Hi there!

Sorry about the provocative subject but this is one way to get the attention!

I already have mod (soldered myself long time ago) inside my ps2 and use ar2 to play cd-r:s. Now need to play the dvd backups also. (familiar with too many toc method, thanx)

if i copy/burn magic swap discs i should be able to load it with ar2, RIGHT? And then load the games in it?

Or should i change my mod to some new no solder mod?

What are my options?

help needed,

- not newbie, but not guru either -

What's the point of making a copy of the swap magic discs when you have the original? Why don't you just use the original Swap Magic dvd to boot your dvd-r backups?

OK,

Didn't your mother teach you not to answer with a question?

My point was: are you able to use copy of magic swap discs if you start it with ar2? Is the required bootinfo for launching dvd-r backups in the "illegal sectors area" of the original pressed disc or not?

That was the question, but maybe you simply don't have the answer for it....

Generally when somebody asks a question it's a good idea to not be a smart ass because your question most likely won't be answered. Second of all, the reason I asked you why you don't just use the original is because the only reason you would wan't to know how to play a copy of it is if you downloaded it which would be against forum rules...
However I will answer your question anyway just because I am in a good mood.
First of all I assume you have the neo 2.2 or the neokey since it's a solder modchip and you have to swap. If this is so then what you wan't to do will not work. First off, in order to boot a backup copy of the swap magic you would need to use the too many codes cheat. Once the Swap Magic has been booted you wouldn't be able to swap again because you have a swap solder modchip and it allows only one swap each time your ps2 is turned on. Therefore the only way you would be able to do what you want to do is to switch to an EA type of method such as the fliptop/slide-card/no-solder mod. Once you have one of those modifications here's how you would boot your backup of the swap magic.
1. boot the AR2
2. Select Start Game/without codes
3. swap the AR2 with the cdloader using ea method and press x
4. When the cdloader has loaded press eject and swap the cdloader with a large toc original such as the original Swap Magic(Though I doubt you have it) and press eject to close it.
5. Wait about 7 seconds and press x
6. When the Screen that says "swap dvdr by ea method comes up" swap the large toc original with the backup Swap Magic using ea method and press x.
7. When the Swap Magic loads you can now swap the Swap magic with your dvd-r backup by ea method and it will load.
8. There you Go!

What you are wanting to do is pointless if you have the original! So next time you have a question and you don't the get the response you want right off the bat then don't then don't shoot off your smart mouth or else your question will never get answered!
