Rebuild ISO for Swap Magic games! HELP PLEASE!

According with the www.swapmagicfix.com site, for example, for FIFA 2006 i would need to rebuild ISO.

So I first made a backup copy without rebuilding the ISO.
The game boots and initally works with SwapMagic. The menus are shown, i choose the teams, etc. But then, when the game is really about to start, the loading bar freezes up.
Anyone knows if this happens because the copy isn't good or if it happens because I didn't rebuild the ISO?

Anyway, i wanted to try to rebuild the ISO!
I don't want to shrink the game, don't want to rip, nothing.
Just want a 100% equal backup of the game with the ISO rebuilt.
Anyone can help?
Doesn't seem that FIFA 2006 has any dumb files also.

The other solution, on www.swapmagicfix.com for this was to refresh the TOC. But that doesn't seem to work on my Playstation 2. After I remove the A magic key, then the game won't load. And it's not much pratical either to switch 3 DVDs, to play just one game.

A good answer would be very apretiated. Thanks in advance!

The problem most likely is because you didn't rebuild it. do a search in the forums I've seen a few step by step tutorials for rebuilding games to use with swap magic.

Already read basically the whole forum and still not sure which toturial to follow.
I'm not worried about reducing the size of the game and most tuturials seem to be for people who want to rip the game.

Does Egnie's Export tool 1.05 works for this case?

FIFA has a false TOC, created by placing the location of the 1st file higher up the Table Of Contents than it would be if you made the image yourself. Hence the reason it 'appears' to be a 4.35Gb game, but is in reality only about 3Gb or so (cant remember the exact size, its that long ago since I rebuilt it)
The simplest, most correct & best way to rebuild any game, is by following this guide...
