Hi, i recently bought swap magic 3,6 to play some backups of heavy damaged discs and its working well,

But ive recently bought the sims 2 for ps2 now and loading shit with clothes etc. is really taking ages so i wanted to ask how i can boot it from usb device?

I already made an iso but renaming the iso to elf wont work.

The files in the iso are:

Data.dir
Default.NGH
IOPSKU2.dat
SLES_537.18
IOPRP300.IMG
System.CNF

Ive placed it all on a usb device in a dir called swapmagic but now i onbly get black screens if i try to rename one of the files to swapmagic.elf.

So im hoping to get an answer here.

Just rebuild the game and burn it again to a top qaulity disc. The easiest way would be to use gnies expert, Its extremely simple to use.

Nothing wrong with the discs, games like bf2 modern combat and burnout revenge work extremely good,

I would just like to know how to boot it from usb device

Booting games with USB/Extreme Advance is a waste of time. Data transfer rate is slow, and there's a ton of compatibility problems. You can play games off a IDE HD, which is a much better solution, as long as you don't have a v14. You'd need HD Advance/Loader to do that. What version PS2 do you have? Here's some info which should help.
