disc while the fliptop cover is open
5) I insert the DVD-R I used to burn the game's .ISO image file onto and the screen says 'Load Program' and 'Video Mode: Normal' and at the bottom it says 'Not A Valid PS2 Disc'

What am I doing wrong or maybe not doing? Someone please help me, I need to make backup copies of these games!

Ok, what do you mean by retail fliptop PS2?
If you have a slim PS2 that came with a fliptop, and you think that is the type of fliptop you need then you would be mistaken.

You need to buy an aftermarket fliptop or another mod like Slimtool/Magic Switch/ Ghost Switch
These all stop the PS2 from resetting when you try to swap disc.
You should not have to "insert a bigger TOC" game at all.
And when it says that it is looking for an original PS2 game with a large TOC (Table of contents). But i used Swap Magic for a while and never got that message unless i accidently pressed eject on my oldert PS2 instead of using the flip top like i should have to swap discs.
