I just got swap magic 3.2 and the slide card and all and I made a backup of Ico and when ever I try playing it swap magic just turns red or pink and it starts playin and freezes after about 1 second. I am burning the cd with Alcohol 120 and I am using Raw Dao and the PS2 template. What am I doing wrong? Tanks for the help.
I am buring at 1x and using Maxell disks which are high quaility ... i dont know what to do, i tried backing up a diffrent game it wont even start burning....
if it helps i made a backup of ico with clone cd and burnt a 4x the backup loads on my v7 ps2 with swapmagic cd (can't remember what make of cdr i used but will dig out the game and let you know)
My original Ico was a CD, not a DVD from what I remember. I didn't have to do anything special to back it up. I just use a freeware program, burnatonce, to do CD backups.
Have you made other cd based backups and have they worked?
Ico NTSC version is CD-ROM and the PAL version is DVD-ROM. I have had trouble with Maxell discs reading properly in older PS2's. Try some Verbatim media if you can get it.
I've just picked up on this thread after experiencing similar problems to the original poster. Basically, I've got:
PAL PS2 (PStwo)
Swap Magic DVD 2 and CD 3.0
an NTSC (US) copy of Ico.
...and I can't get it to load. I get the red screen, followed by "Sony Corporation of American presents", then it freezes. I tried it without a memory card and it freezes at the "continue without saving?" message.
Any ideas about what might be going wrong? I've googled to no effect.
Hi every one I've managed to back up a dvd game but I wonder if any one can help. I've just bought these swap disks and the pull card in the hopes that I can stop my kids for scratching their original disks. I've had a go with a dvd disk, backed up a game and played it no problem but when I put the cd swap disk in it dosen't boot up and dosen't ask me to "insert disk" is there anything I could be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
