Hi all, this is my first post here. I live in the Uk and last week I brought Swap Magic 3.6 Coder, and got it all working fine. The first game I copied was Naruto Ultimate Hero using Alcohol 120%. It worked fine, apart from the jittering in cut-scenes, but I guess thats down to it being an NTSC game on a PAL console. The next games I tried to copy were Battle Stadium DON and Super Dragonball Z. I burnt about 4 discs, for each game, and only 1 of them have worked. I managed to get Battle Stadium DON running, but it was mega horribly slow. I couldnt get a working Super Dragonball Z disc full stop. I know my burning methods are fine, because ive got Naruto and DON running. I think the problem is the cheap disks I am using. They are only Tesco DVD+R and they're the cheapest +R's in the shops Ive seen. So instead of putting another disc in the bin, Im going to buy some Verbatim's. I've heard about fakes, and want to make sure I get the real deal. This seems to be a good place to buy them and they are special offer at the moment.
So are these going to be good for playing/burning PS2 backups, and is this a legitamte seller?

I just downloaded DVD Identifier and it turns out that Tesco discs are manufactured by AML.

Pathetic garbage media, landfill material, about 0-50% success rate:

Guess the discs are the problem then, but I still need to know if those Verbatim discs are good though.
