I have these two Ps2 backups, 1 downloaded 1 copied, one game is on: 587 mb and the other is on 407 mb. The problem is, that I heard that you cannot burn a game that fits a normal cd on a dvd disc and play in in a chipped ps2 (In my case Swap Magic).

I tried anyways and burned the 407mb game on a normal cd (700mb~), didn't work (tried to use the Swap Magic Dvd disc and then the Swap magic cd disc). Then I Burned the 587 mb game onto a normal disc and did the same thing... didn't work. So I burned the 587 mb game onto a DvD disc (4x speed), and used the Swap Magic dvd (as a normal ps2 dvd game)~ still didn't work...

Anyone who know what kind of problem I have here? because I can't figure it out... and another thing, anyone who know why you got both a Swap Magic cd disc and a dvd disc? (I have no idea... the cd disc doesn't seem to work anyway).

Thanks!

The CD disc boots cd based games, the DVD one boots DVD based games. Simple!

Both of those games should (going by the size) be CD based games. Most downloaded cd based games come in bin/cue format & you can burn them with Nero.

What games are they anyway?

Hi there. I did get a backup of Disgaea and even though it fits on a CD, you still need to burn it to a DVD, otherwise, it will not work. I did the same thing and the only way I was able to get it to work was to burn it on a dvd...

Hope this helps.

thanks Excko,
but I tried that with 3 different games now :P I get the text: no valid ps2 disc (or something like that).
I have no idea on what could be wrong... the other games works perfectly fine

if you have iso's that are cd games,they probably wont work

try converting the iso into bin format by..>

download this,
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/CDmage/965567220/1

load in the iso
save the file,and in the save option menu,convert track to mode MODE2/2352,
this should give you a bin image

or i think you can use ultaiso,just load in the iso
tools/convert/output format =bin cue

good luck
