ok ive looked for afew hours and i figured some stuff out but theres like 10 differant ways to burn games. I got dvd decrypter and dvd shrink and know i can use dvd decrypter to burn games. Why cant i burn games with dvd shrink, since it shrinks the files for you? and im using nero burner. if i have these 3 programs cant i just burn games with those. I got swap magicpro 3.6 and just got the magic switch pro v3. and all these posts are getting me confused. some help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use just about any burning program to burn the games,but most people prefer DVD Decrypter because its insanely simple and very effective.

Either Nero or DVD Decrypter will work.

DVD Shrink is made for doing movies, not games. That is why it would not work.
DVD DEcrypter and Nero will do just fine.
DVD Decrypter would be my first choice, but Nero is a great tool if you ever need to rebuild an ISO. It makes it a very simple process compared to those who do not have it.
Also, getting good media is a HUGE factor as far as burning games.
Cheap media can cause problems like your games not working, and cause stress to your PS2 laser.

NO, 95% of the games you get will fit on a DVD5 (4.7GB disc)

You will need Nero & ISO Buster (which is free) to rebuild games

We do it for the satisfaction of helping others
There is no credit, most people don't even appreciate the help you give or thank your for it.

So thank you for thanking us :)
