is it a dvd 9 (7GB)(won't work with swap magic/hdadvance) or a dvd 5 (4GB) (will work with hdadvance/swap magic)
its a dvd5, 4.30gb, 2gb rebuilt. it doesnt work though on my ps2 with swap magic 3.6, just hangs on the 1st screen, same thing when its rebuilt. im using ritek r03's and my other games are fine with them
it works fine on my v7(using swap magic 3.6) ps2 using maxell media....i even tried using swap 2.0 and its still goin strong
ian2k5, I have the same problem as you where it freezes on the 1st screen. If you wait long enough it will load up eventually, choppy at first, but once you finally get to the game it runs fine. I am trying to rebuild it right now to see that improves the load time. Also, I'm not using the best quality media right now which may be part of the problem.
hmmm....im using maxell. ive used maxell for a ton of ps2 and xbox backups and ive never had a problem. is your ps2 chipped or are you using swap magic
I used Decrypter at 1x, Maxell discs, with swap magic 3.0 without rebuilds or patches and it seems to work fine
Copied mine strait up, nothing special, with DVD Decrypter Works perfect with Swap Magic 3.3 If you buy a quality burner and quality media you won't run into many problems.
I was having the same problem....the game would get stuck on the opening screen. I changed the burning speed to 1x (using DVD Decrypter)and it's working perfectly. I'm using TDK discs and Swap Magic 3.6.
Mine works flawless. I used Decrypter to read disc/write disc strait up with no rebuilding. Using a PS2 with a fliptop and SM 3.6 disc to play it. This is a easy game to do with only DECRYPTER. Also I just did the same with the following games yesterday no probles 1:1 using Decrypter only to read disc then write ISO to DVD-R. No patches/rebuilding needed and work perfect with Swap 3.6 I used Verbatim DVD-R at 2x for these.
