When I try to load up my backedup game I just get the swap magic background with red and blue lines moving down around it what does this mean?

Not exactly sure what you mean... Are you saying that when you try to load your backups you don't get any sort of border... it just sits there? Make sure you are following these steps:
1. Load swap magic
2. Swap the swap magic disc with your backup using the fliptop/slide
3. Press x
You should now receive either a red/green/blue border

You get a Green border for "marginal" burns. I still don't know exactly what your problem is. Perhaps you could tell me exactly what happens when you try and boot your backup.

Every time I try to boot up my back up the border apears to have a pattern of blue and red bars the width of the screen and the height of around 8 mm scrolling down the border.

Is that enough information?

I have the same Problem ! I have a PS2 Networtk edition + ATV FURY2
Model: SCPH-50001/N (Ver. 9 or 10 )
PS Driver 1.11/ CD Player : 2.00 / Dvd Player : 3.00u
I Use the Swap Magic Ver. 3.0 Disks with the PS2 Flip-TOPCover !

The SM-DVD 2.0 Disk works fine with all my PS2 DVD-R Backups,
but the SM-CD 3.2 Disk don't work with any of my CD-R(74min-650mb) Backups (I try too with a 80min CDR).

I use CloneCD, Alcohol 120% and CDRWIN but the CDR don't load.
I made the CDLoader v7 all CD-R but SwapMagic CD 3.2 did not loaded too.
What can i do ?

Ah, got it to work. It was only matter of bad image files or something.. made copy of one of my original games and it worked. After that some of the image games on my pc have started to work (well.. if you call loading screen, working)

All my DVD-R PS2 Backups works fine with the SwapMagic DVD 2.0 boot disk , but the SwapMagic CD 3.2 boot disk don't load my CD-R Backups (Red border) !
I am trying to make a backup of my PS2-CDRom
SUPER-BUST-A-MOVE but it don't load (SwapMagic red border ) !
---------------------------------------------
What you do to make your PS2-CDR Backups work with SwapMagic CD 3.2 Boot disk ?

1)What program do you use to read CD (version) ?
2)What Parameters do you set in the program ? (Read Speed, Subchannel data , bypass error , etc ! )
3)What program do you use to write to CDR and speed (version) ?
4)What CD-R do you use ( 74min or 80min ) ?
5) Do you use only the SwapMagic CD Boot Disk or
use another program to load the CDR-backup ?
----------------------------------
Help !

If the dvdrips are over 630mb then you need to use the breaker pro as a toc refresher disc.

Okay, i got a V9 PS2 and having the exact problem. I have tried 5 diff types of CD-R media and still cant get it to work. All of my DVD-R games work perfectly. Is there anyway that the Cd 3.2 still isnt compatable with V9-10?

are those 630mb rips supposed to not work at all, or just they wont work properly?

Cause 2 games over 700mb dvdrips have worked up to loading screen, etc


Just tried need for speed underground dvdrip and it works. I can play one race (in underground mode) and after that game freezes (no matter what you do [while racing other race or in menu screen]) So its bad rip or something.. Game is 800mb on HD and 703mb image when on cd
