    I guess I must be one of the forunate ones. I ran the patch, burned with Nero at 2x and it plays fine on my v7 PS2 with Swapmagic 2, go figure

    dbldggr, make sure you put the iso and the patch in their own directory. there shouldnt be anything else in that directory, just the iso and patch

    Well I did have them both in their own path, but just in case anyone else wants to know, one thank you for trying to help, and two, if you're getting this problem put the iso and patch in your local settings\temp folder, when you hit apply for the patch, it will come up with that error, but the DRK-MRC.COM file is in the folder just for the time the error message is left open, so leave the error up, then double click the DRK-MRC.COM file and it will go through everything and make the new .iso file you need. Then after it's all complete just close the patch and all the temp files that opened for the patch will go away and you're left with your iso, the patch, whatever else was in the temp folder, and the new iso that you can use your burning software to make the game, and it worked for me and I was burning at a 6x rate, oops for going to fast, but oh well, it always works for me. Thank you though man for trying to help me. Hope I can help at least one other person.

    I'd only recommend upgrading to swapmagic 3.x if you have a pstwo since my swapmagic 2 works fine with my v7 PS2

    I have not been able to figure out how to put the patch with my mercenaries iso file. How do I get them all into one file and then burn it to blank dvd-r? I am using dvd decrypter.

    Too short location length. (Less then 600000 sector)
    That's the error I get when I'm trying to record the game with cdvdgen. Do anyone know what's wrong?

    Hi ho guys!

    I did everything related to the patch but i don't have swapmagic... it's possible to use Action Replay 1.9 or ps2loader to don't get stuck in the load screen ?

    any tips or hint?

    btw: there's any way to get swapmagic latest version or it's a comercial program? and btW: it's hardware dependant like Action Replay ?

    My play it's 4 years old so i got the neo chip very old chip.

    L8r!

    if the file that you extracted is the same as the original iso, then just burn the new iso to your dvdr with decrytpter... thats it...
