How do I know when to rebuild the games to make it work with Swap Magic? Preliminary readings suggest that anything bigger than 4.37GB requires rebuilding, but are there other situations where I would need to rebuild as well?
Since my slim v12 PS2 won't be delivered until next week, I want to know if I can burn games onto DVD+RW (bitsetting to DVD-ROM) to test out a game before I permanently burn it to DVD+R. Will the PS2 slim read back up games on DVD+RW?

answer = ps2's dont like DVD+RW,and even if you get them to work,the tend to wear out the laser quicker as the laser has a hard time reading them,causing it to strain,and being as you have a V12 slim ps2,they do not have the strongest of laser anyway,so i wouldnt use them
but as you are only testing them,i cant see it doing any harm
Yea I'm just gonna burn my backup image on the DVD+RW to see if it will load on the PS2. If it works then I'll just burn the image on DVD+R (Taiyo Yuden) for real game play.
Also, about DNAs, do I have to patch DNA codes onto the ISO images in order for it to work properly? I'm not intending to play online, but if I make a backup image without patching DNA then will the back up still work?
So I have a couple PS2 ISOs from bittorrent, my question is whether I need to rebuild them or not. I read online that sometimes games are slow to load and need rebuilding. If that's the case, should I rebuild all the games anyways? Is there any harm done to the ISO or game then?
God of war and other games...but they're below 4.35GB though.
I mean I heard that sometimes ISO images burn data in the outer ring layer instead of the inner ring layer, resulting in slow loading times. Is there a way I can spot this before burning the file by using ISObuster?
