So are you saying that none of your backups work? I have a version 9/10 with a fliptop cover and I don't have any problems with my backups. I use DVD Decrypter to burn my backups and I burn them to fujifilm dvd+r. Also my dvdloader works fine.

Hi Hanedrick,

Please help me.
I have a Ps2 model 50002 with a messiah 2 chip installed.
I have a 120 gig maxtor hard drive installed and am using Hd Loader PAL the an original copy.
I can transfer PS2 cdr back ups to the hard drive fine but CAN NOT for the life of me transfer PS2 dvd back ups to the hard drive.
It always says "not a valid PS2 disc".
Do i need something else?
Please help.

Regards
Hanedrick

I wish I could help you but I don't own the hdloader nor do I have a messiah modchip. The only thing I can think of is maybe your chips needs to be set in a certain mode to read dvd-r's(I don't use a modchip so I am guessing really.) If worst comes to worst just install the original.

what I'm worried about right now, is the inability for Swap Magic to load some of my original PS2 import games that are larger than the Swap Magic disc's capacity (DVD 9's, dual layers, etc). Is there any way around this?

I have V9 with DVD SM 2.0 and all my backups work fine.
Some games required DVD loader but most of the games do not. Check www.swapmagicfix.com for a list of games that requires DVDloader ( make sure it the V7 + version).

I have succesfully used Memorex dvd+r, HP DVD+R, and Ritek DVD+R.

Insert SM DVD when "insert disk" comes up swap fliptop/slide to change out with backup DVD game.

Your problem with using backup games with HDLoader...... well here's some tips for installing\copying\burning successful PS2 backups:

Alcohol 120% is the best program for PS1 and PS2 backups. Unfortunately, this program is now illegal in the USA, but i still use it to make backups of my own bought games. The backups work great if you have a good modchip installed. And yes, the backups work on HDLoader, when installed to a harddrive. Just search on google or kazaa for alcohol 120% and download it. Ive been using a non-cracked trial of it, works great.

If you're going to use HDLoader to install games+play games [duhh], then use a Maxtor or WD [Western Digital] harddrive. Never use a Seagate drive, because most of the time those wont work. Never worked for me for most of my games, and plus wwww.hdloader.com dis-recommends them too.

And although hdloader says ur harddrive has to be at least 40 GB, it doesn't. Ive been using an 8 GB Maxtor harddrive for a while, and it works pretty well for me, even tho the drive is really old [like 10 years old or something].

And if you're wanting to know of a good modchip, the following are great: [in order of bestness 1 being best, 3rd being great, but not the best]

1)Matrix Infinity
2)DMS3
3)Magic V [i use it in my V9 ps2, works well, tho i wish i didnt have to hold power down half way and then push reset for 2 seconds to play dvd movies or ps1 games]

Matrix Infinity is the best because you just load any fucking game or movie and it works. You don't have to select what mode to load the disks in. And I believe it also turns itself off once a game starts to load.

Ask me if you want more help with ps2 games. the only problem i have with my ps2 is that i cant get a sucessful copy of HDLoader or Codebreaker [only works if modchip is off] to work, but thats cuz they both use weird protections on em. It's weird, cuz I copied action replay max and it works perfectly. hmm

NTSC V9 PS2 chipped w\ Magic V
Network Adapter+9.49GB Harddrive
+HdAdvance[mem card]\HdLoader[disk]+snes station and other goodies

Am going to buy a Gamecube soon, anybody who wants to sell theirs... Email me - Lordtigger2k@yahoo.com
