First off, I'm using the Swapmagic 3 plus Coder Ver 3.8. I'm trying to burn Guitar Hero 2 with custom songs, but I tried this with ATV Offroad Fury and it still didn't work. I used CD/DVD Rom Generator and then Apache 2 to get the ISO file. I then burned the ISO to a black, formatted Sony DVD+RW with no problems. I swapped the disc into the PS2, it looks like its going to load up, but after a few seconds, it goes back to the browser menu (with the mem card & disc). I click on the disc and it does it again. (PS. It never says that it is not PS2 format media.) I've also tried it on a DVD+R, as I read that PS2's don't really like the RW's, but still nothing. What could be the problem? PLEASE HELP
Try using dvd decryptor to make the iso image, then use a dvd-r 8x top media band and burn it at half speed, see if it that works.
1. I think my DVD writer can only use DVD+R's 2. What's so special about dvd decrypter? 3. I've been burning every one at 4x speed
I just say dvd decryptor because thats all I use and havnt had a problem with it ever. It could be your dvd writer to. Also Ive noticed that my ps2 plays dvd-r and not dvd+r thats why I mentioned dvd-r.
Xplaya, can I ask how you installed your Swap Tool Pro V2 on your PS2 because I'm having a nightmare here trying to install tool 'A' (the smallest of the tools) that goes bottom right of the console. I have the slimline PS2, SCPH70003 Version. It seems theres no way it'll stay in. My instructions aren't very clear as to which way in it goes, is it the narrow bit goes in the gap first (after you move the switch to the right)? Or does it go in the other way. Hope I explained everything ok and I'm in the correct place to ask, as I'm new. Thanks
heres what you have to do take that iso you created with apache and use dvd decrypter to burn it to a memorex dvd-r. thats the cheapest working media i know of cause thats what i use. dvd-r are the only ones that work. no + or rw will work so definatly dvd+rw wont work
